Hi all,
As some of you know, I am looking for a female rabbit to bond with my almost 6 month old neutered boy Bobby. My plan was to rescue an already neutered doe because I would like to start the bonding process straight away really and not have to wait for a baby to grow up and get fixed etc. So i went to my local SPCA here in Dublin and there were 2 doe's. I instantly fell inlove with one of them. She is a harlequin dutch and she looked really sweet and quite similar to my blue dutch Poppy. So feeling really excited I went to enquire and the guy who looks after small animals pretty much told me she could be any age and they had no history for her only that she was found and brought in and neutered. This panicked me abit as I really like to know the age of my buns and if she is old I doubt her tolerance for my super energetic lionlop will be great. I could be wrong.
So I left that day feeling pretty disappointed and I have been thinking about this little girl ever since and have even named her Rosie in my head. I have been online every day checking to see if anyone is looking to re-home female bunnies because I would be willing to pay for the neuter straight away but most rabbits that are being re-homed are male. So lastnight I saw an ad for a really adorable little lionhead and I am going to see her on Sunday but my only reservation about this is trying to keep both her and bobby seperate for the next few months until she gets neutered and the idea of it has me kind of stressed out.
My other option and I think it could be my best bet is to go to a small animal rescue outside of Dublin where they have a few little does at the mo ranging in age from 4months to 18 months that i only heard about yest after I had reserved the baby lionhead.
Im so confused as to what road to go down. I really like Rosie but would it always be at the back of my mind that she is old and my time with her will be short lived.
