Hi all, long time not posting on here although I do follow the Facebook group. Hope everyone and their bunnies are ok.
I'm after some advice re my little Hollie-bobs. We sadly lost Rascalchops last April and Hollie was beside herself (as were we) so we decided to adopt another bunny so she had a friend .... long story short she's now had 2 failed bonds and understandably the rescue don't want to try again as there is the possibility of injury. First bond failed as soon as they were put in the outside enclosure. Second bond failed after about a month.
Problem is, she's still sad and I don't know what to do. I've tried her as a house bunny but she hates it. I spend as much time as I can with her but I work full time so it's not long enough - she's on her own all day. She has the option of a run round the garden twice a day but if she does come out it's only for a few minutes then she goes back in the enclosure. She lives in an aviary style enclosure with several levels and she has plenty of toys.
Any ideas what I can do? I think she's very territorial but we changed the layout each time she went for bonding so that it was different when she got back. I just don't know whether to try bonding her one more time or try something different to keep her entertained. Any ideas? Tia xx
