Interesting question, although I'm some way from being in a position to get a friend for Spenser (assuming he'd want one). To be honest, I find myself thinking more about the potential advantages to the bun, rather than the extra cost - I'm not very practical.
i found with getting jasper the amount it cost for him and bella was alot more than i expected. had that whole 'its only one little bunny ' mentality :roll:
how much do you spend roughly now?

Adopt rabbits from a rescue they're cheaper than pet shops and you do a good thing.
The rabbit should be free, it's only the neutering and vaccinations that are costed.
A run is like for £40
Food £10 big bag
Grass free if you have some in your garden.
Double the vaccination cost of what you have now. These are obviously important so both bunnies must get done.
Then just a little bit more food and hay.
They share toys and a litter box.

I think it's great you are thinking it all through properly There are always things you don't think of to start with, remember though that if you buy a temporary home for the new bun, then once they are bonded you could always sell it and recoup some of the money which could maybe go towards a set of jabs etc?

i didnt take vaccinations into account scooter hasnt had any of these so twice as much there.
Not sure if you have seen the threads about VHD alerts as there have been large areas of the country where VHD has been identified. There have also a number of people reporting over the past months about rabbits with myxie.
Please if your rabbit is not vaccinated get these done ASAP to reduce the chance of your rabbit getting these. Vaccination is definately cheaper than having to pay for the vetinary care if your rabbit contracts myxie. Sadly with VHD when you know your rabbit has this disease it is too late to do anything
