I went to P@H last week and fell in love. I spent 20 minutes with her and a assistant. She has been a bottom of the garden rabbit. fed on mainly carrots no hay, or pellets, just carrots she has had no human contact, so is a bit wary, but the lady did say that she is improving. and that she had improved so much just since last week. She is about 6 months old and has a dewlap, so will need neutering.

I asked the usual questions, although their answers are not very good as their forms are not very good.

I did ask what would happen to her, in the next week and the lady told me that they do have a regular who picks some of them up

but she has preyed on my mind all week. After such a neglect ful 6 months she has had, I really do feel for her. the Rabbit next door had been returned twice

I would love to bond her into a trio. I have Sophie and pending a bunny run I have Flipper, so it would be a group of a male and 2 females, none who have met.

I think it the case of once rabbits have hit puberty, they will go together regardless.

If you have got your heart set on it then get her.

Have you got the facilities if she does not bond into your pair to keep her.

If you can do it without stretching yourself too much money, time and space-wise then go for it.

**Remember though Louise, if I ever ask a similar question, you have to say 'go for it' too!!!

I always do. I more rabbits in safe homes who are loved the better.

What got to me is the bad start in life she has had both Flipper and Sophie are about the same age give or take, I know Jill/Amy have given filpper 100% and I have Sophie. but this poor girl.

I have seen other rabbits there, but this is the first one to have an effect on me.

I don't see why not if you really love her. You know she will be going to a good home. What if you don't get her/wait and you go back and she's gone. Ask yourself how you will feel and that should answer the question

Also... sorry for going off topic here but why does having a dewlap make a girly more in need of neutering? I probably sound really thick

It doesn't, its just one of the signs that she is sexually mature, and going from the previous feeding/care then she would n't have been spayed ergo she needs to be before bonding could begin. She may have gone, as it was last Saturday I saw her

Edit does anyone know p@H neutering policy for adoption buns?

is that just PAH adoption rabbits.

I was told last week that they only offered reductions on large rabbits! Nat is that a nation wide thing, do you know?

I did send a pm saying that I think much is down to the rabbits personaity rather than age.
