A lot has changed in the past few months in my world of buns. Ben, my buck, died in September, leaving his two girls. We then got this little man from Warwick RSPCA.
Fraiser is a fun-loving bun and still binkies around the garden. The bond, however, wasn't as successful as I had hoped. It was more a case of toleration than love. Anyway, since then Jess has died and Pippin has to come indoors and isn't well at the moment. She will probably be an indoor bun for the rest of her life, and we don't really have room for any more inside the house.
So this means that we need to think about getting a new girlfriend (or two) for Fraiser. The part that worries me is the prospect of an unsuccessful bond. Fraiser free-ranges in the back garden -so we don't really have any 'neutral' territory (although there are parts of the garden he rarely visits). I have heard some rescues do bonding, but I'm not sure that there are any near me who provide that.
I am just wondering, would it be much more difficult to bond him with two girls rather than one? I have heard tales of bonded females falling out when a new buck comes on the scene.
As ever, all advice welcome.
