I rescued two buns over 2 years ago a neutered male and an uneutered female. The male was quarter of the size of the female and seemed very thin and dominated by the female.She was very greedy and we now know she was eating the bulk of food.
Nearly a year ago we had to have her put to sleep, the male bun who was always friendly and litter tray trained seemed to thrive after she had gone which we found very odd. He had doubled in size and has a beautiful coat and is even friendlier.
I put two soft toys in his hutch and he has two snuggle pads at night to keep him warm.
He is now over 7 yrs old.
I let him into one room of the house most days as he is so clean and can go back to his enclosure himself at any time but cannot have him inside as I have a bad allergy to animal fur:evil:
He seems happier than he was when they were a pair but I still feel guilty that he is on his own. I am disabled and struggle to do the physical side of looking after bun so I will not be getting any more buns and because of his age I don't feel I can get another bun to see if they will bond in case I get left with a young bun.
I know you are all going to tell me it is cruel to keep him on his own. He is very spoilt because I am trying to give him the best I can but anyone any advice for keeping a lone bun other than get another one!!!!!!!!!
