I am seriously debating the idea of bonding all 6 of my existing bunnies together to form a group. Now I know...this might sound crazy...but let me talk you through my thought processes...:lol::shock:
1) Bear is currently on his own after losing Dolly. I don't want to gain any more rabbits but also don't want him to be by himself. I also have Buttons, currently on her own, but was due to be bonded to Pete and Greyie (after they lost Henryk last year). So I have to bunnies that are single at the moment. Bear is a frenchie...Buttons is netherland dwarf size. Now I know that size doesn't really matter but Bear is quiet a dominant character, and knowing him very well, feel he would thrive on companionship but dominate one particularly smaller companion.
2) This leads me onto thinking that Bear could be bonded to Buttons, Greyie and Pete. All very small bunnies (a stark contrast to Bear in size). So three small and one large.
3) If I were to bring in Adam and Leo too (very fluffy but small/medium lion heads) then hubby has agreed to upgrade the current housing to a brand new shed which all 6 would live in....giving them access to the shed and entire secure patio area. This would mean that ALL of my current rabbits would have access to a much larger area to run, hop and play constantly. At the moment it has been just the french lops (Dolly and Bear) that have had all this privilege. The shed would be fitted out with hides, tunnels, platforms and ramps to give the rabbits space to 'get away' from each other if they so wish.
Am I mad in thinking about these plans? I keep swaying :lol::lol::lol:
