I havent been on here for quite some time although some of you might remember me.
Basically until New Year I lived with my partner and we had 6 house rabbits. Sadly after 7 years together we split up and I eventually moved into my new house in June. I have gone from living in a 3 story house to a 2 bedroom house and space is tight.
I've taken Gus, Frida and Bracken with me - Gus & Bracken are now bonded (for all those who know my bonding problems this is good ) and live in the spare room. Frida is in my bedroom but has full run of the house at the moment. I also have Florrie the guinea pig in the spare room.
Gail has kept Zeb, Saffy & Edina. Saffy & Edina are bonded and are really easy to care for and are happy. However Zeb is used to lots of affection, can be really destructive, hates other rabbits and Gail is finding it hard to look after him. I had him this weekend while Gail was away and he seemed much happier in a small pen in my living room than in the large bedroom he has at Gails. The only problem is my house is really small and I dont know if I can take him permanently - he hates my other rabbits and I would have to stick baby gates up everywhere to stop him from getting to the other rabbits.
I cant have him at the moment as I'm still waiting for the flooring to be put down in my living room.
Basically I just want some advice - I dont want to leave Zeb in a bedroom by himself getting depressed. Gail wont have another rabbit so bonding him at hers is out of the question - if I take him I cant have another rabbit because that would mean 5 rabbits, 1 guinea pig and me in a really small house. I dont know whether to take the difficult step of rehoming him which would break my heart -or whether I should take him to mine in September when my house is finished.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks. Sarah.
