Hi
I was hoping anyone would have a good idea of what temperment would be more compatible with my buck.
He was the runt of the litter and was the first to be weaned onto solids. One day the owner went to feed the bunnies and found him huddled in the corner as the other ate.
Worried she took him indoors and he started eating straight away. She found that he was probably pushed out all the time when feeding which is probably why he started eating solids first. The others weren't aggressive with him but when he'd be in the hutch with them he'd be huddled in the corner, so she took him inside and he flurished.
Now a happy little housebunny with me I am looking for a companion for him. I'm torn between two rabbits with different personalities.
One is the first to hop onto your lap for cuddles. The other is really placid, sometimes keeps to itself and chills out.
So, for my boy who perhaps wasn't the most confident boy with other rabbits.. do you think he'll need a rabbit that seems a bit shy or a rabbit that is probably on par with him?
I just don't know how he'll feel about sharing food seeing how things were when he was a baby. Do you think he might push a younger bun around?
I read Cheryl's thread about bonding but thought perhaps anyone would be able to say which of the two rabbits has more potential for a successful bonding with my chap.
