Think the Future Father in Law might just have finally agreed to me finding Benjamin a bunnywife. He's concerned about space and the cat, Evie.
Benjamin livesin a 2 storey hutch that is about 3" long by 2 wide and 4 tall. He's never confined to it, unless I'm cleaning the floor. The hutch is at the back of the kitchen which is about 3-ft wide and about 12-15 long, which Ben has full range of every day. Its bunnyproof and kept safe and tidy. There's a modified baby gate blocking the kitchen from the rest of the house.
When its possible which is several hours each day, Ben is allowed to free range around the downstairs rooms and half way up the stairs.
There's food and water available at all times, with hay, pellets and vegetables, sometimes fresh herbs and grass/weeds from our untreated garden.
Evie is a fairly young cat of about 7 months old. She likes Ben and can be found venturing into the kitchen of her own accord to visit Ben in his hutch, get fussed over when we're in the kitchen with Ben/making food, or to steal his toys and water. When Ben free roams, Evie will play games of tag and hiding. No aggression on either side. No proper grooming yet, though Ben tries Evie runs away. Benjamin doesn;t really chase Evie out of his hutch either instead sharing hay with her.
If I can get a solid positive answer from the FFiL I'll be looking for a nice medium sized, year or so old bunnywife for Ben. If they choose to bond together she can come home, else we'll go on some blind dates and see if any stick.
Anyone know of any nice girl bunnies that fit the bill that are in Scotland or could be brought up for attempts at bonding? If the bond failied the doe would sadly have to be returned for homing as not enough space for two rabbits seperately... (sadly not a fan of Rex fur types. Sorry!) It so I can show the options to FFiL to see if helps sway his mind fully.
