I have been letting humphrey who is a house rabbit out to excercise with sugar and spice for company and they have been getting along fine,anyway today he is in their playhouse and all three are grooming each other and i now wonder if he would be happier living with them or to keep him in but he can go out with them for playtime? He does seem really happy in the house,he goes up and down stairs and come on the settee for cuddles etc but wonder whether i am being selfish:roll:
 
Sounds to me as if he'd prefer to be in a trio...it's only natural for buns to want company of their own sort. There are a few singletons who dislike other buns, but yours clearly isn't one of them... :?
 
I'm assuming sugar and spice are buns? Rabbits are happiest together, so if your outdoor setup is big enough I'd give that a shot. Has he been in their hutch/run at all? As it's Sugar and Spice's territory it might be best to scrub it out, and even move it to a different spot, if he's not been there before.
 
:lol: If only all bondings were that straightforward - sounds like a trio has been formed :lol:

I know<as i speak all three are lying in the playhouse together even though the door is open so i am guessing they like each other ,they have all groomed each other .If i keep humphrey as a house rabbit it would be for my sake i think :roll:

Sorry yes they are rabbits ,all three have been spayed/neutered and he has been in their playhouse and they are grooming him in there so they dont seem to mind,It is a 7ft ,5ft playhouse with a 7ft,4ft run attached so plenty of space.Would have fun if i had to move it as its two floors high as well lol
 
I think most people would probably think that humphrey has made his own choice about what to do LOL ! Why is he a house rabbit, was it for any particular reason i.e. will he be healthy outside ?

Tbh he was always going to be bonded with them but has been kept in after his neuter till his hormones died down which has taken 6 weeks lol He just seemed really happy in the house :roll:
 
What do you think ,humphrey is the white one x

Why don't you do what I did with my boys. Keep them in the playhouse when you're out and bring them all in for some time in the house and to socialise with you? :D

Humphrey does come in and out when the door is openbut sugar and spice dont seem happy when in ,they hide under the couch:roll:
 
i don't know how to do a poll either, but in the end, if all the bunnies agree, what does our opinion matter? they looked like a snuggly bunch of buns to me. :D

Although the other two do look a bit grouchy :lol: It might be wise to keep an eye them in case any problems do occur, I am going by the usual bonding principals on most of the threads I have read, it's still quite early days really. Hope they continue to get on really well.
 
I would defiantely leave them to it - they look so snuggly and happy! :love: There's no reason why Humphrey can't have 'Mummy time' in the house sometimes (except in winter obviously, unless their playhouse is heated) without the others. I think that'd be the perfect solution. :D
