I am totally confused as to what to do with Bumble. I adopted him from BARC with the intention of bonding him with my trio but he then got in with them and he and Molly had a horrendous fight and he got hurt, so I gave up on that idea.
I then thought I would bond him with Apple, one of my foster buns, but because of hurting my shoulder and my shifts I still haven't done it and now Bumble is outdoor and Apple is indoor and the temperatures are different.
Bumble keeps getting into the other half of the run. He so wants to be with other bunnies. I haven't a clue how he is doing it. He is partially sighted and there is wood, a wire panel and his hutch door acting as a barrier across the width of the run. I watched him for ages today to see how he was getting through and he wouldn't do it
When I find him in the other half of the run, the trio are in their hutch and Bumble is outside. It looks like they are scared of him, although it was he who was injured when he fought with Molly originally.
Both my jobs are busy at the moment and I can't take consecutive days off and work weekends so am not going to be able to bond for some time - possibly not until I get a break over Christmas. I worry about bringing Bumble inside, although I have no heating on (boiler has broken) so my house is very cold anyway, but hopefully that will soon be fixed.
My foster buns have been together for so long now that I think it would be cruel to separate them and I've asked if I can adopt them all rather than just Apple. I am not sure whether to bond Bumble with the indoor trio and then keep him indoors until Summer or bond Bumble with the outdoor trio and risk Molly hurting him again and Dylan (my Very Old Bunny) getting stressed and keep the house cold and then put them all outside again.
I don't have the provision to bond outside - no shed or anything.
Bumble seemed happy to start with but now he looks so sad and I think he is bored and lonely. I should have bonded him sooner and I do feel bad about it.
Any suggestions anyone?
