Hello,
I'm desperate for some advice. Is there any way to tell if a rabbit is happy alone? I had a doe and a buck from the same family but unfortunately I lost my doe. I did get another female but unfortunately I lost her too. I honestly don't know what happened. She was eating, drinking and playing fine. She went in her run and within an hour she passed. She was vaccinated and had all her health checks. I don't think I'm meant to have females. It's been very upsetting. My buck didn't seem overly interested in her, unless it's because he couldn't get to her. She wasn't spayed. There aren't any obvious signs that he's unhappy, he seems to like his own company- he doesn't like human attention either. But I'm worried that he's lonely. Are there any signs of loneliness I should look for?
Also I found a little lop in need of a home. My mum was with me and we just couldn't stop watching him, so cute!! I brought him home today and he's been hiding and stomping at me. I figure it's because of his new surroundings, he's never had a 'proper' home. I'm giving him time and space to adapt (I hope he settles!) I'd love to know if anyone thinks I could bond them? (once neutered).
I'm open to all advice! I have spent so much time researching and most people say rabbits need a mate but my buck never seems bothered by other rabbits. Thank you x
