Hi all
We lost our very brave little bunny Ellie 10 days ago, she went in for a dental, came through the other side but deteriorated after recovery She would only have been 4 next week and we miss her soo much, she's been through a fair bit in her little life and she was such a sweetie.
My question is about a new bun for Bandit. He's doing ok, but obviously missing Ellie. The boarding place that we use has contacts at their local rescue and has told me of a 2 year old Giant that is looking for a home, she arrived on Sunday. Now Bandit is a :evil: ...he's a BARC bunny, say no more :lol: The bond with him and Ellie took me literally months so the thought of another bond makes me feel sick but I know it has to be done. My boarding friend thinks he'd definitely bond easiest with a giant because of their calm nature but I know nothing about them. I've always secretly wanted one to be fair, but was more than happy with the two I had..but now it's come to this I'm just after advice really.
Bandit is only a medium sized bunny, they live in our kitchen, free range 24/7. I'm worried about tripping over a big bunny, but I'm assured they don't charge around like smaller buns and sleep a lot of the time. Bandit's a greedy little chap so how does that work out food wise...he's VERY food orientated, that's where the fights would break out, he always chased and tried to nip Ellie whenever he knew there was a chance of anything to eat..but is every bond different? Is this always going to be the case? I just need reassurance really..my head is a shed, I miss my little girl so much but want to do whatever is best for Bandit now. Are giant bonds really easier? How much room do they need? Oh my word and the moults??! I think we're going to meet her on Saturday so I'd really like to be prepared just in case we do all fall in love with her and want to bring her back there and then!!
Any help or advice would be gratefully received. Thankyou x
