Get your boy neutered if not already done and contact your nearest rescue to find him a wifey bun.
Rabbits need company, they are social animals. A breeder telling you they should live alone makes me think that person isn't a very good breeder at all if she/he doesn't know about the animals they are breeding
But then I dislike all breeders so :evil:

I would have him neutered if not already done so and find a spayed female in a rescue to bond him with :thumb: rabbits are much happier with company

Hi there!
Most bunnies like company of their own kind. A little girl bunny for company is well worth considering. However, he would need to be neutered first. From my bunnies, at 4 months they both started to display territorial behaviour, spraying things and doing things that bunnies do and are not for polite conversation. Neutering stops all this. Bunnies can fight when first introduced but if you find a good local rescue, some are willing to help with the bonding process! Rescue bunnies have the added bonus of already being 'done' so no additional costs
Hope this helps and welcome to the forum

definitely get your bunny a companion
If you look around the forum you'll see most of us have rabbits happily living in pairs or groups. They are territorial but if they're neutered/spayed and bonded properly they're much happier living with another rabbit than on their own.
Spaying and neutering is expensive, but if you get your rabbit a friend from a rescue she'll come already spayed. Luckily neutering is the cheaper of the two

Thank you, I feel so bad now :-( I thought I had done my home work and got advice and done the right thing by him!!
Vet won't neuter him yet so what do I do, wait to get a friend or get a friend but separate them for now ?

If he's 4 months now, it wont be long before you can neuter him. Dont feel bad! I hadnt got a clue when i first got my bunny Iggy! You could start to look around for a suitable friend which could take a little while and have something lined up for when he is neutered and recovered?

I would wait to get him neutered first and then start looking for a friend in rescue

No he is an outdoor bunny but I have converted the shed for him so he has lots of room

I dont know about northamptonshire but I used to live in leicestershire about Hunnybunnies rescue was one my vets recommended when we were looking for a friend for Ig a few years ago. They can also help with the bonding too i think. I didnt rescue from them but have heard good things

It's not much longer he has to wait, the main thing is he will eventually have someone. I'm sure he's still happy in his shed in the meantime, at least he has plenty of room

There might be other places near you but I would highly recommend Rabbit Residence http://www.rabbitresidence.org.uk
They have lots of bunnies needing new homes and can bond your bunny with a new friend for you
