some of you may know i rescued benji and oscar from freecycle from some person who decided to give them away to free to just about anybody! i managed to persude the woman to choose me with experience in having a rabbit and i could give them a good home or find them a nice home.
as soon as i saw benji bun and oscar piggie (who were then kept together) i fell in love with them both. benji was being fed guinea pig food, never given hay or nails never trimmed. nor was he ever vaccinated because the owner didnt realise they needed to be.
since benji and harvey managed to get each other and a huge scrap happened they are always fighting. i dont let them together no wayyy but when harvey has free time in the garden with me following him about he goes nuts when he can smell benji and runs upto the hutch and they start scratting through the bars.
benji can have free time in garden without getting to harvey because harvey is in the shed.
im seriously thinking now i may have to go back to my orginal plan and rehome benji to a new home and try and get past the fact i fell in love with him. he is a gorgous bun and i am attached to him but is it for the best to rehome him?(would get him neutered before doing so) ive tried standing infront of the hutches so harvey cant get to benji but cas i have a huge garden i have to follow harvey if he goes out of sight. this is ususally when he sprints over to benjis hutch and go crazy at each other.
i dont think its fair on either of them and i was hoping maybe i could bond when both neutered but with this violent past between them will that ever happen?
i dont know what to do for the best! i feel im selfish for wanting to keep him because i love him loads but i feel maybe it would be fairer to have him go to another home when he wont have to fight with another rabbit.
it hurts like mad even considering it and i just dont know what to do. im glad i helped him, got him eating proper food and onto hay, sorted his vacs and nails etc and hes happier without oscar around him.
if anyone was in my situation what would you do?!
