I have a instagram that's pretty much just rabbit stuff
Photos of Robin and stuff I like or have collected that are rabbit related.

Well today I got attacked by someone who thinks I'm selfish and cruel for having a single rabbit :(

I've only ever kept one male at a time, he's free to come and go from any downstairs room as he pleases.
Apart from when he is having a sleep in his favourite spot he is with me and fergie our dog most of the day .

I don't think he's lonely but my anxiety has me over thinking everything.

No I am sure he is just fine with you. He is one of the lucky ones.

No one knows your circumstances and you do not have to answer to anyone.

We support you and Robin here :wave:
 
Thank you.. no real circumstances, I love giant breeds and they take up alot of room.
I have always spend alot of one to one time with my bunnies and am training Robin to come to his name and to jump up .

Vets fees are one thing, having one means I can afford vets visits easier

Please don't let it worry you. These trolls are pathetic. I've kept bunnies for over 30 years. I've kept loads of single bunnies, outside and inside. Opera was a single bun who hated other buns. Mikado was a lovely gentle bunny, but not quite 'normal' and he was picked on by every other bunny I tried to introduce. Alice lived indoors because she was an only rabbit, she was happy and spoiled. She loved custard creams. Jessie my wildie
was an only bun. Every belgian hare lived alone. I think bunnies who are loved and enriched can be perfectly happy living alone. I think it's only been in the past 10 years that I have even considered having pairs of buns. Rescues haven't always put pairs together for adoption. One day your troll will come a cropper. I watched a programme on tv about a celebrity who was trolled. She had a team of IT experts who traced a troll. When she found out who he was, she saw that he was just a 'normal* family man , he hadn't even realised the upset he was causing. He juset did it for something to do. Bl**dy idiot. The programme was called, Celeb Trolls: We're Coming to Get You

How horrible people can be always shocks me. It so easy to make judgments and nasty comments on these social things. I dont know how someone can even say a word without first knowing circumstances and reasons, and even then their is always a polite and kind way of "advising". You know you love your bun and know whats best for him, try no let the nasty people get to you.
 
Don't let it get to you. I have a single bun, having him on his own means I can dedicate all my time, affection and attention to him. We spend nearly all our time together, he comes when he is called and loves cuddles/giving me kisses. I am pretty sure he thinks I am a bunny too!

I am sure your bun gets all the love and attention!
 
Just ignore them or block them.My two bridge buns were totally house rabbits.My niece brought home Rio as a "surprise".He was on his own for two years.She then brought home another surprise.A girl called Cleo.Luckily they bonded easily.Rio was fine on his own,free run of the house and totally spoiled.
 
Sounds like he's a very spoilt bunny to me like a lot of rabbits on here :) I have a single rabbit and she's been ill so I couldn't afford two rabbits or I would worry about them fighting when I was at work and coming home to wounds. I wouldn't be able to have two rabbits separately as she has the run of downstairs. I asked my specialist once if he thought it was cruel and he said no, she looks at you as her friend and also he would worry that she would get dominated as she's very friendly. So he thinks single rabbits are fine.

I think it's different if you get them together but single rabbits are used to being on their own. I do think it's different if they are housed outside though as they don't have the same amount of company so I do think two for outside!
 
I agree, ignore them ! I lost my lovely Toffee 2 months ago, he lived indoors, separated but side by side with his sister for 3 years. Their bond broke down after Treacle was spayed, and despite numerous attempts to rebond, they fought like crazy every time together. Now Treacle is on her own, it's like she's really come out of her shell, she seems happier, playful and loves my company, I have no intention of getting another bun. Don't worry, your lad sounds happy and loved, he's a lucky chap :D
 
He's definitely spoilt . I'm sat outside swinging away and it's only 6c because he wouldn't explore the garden unless I came with him :D
 
I agree with everyone else.
You know your bun and the fact you have insta just for bunny shows how much your world revolved around him xx

Don't normally comment on forums, but having read your post felt I needed to comment. Robin is happy your happy. That's is all that ever matters. We had something similar for taking in a single rescue bun who had been in and out and swapped between rescues for eight years, she was a fiesty madame, rescue bonds failed, she didn't want to know. We already had a bun, we didn't want to bond them but they could see one another in the kitchen. We got bullied online for taking a single bun instead of letting her stay in rescue and be bonded. I was so upset, my much better half was fuming. The rescue were happy because she finally had a home. It took her one hour to settle in. Milly was eight when we got her and has just passed away in August - grand old aged of 16. You know what eight years later our fiesty girl has taught me more about how to stick up for my self than any person could ever do. It doesn't matter what anybody thinks its you and Robin, this person can get nibbled, you carry on posting on your instagram.
 
Wow Jettychops (love the name BTW) what a fantastic age for a bun! I've never heard of an older one - anyone else got/had a very old bunny?
 
Thanks for reply jettychops I appreciate that you understand how upsetting it is having been through it yourself.

Your molly certainly sounds like she had a long happy life with you.
