Young Bun
So a couple of months ago I took on a rabbit who I rescued from Gumtree, she didn't have the best home so I really wanted to help her. Originally my plan was to get her, make sure she was healthy and spayed and then re-home her. Only one problem....I completely bonded to her more than I have with my other two rabbits, and now the thought of having to let her go somewhere else is just so upsetting. She is the friendliest of my three rabbits, and so loves to be with me and have attention.
She was spayed a few weeks ago after becoming around six months old and that all went well. I was considering the possibility of me keeping her and the only way I can see that working for her sake and well being is if I could bond her to my current pair (a male and female, bonded since February ish).
However, now I'm having second thoughts. I've heard about how hard it is to bond a trio and all I have ever done is bond my two which went reasonably smoothly. I've also heard that during bonding my pair may even fall out with each other and not get along, and that even as a trio they may not all be as happy as they would be in separate pairs.
Does anyone have any further advice for me? I so love this little bunny but if I don't try and bond her I'll have to re-home her which will be really hard but I know I need to do what is best for her because it wouldn't be fair on her for her to have to live alone.
Here is my bonded pair...
