Hugo's There
Wise Old Thumper
After what has happened today and what happened to Austin in January, we are now questioning if we are doing our best by these special bunnies.
Do we continue to neuter the bunnies that are otherwise healthy but have neurological problems so they have the chance of bunny company or do we keep them single so they do not have to face the risk of a GA?
Both Geordie and Austin craved company and were so excited to see another bunny. But both of them had no hormonal behaviour (except when loose with another bun) and adored human company.
They were both very happy bunnies that truly loved life, but we wanted to offer them everything a "normal" bun would have. We are now wondering if maybe that was expecting too much for them.
Austin would spend hours sitting with us on the sofa, he would even sit on my arm when I was eating so I had to lift him everytime I put the fork to my mouth
Geordie loved being carried around like a baby, i would hold him with his head over my shoulder and gently pat his back. I always joked that i would be so shocked if he actually burped He would spend hours like that given the chance. He even washed my hand as i put him in the carrier this morning
I know ideally all bunnies should have bunny company and we do put a lot of emphasis on bonding here, but neither of these bunnies have company now
So should we stop neutering these type of buns and just give them the best life possible with human interaction and other buns around them but no proper companion?
