In a bit of a dilema, I've been putting off posting as I feel it would make me more inclined to get him but I'm thinking about him enough already so thought I'd look for some advice.
A 'friend' was giving her rabbit away as he 'attacked' his friend. Both unneutered boys no surprise really! I advised her to neuter them etc but she wasn't having any of it so advised her how to advertise so he gets a better chance at getting a good home (eg not as a child's pet etc) but he was just advertised on Facebook with little description. Anyway she asked the local p@h if they'd take him in the adoption bit and after a while they have. This was on 11th April and yes still there. I know I shouldn't go in on his little description it says he's different and needs extra care, I asked about him today and was told he attacked his friend so can't be rehomed with another rabbit, I tried to say it was probably because he wasn't neutered etc but he said that's what they've been told so have to advise. Was also told he isn't very nice, probably because he's stuck in a small space etc!! He's a lean/biggish rabbit too.
I just feel a pull towards him and have never regretted anything I've felt 'pulled' towards but I know there's endless rabbits needing homes and I can't feel like this for every one, and would feel guilty as if I felt in a position to get another rabbit it should be a rescue. But this individual is still just as in need as any other..
I don't think I could risk a trio with beano and Gordon as I'd be devastated if either of them ended up alone or the dynamics changed and I felt one of them was left out.
We're planning on moving into a house next year (currently live in a flat) and if it was this year we moved I would take him as it would be easier to keep them separate in a house but obviously in a flat they'd sense each other and wouldn't want that to cause risk. I did keep Boris separate but they could smell each other and didn't have issues with that.. We believe we could afford another rabbit but I just don't want to risk anything bad happening or feeling guilty he's not from a rescue. Just keep thinking about him needed to let it all out!
