So I adopted Charlie in May and Bobby in July, the plan was to try and bond them. They are both male so was always going to be a long shot but Bobby has alot of health issues and has already been looking for a home for months so I figured it was worth a try.
The plan was if things wouldn't work out he would go back to the rescue, I'm now 2 failed attempts at bonding in, I am going to get his teeth checked when the experienced vet is in on Friday just encase the bond breaking down is linked to dental issues like it was the first time but it's only been 5 weeks.
If that fails I'm not sure what's best for Bobby, obviously now he's here in attached to him and don't want him to go back but I'll need to adopt a female for Charlie so that would be 3 rabbits.
If Bobby stays he would need to live in the spare bedroom, which is fine in theory but realistically he won't get as much time and attention as the down stairs Bunnys would. Then there's the issue of getting him a girlfriend or keeping him alone, alone he might get lonley but tbf he seems pretty content with him own company. If I got a GF then I run the risk of the bond not working then I'm back to having another rabbit to return. If the bond does work great but I've still them got 4 rabbits and the down stairs rabbits will always get more attention because they are in the everyday rooms.
However Bobby is old, he's got bad eyes, bad ears, deaf, arthritis that needs daily medication he was already waiting ages for a home, how much longer woild he be waiting? Maybe a less than perfect life is better than being back in rescue and is still a million times better than the life he had before he was seized, but what if they could find him a home and he could spend however many years he's got left happily with a wife?
What would you do?
