Tila has just been moved into his new hutch - two levels, each level 6ftx3ft x3ft tall. He will soon have a run of 6ftx3ft attached, we only need to wire it, so needless to say, there is lots of space.
In the coming months when I get another job and am financially stable again, (I'm losing mine, will explain later but not on this thread), I am hoping to get Tila a partner, he's been solitary for the year and a bit I've had him due to various reasons - space, money needed to make more space (another hutch) etc.
After being solitary for so long, I'm worried he won't bond with another - he can be quite aggressive at times, and although he has no incisors he has a deadly blow with his back claws like all rabbits :lol:
I'm hoping to get a rescue bun from a shelter organisation, providing I pass home checks (I may or may not, due to having cats and dogs.) I'm hoping that if they do pass my home checks, they will allow me to do a few bonding sessions with Tila and prospective bun before I commit to adopt, as I couldn't bare it if I adopt a bun and they don't get along, I don't have the room or money for yet another big hutch, hence this one being huuuuuge enough for two bunnies.
New bun will go into Tila's old hutch temporarily, only until a few weeks have passed after spay/neuter if they aren't already when I adopt them.
If I don't pass their home checks, does this mean I shouldn't adopt another? Failing a home check means they don't think I'm a suitable home for another bunny
The question is this though (after that terrible rant), in your opinion, what type of bunny do you think Tila may get along with? He is very stubborn and headstrong, and as I said can be aggressive and very possessive, especially over his litter boxes (hes got 2). Would he bond better with a more timid rabbit, or one that is headstrong and confident like him? He's quite large, too, somewhere between 3 and 5 kilos (can't remember exact weight Been a while since he's needed a vet visit, thankfully). I don't mind which gender - either way they will be spayed/neutered for health safety.
Sorry for the rant - hope you can make some sense of my mindless mess of a post haha
