So, I went to my local RSPCA today to look at a pair of rabbits.
I didn't feel they were the right ones for me and though the RSPCA had bonded them, they didn't really seem to be a strong couple and have very different needs from each other.
I was initially disappointed, but then looked at the others and have narrowed it down to the following:
A lovely doe lionhead 4/5 years old who doesn't like other rabbits so needs to be kept alone. (RSPCA have tried bonding her with several rabbits and it hasn't worked.)
A pair of lionheads 5 years old.
In both cases the rabbits seem quite calm. The pair are used to being handled. The single one has been grieving for a dead mate and not got over it, but was very happy for me to stroke her and twiddle her ears.
I just don't know which to choose because their personalities are the same and so are their ages. It's a case of do I have 1 or 2??
Please, experienced rabbit adopters: what do you think - solo or couple!? I want to make a decision before they get snapped up, but I want to make sure I make the right decision, however long it takes me!
Thanks in advance for your replies.
