Hi all
My first time here so go easy on me.
We have a male rabbit just over a year old that my daughter absolutely idolises.
My other half has decided she now wants one. My other half is just as keen on my daughters rabbit ( in fact when daughter is at school she has him out most of the time).
My other half has now decided she wants one of her own.
So really I'm after some advice.
We got the rabbit last Sept. We had him neutered in March, ( he wasn't showing aggression or anything, I just didn't want our rabbit creating anymore bunnies when there are too many un homed ones already).
Obviously he is used to having everything his own way.
If we introduce another rabbit he ain't gonna be a happy bunny (excuse the pun)
My other half would like a doe.
How would I go about introducing them? should I try and get a neutered fem ( if she not neutered when I get her she soon will be ). The rabbit lives in a 5ft hutch at night and has a 6 x 4 run with a box hutch to run about in during the day.
I have a spare hutch which I can put the new arrival in, so at least at night they'll live apart.
Any ideas / comments would be greatly appreciated.
Please note, if anyone thinks it's a bad idea please say so. At the end of the day the rabbits welfare comes first.
thanks
