well its a wee little black male lion head and he is adorble... but i refrained from gettin him becuz i was too worried tht theyd fight...plus i no it takes a good 2 weeks for neutering to take affect...and he was only 8 weeks so he still wasnt old enough...never mind...maybe ill take a trip to rspca
ooo i guess wht i cud do...is get a male neuterd...bring him home to live seperately...and while she has the freedom of the garden...he can go in the run...so she can see him...and sniff him but not get to him...she doesnt strike me as an aggressive bunny...but then again..u never know with rabbits...as shes a dutch which are sed to make good foster mothers...do u think they r better suited to bnding...as they must hav a certain acceptence in their genes...or am i reading into it a wee bit to much haha...i guess u cnt really tell
Yeah I agree, if you go to the main rabbit rehome site, you will find hundreds of already neutered males - then you won't have to wait for ages before introducing them! Many rescue centres will also let you take your bunny along and do the bonding there, which would save you the stress of trying to do that, especially as you have a female bunny, who is more likely to be territorial around your house. Good luck!
...how does tht work then? how do they pair them at rabbits homes...do they just throw her in with a male and hope they get along or wht? plus im worried tht once she gets a partner...she wont want to be as close to me? happend with my piggies....u tink tht will happend? :roll:
If you are looking to get a bunny companion for your rabbit contact some local rescue centres and find one which is happy to pair up your rabbit with one of theirs, check also that there are a few suitors for your bunny which you feel may be suitable for her.
Go to the rescue centre with your rabbit and let them pair up your rabbit with one of theirs. They will introduce your bun to one of theirs on 'neutral territory'. Some may require you to leave your bun over night others may not depending on how they are getting on. Rescues who are experienced in pairing up know what to do when different situations arrise and are happy to swap the pairing up bun for another one if things don't work out and most will do so after they are taken home if things don't work out ... this support you are unlikley to get if you got your future buns partner from a pet shop.

http://www.rabbitrehome.org.uk/centres.asp#Nottinghamshire there are quite a few rescues around your area, whilst the rabbits should form agood bond together, if you spend lots of time with them you will gets lots of enjoyment watching them interact together.
