I have 2 three month old rabbits, they are sisters. I bought them from a local breeder after trying the rspca with no luck. I didn't know about this forum at the time (found it as a result of googling do 2 female rabbits hump, because they were humping each other the first time they went into the run lol!) and now I feel really embarrassed and quite sad that I didn't get 2 rescue ones, having realised the barc have loads of rabbits Obviously we love these 2 to bits and wouldn't part with them but I really feel for the ones in rescue. The original hutch we had was too small and I have managed to buy 2 second hand double hutches that are each 5ft long, 2ft deep and 4ft high. They have been joined downstairs and each hutch has a ramp leading to upstairs.
i have several options:-
1: give my 2 girls this whole space along with the attached run.
2. join upstairs too giving a me 2 10ft x2ftx2ft hutches and remove ramps. and rehome a pair of rabbits. but it would be difficult to provide the upstairs pair attached run access.
3. Split the 2 hutches giving 2 5ftx2ftx2ft double hutches and rehome a pair into one. But then the length isn't the 6ft ideal.
4. Rehome one or more and try a group in the whole setup.
I don't mind buying another run if needs be.
I haven't had more than one rabbit at a time before my latest pair, so although I have lots of rabbit experience including a very aggressive rex I haven't had any experience of a group before...
Any ideas on what I should do?
My 2 girls are vaccinated but not spayed as yet although my vet said he could do anytime due to their size. They are still in my original hutch because I've been disinfecting the new ones!
Sorry to go on, I could have probably said this in half the space!
