Hi all
We have lost our male rabbit and want to get a partner for our female. We got both our rabits from a rescue centre but only the male was neutered. Now she is on her own, it seems a good idea to have her done before getting a new partner.
Someone i know said we can have their male rabbit but we thought it might be better for her to hold onto him until we have Lavender spayed as I know you need to seperate them for a while after spaying.How long do you seperate them for? Do you think i should wait? I am sure she would like the company. But we couldn't have her done for at least a couple of weeks as we are quite short after paying out vet costs for the bunny who died.
Also, Lavender is quite timid, she is better than she was but i am guessing she will not want to be in the house for long after the operation, especially as there isn't anywhere she could have a lot of space to roam freely. How soon can they go back in their outdoor home?
I understand that insurance does not pay for the operation, but will insurance cover any possible complications after spaying?
Also, i would love advice about bonding. i am going to read through some old posts here but i have not yet. My concern is that if we are supposed to only allow them to see each other other a small part of each day, we don't have the money or space for another good size hutch/run. So we would rather put them together straight away if they seem to get on. Is this unwise?
Also, the buck in question is a dwarf and she is a medium size rabbit. Is this ever a problem with bonding?
many thanks
