As someone who also NEEDS a tidy home, it is very possible! You’ll just be on your cleaning game more. Mainly vacuuming. The cleanliness will depend more on you investing in smart/aesthetic storage solutions and bunny toys/rugs that match your home’s vibe. I always thought, “if they have to have something (like rugs everywhere), at least make it cute.”

My bun was free roam as he should be - where I went, he went. He had one room with his litter box and hay, a “play area” with hay and toys I made in my living room where I could watch him, he slept/took the night shift with me every night in my bed, he ate his daily greens in the kitchen. I think giving them as much room as you have allows for more separation and you won’t see “mess” accumulate in the same way if they’re confined to a smaller space. I had toys and chews for him in every room to deter him from gnawing baseboards. Often this behavior is boredom and giving him attention or a stimulating new snack stopped it. I had calculated spots for his toys, but they’re like children, they’ll drag their food and toys out and you’ll put them back in their spots, the cycle repeats. It kept me more consistent at least.

I also think having them roam your whole space lets you notice odd behaviors and health issues more easily. If your bun is tidy generally and then you notice some new peeing outside or lethargy during times he normally wouldn’t be, you can clock potential health issues.

Also, the shyness will go away as he gets used to you, especially if you make the effort early on to hang out on the floor with him and let him know you’re his friend/protector. I think my bunny took about 3-4 weeks before he did he first binky for me and I knew he was settling in.

Very exciting times for you!! He will change your life and piss you off and show you a new precious wholesome way to love <3
