Flopsy's new friend... Tiara

I've been looking for quite some time now for a female friend for my Flopsy, and today I went to a local rescue (a private one) about half an hour away from me. They are primarily a small animal boarding place, but often rabbits are left by their door apparently and they then try and rehome them.

I fell in love with Tiara (have a look at her head, she has a grey "crown") and they offered to allow me to take Flopsy in and bond him, but me being me, I wanted to try the bonding myself, and since bringing Tiara home this afternoon, and using all the advice I had read on this forum and from the RSPCA, I tried it.

I will be taking Tiara and Flopsy back to the rescue as I only lasted half an hour with them out together before my nerves got the better of me and I separated them I'm hoping their friendship does work, and although I wasn't overly happy with them being out together in the garden, Flopsy hasn't completely mauled her, he actually ignored her for most of the time, and pestered me :?

Anyway, take a look at Tiara... she's 3 years old, spayed and quite large (personally, she's slightly too large!!)







Flopsy got bored of waiting for Tiara to succumb to his charm :lol:




I was waaaaay too nervous to take pictures of them together, but to be honest, they rarely went near eachother, and when they did I panicked, but hopefully it will be the start of a great friendship!

Edit: Today Tiara has been digging in compost, so her cute fluffy fur is no longer white :lol:

Aww, they are both lovely!

But bonding should have been done in a small/neutral area such as a dog crate or pen.
I hope the bonding at the rescue works out! They will make a bunsome couple

she's lovely

If you mean Flopsy, then yes he is, he was done a few months ago, and to be honest, it has not changed him one bit! He still sprays his hutch (and me if I get too close!!) he chews it, despite having a wide selection of toys and treats, and enjoys getting frisky with my dressing gown when he comes in the house :lol: Oh, and he's probably even more territorial since being done aswell... I thought neutering was meant to help calm him down?! :lol:
