Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
Bertie is very lonely, up until yesterday we hope he had a special lady bun lined up, but this is sadly no longer to be
Bertie is a 5 year old, rather large dutch cross, looking for love, this is his story,
We rehomed Bertie and his brother Bruce as a bonded pair to live with Prudence, They had been in the rescue a year as Bruce is a biter. The group got on well although it was obvious Bertie was in charge, chasing Bruce every so often.
The problem came when Bertie had gut stasis and had to stay at the vet. I took Bruce with him but in a small vet cage they fought badly and although I tried hard to get them to live together back home it didn't work out.
What made us angry was that we found out that the 2 had been fighting at the rescue center but no one bothered to tell us, and also that this was the reason they were brought in to the centre.
Bertie now lives in a large house and run where he can see Bruce and Pru through the bars. He spends all his time watching them, he refuses to go in his house at night because he hates being alone. He's now refusing to eat unless he can see them, which has become a problem with the wet weather as they need to be fed in their sheds.
I've tried to reintroduce them but it doesn't work, I've brought him into the house but he sits at the door to be let out.
Bertie is a lovely cuddly bunny, who just doesn't get on with his brother. Does anyone have an older lady also looking for love. The set up is all on a level so would be ok for a bunny with mobility problems, she just needs to be able to live outside and get on with male buns.
I am getting worried for Bertie as over the last couple of weeks he has started to become depressed despite me giving him loads of extra attention.
Can anyone help?
