If anyone can advise me on what to do, i would be most grateful. My girl bun died on Sunday (it was very traumatic and makes me cry everytime it think about it) and my boy bun is now on his own. He is 4/5 years old and is partially/completely blind thanks to his start in life (i took them both off of my cousin nearly a year ago as he had the most horrific eye infection that was being left untreated and they were both stuck in a tiny cage 24/7 and were completely ignored). They were brother and sister and had always lived together. I am really worried about him and have been advised that he should have a new bunny friend sooner rather than later and that a laid back, calm girl bun would be best for him.
I have a couple of additional problems in that the nice lady i spoke to from a rescue charity said that my hutch is too small for two buns, it is a Thistle hall from p@h, 4ft double story but he is only in it at night, the rest of the tgime he has free rein in our enclosed garden. I am also having treatment for cancer at the moment so i don't think i have the energy to get another hutch and make it "homely"-the one that i have at the moment has carpet on the upper level, lino/foam tiles on the lower level and i have insulated it inside and out so that it is warm. I also don't have the facility or energy to bond him with a new rabbit by myself-although i was told that any good rescue would do that for you?
What should i do? I am really at my wits end. I have tried so hard for these rabbits this year. it has taken me so long to get rid of his eye infection and to get them both to have some sort of quality of life. I was just starting to get somewhere and was starting to feel that they were both ok and now this. I feel so sad for him. I am trying so hard to give him the best retirement as he had such a rotten life so far and now i don't know what to do. It breaks my heart everytime i look at him in his hutch on his own
Please advise me if you can
