:wave:Hi, We had our 2 yeah and 4 month old female dutch rabbit spayed (had to she kept rubbing herself on my arm and leg like a male dog, and kept buildings nests) a few weeks back, and she's now fully back to her normal self, which is great.
We are thinking of getting her another rabbit companion, as she's very affectionate and enjoys cuddles, so we think it would be good for her having someone with her to groom and cuddle up to. However I am aware not every bonding goes well, so I am just trying to make sure I do all I can to ensure it will go smooth (by the way, there is unfortunately no neutral space we can introduce them, since our little girl has the run of the house really).
So my main questions are, Is there a certain breed that goes best with dutch rabbits, and would it be best to go for a male companion? Also would we be able to have the new rabbit with her in her hutch over night, once they are bonded, or would we need a new hutch for the two together, her current one is large enough it could fit another one in.
Thanks, Fred
