I've been thinking about what we're going to do with regards to getting a companion for Ragnar. It's almost been a month since Poppy left and it's still so raw (I know everyone is probably sick of hearing me talk about it, I'm sorry!). Ragnar is still really happy, he gets lots of attention, I've started taking him in the garden and he just generally seems really well in himself and he will be even better (I hope) once he has moved downstairs next week when the dogs have gone home with my in-laws. I can't deny, the last few days I have been looking on rescue sites, I'm not sure if I'm ready though. I think I've been on a bit of an 'adopt don't shop' rampage, and making Ragnar the centre of my life right now, explaining about his beginning in life and the problem with breeders and pet shop buns. I'm not sure if I'm looking at rabbits because I feel like Ragnar needs a companion, if I genuinly feel like we should get another one, or just that I hate that there are bunnies out there that need homes. There is no way that I could even really consider getting another bunny until my husband is home, it wouldn't be fair on him because he needs to grieve. But I'm also worried that he will say no more, that Ragnar will be our last. I know he wants a dog, and I would love a dog but he needs to realise that he wont be the one looking after it 70% of the time as he'll either be in Scotland Monday-Friday or away for months at a time, so we would need to agree on a breed that suits us both and preferable one that would be able to get on with rabbits. I don't know. How long did you wait to get another bunny? If I wait too long is there a chance that Ragnar wont take to a new companion?
