Didn't really know what the title of this thread should be :lol: I've been in this position twice before, once I kept the 3rd rabbit as a single house rabbit and the second time I bonded a trio which broke down after a couple of months.
As some of you know 2 of my hand reared baby's have a lovely home to go to this weekend. I am struggling with the remaining girl though, she is still advertised but I am getting no interest or people who don't spay/vaccinate or won't consider improving their accommodation which is too small. She has outgrown the dog crate she was in and I have used all the pen panels I have for the boys' set up. So she is free range in our bedroom, she's litter trained, binky's around and flops out on the bed with us on an evening so it's very difficult not to get attached to her
I don't think I would try a trio again, although I think having 2 girls and 1 boy would have better chances than the 2 males in my previous trio. Our bedroom is very big so plenty of room for a bunny (or 2!) but it wasn't really our plan to have 4 rabbits! But then it's not fair for me to keep her as a single, I'm sure she would have a partner at some point in the future but some one else may be able to offer her a better home in the mean time if I keep her advertised. But the longer she is with us the more we love her!
I put a lot of effort into hand rearing them I want them to have the best lives, I know I can't control this and I understand peoples circumstances change but I would hate for them to be unwanted or not cared for as they should. But is it fair for me to keep a single rabbit?
