to consider getting another rabbit?

Fudge has been at RSPCA for over a year. I had him as a foster bun for a bit and fell in love wiht him. He only went back because they wanted me to take Dave who Hilda now has.

Fudge is a gorgeous little bun who keeps getting over looked because of his colouring and because he nibbles when you pick him up -DONT pick him up then :roll::lol:

I am very tempted to try bonding Fudge with my outside three. I'm just interested in getting some opinions

This is Fudge

Definately not crazy but where would he go?

I think so long as you can afford him then go for it.

If I could bond him with B C and D he could go in the shed with them. A and E are having their own shed when its warmer

He would also fit in with my weird alphabet theme

Abi what do you think about putting a boy in with Dutchie? Fudge is a bit more fiesty than Albert and of course he is an adult?

LilVicky · Feb 17, 2010

go for it!

if you can afford another bun, then i dont see why not

He is gorgeous and I can't understand why he's not been snapped up yet. Why not offer to take him on as a "long-term foster"..no vet bills!!

I dont think it helps that they are saying he is for experienced rabbit owners only. He would be ok with most people as long as they weren't small children. I asked Shawn about it and he said that if it was any other rabbit he would say no but that Fudge was special

Well that settles it, he has to come home with you.

:lol:

Seriously though, if you have room, money and a back up plan in case he doesn't bond with who he's supposed to, then go for it.

Thats the only issue and whats holding me back. He could only go with B C and D and if that doesnt work then theres a problem. Is trying worth the risk to stop him being a lonely rescue bun for another year?

lottielouise · Feb 18, 2010

could they not bond for you? or allow you to take him for a month and get another rescue to bond

I wouldnt get them to bond. I am having a chat with Abi about it all. She has bonded the dutch three twice and knows what they are like.

lottielouise · Feb 18, 2010

he is handsome. Did you manage to get a camera?

Yup should be arriving in next few days

OMG, he's more gorgeous than I remember

Like the other have said, if you have a back up plan etc then go for it. If it were me I'd go for a "long term foster" then you could try to bond, if that worked out then you could adopt him. I was determined with Astrix that he was not staying, he hated being picked up, was very territorial so the answer was (a) don;t pick him up, and (b) gain his trust by healthy treats .... he now tooth purs when fussed

I have a spare 48" crate and small indoor cage is you need

Unfortunately I dont have space inside for him so it would it be a case of bond with the Dutch lot or nothing

He sounds very like Asterix

Do it. I have taken on the absolute limit and don't regret it one bit although it is very hard at times. I think if you can afford it, and fell in love with him, then there is no point denying him a bloomin' good home... especially if OH said YAY! xx
