Don't worry he's fine. Sorry formatting I'm on phone.
So my boyfriend's sister (f18) has a rabbit we will call Thumper. She got him a few years ago and promised to take care of him but complains when she has to feed him, change his litter, water him and complains that he's a dick. He is a little rude but that's because she sucks at handling animals, doesn't listen to their cues and keeps pushing.
He lives in a hut and a small caged zone that he has been escaping from. As punishment from escaping she has not been letting him leave the hutch.
She's going off to college and can't take him with her so I offered to keep him because he's a sweetheart when not caged for a week straight. I also have been planning making him his own area that's much bigger for him to spread out.
Here's where I fucked up. To prepare for the transition we have been having supervised free roam time when I'm home alone, that way he and the dog can get better acquainted. The dog has anxiety, like we have to give her weed during storms anxiety.
When he breaks out she chases him back into the cage and is chill unless he drinks her water then she freaks out. So I thought "well I just have to keep her from chasing him. She is currently sitting on my shoulder shaking because he thumped at her. This girl is freaking out because he's out of his cage and invading her space. I'm comforting her but I thought I would be stopping her from bulling him not the other way around.
TLDR TIFU by giving my dog an anxiety attack by letting the rabbit free roam
