Not much point to this thread but I'm feeling for my Mum at the moment!
She's looking after her friend's bun for a fortnight (at her friend's house) while she's away on hols. This bun is a single, unneutered male who recently lost his spayed wifey. So he's a bit lonely.
Anyway, Mum got this phonecall the other day to say that she'd in fact be feeding two bunnies because her friend's sister had left her unspayed female there (in her own hutch/run thing) to 'keep the other one company cos he's lonely'. :roll:
Mum's annoyed because she can see that the poor things are frantic with hormones, they can see and smell each other, and are going a bit crazy. She got there the other day to find the girlie bun had tried to dig her way to the boy bun!:shock: Mum thinks it's just cruel having two unneutered buns in sniffing distance of each other, so she's getting upset. And what happens when girlie bun goes home? Boy bun gets lonely.
Mum's mentioned before about neutering, about the difference it makes to behaviour and much happier our boys were when they weren't ravaged by hormones, but her friend is the type who gets bunnies just to 'have' them, she doesn't see the point in stuff like vacs and neutering, whereas Mum's were her substitute children that she'd drop everything for, so she's getting frustrated!
No point really, but I wanted to share her pain!
