Quick question re: bonding.
I have a pair of bonded female buns and have just accidentally aquired a 9week old male. He will be neutered in a few months as soon as he's old enough. I'm going away in 4weeks for a fortnight and my non rabbit keeping neighbour will be looking after my buns. I know it's not ideal, but it's the only real option!
They are currently sharing living quarters with a wire partition seperating them.
I'm unsure as to whether i should attempt to bond them so they can all live together when i'm away. If i did it now, i'd have almost 4weeks to work on it and i could then put the partition back in in a few months before neutering and afterwards during recovery.
I'm worried that delaying it by another 6weeks will make bonding more problematic as realistically i'd probably have to delay until after his op, meaning he'll be on his own for months and months......
Any advice?
I had no intention of getting him, but found out he was being released into the wild if he didn't find a home before last weekend!
Thanks
