Ok...so i've been toying with the idea of getting Domino a girlfriend.
I have these strange worries and I was wondering if anyone can relate to them or offer some words of wisdom or whatever
My main concern that actually fills me with an awful anxious feeling, is that Dom will feel upset or threatened if I bring another rabbit in. He is such a happy little soul and we have a close bond and I'm so terrified of losing that....
I have read up a bit on bonding etc and understand that it's not a case of chucking them in together :lol: and that it may take a while for them to accept each other. Is it going to be stressful for him? Is there a chance that he will change towards me?
The other worries are housing changes to accomodate, firstly the bonding process, followed by extending his housing for them both.
Setup at the moment is; Dom has NIC cubes on 3 storeys in a square shape 4'X4' which he is in overnight and then has the run of the flat (except bedrooms) during the day and evning.
Will he still be able to free range if I keep the other in whilst they're not totally "bonded" - I don't want him to be cooped up unnecessarily during this time but qouldn't want to leave them unattended until they're totally OK about the whole thing!
Finally, do I just call a rehoming centre adn arrange to take him down to meet some of the girlies??
Sorry for all the questions about housing, bonding and me being a complete paranoid person (I just love him SOOOO much and want the best for HIM)
Thanks in advance:wave:
