My darling bunny Nuggette passed away last Friday leaving her partner Otis all on his own. He seems to be quite depressed without her and I'm wondering if it's worth getting another bun to keep him company. He's about 5 years old and a neutered standard rex, he's a very hefty bunny, not fat, just big.
Should I get a bun similar in age or a baby just thinking of bonding? Also would he tolerate a neutered buck or is a doe the best match for him, I'm just aware of how territorial does are?
I've always fancied a French lop, how much bigger are they than standard rexes and would one be able to live in 6 foot two storey hutch or is that too small? I know a lot of people keep them in sheds to combat the size issue but unfortunately I'm not in the position to get a shed at the moment. Would I be better off getting a similar sized bunny or does it not really matter?
Sorry for all the questions. I've done searches but get conflicting information.
Thanks for any responses
