Feel sorry for Bertie now being a single bun.

As most of you know I got a beautiful mini lop from a rescue we called Molly.. We were bonding her with Bertie our housebun.
We had Molly spayed and she died 9 days after her spaying :( she had an infection right through her :cry: :cry:
I also now have my newly bonded pair that live outside in a poppy house and nice big enclosure. I see them together and think should I get a female bun for bertie to join him in the house....I put bertie in the outdoor run today he enjoyed himself but not like Fudge and Furby they have great fun.
I did try to bond Bertie and Molly before she was spayed and it ended up in a fight. It was my own fault I was silly to bond before she was spayed.
Bertie is a very spoilt boy and treated like a baby :lol: I am at home with him most of the time so he has lots of fuss and attention.
Do you think I should now leave him as a single housebun ?

Personally I would get a second bun but i think that would be for me as much as for the other bun! :lol: You can offer him so much, but are you really prepared to groom him? including the inside of his ears? :lol: Honestly, you have to do whats best for you and what you can cope with. some people can't cope with more than 1 bun,others have 100's! but there are sooooooooooooo many lovely buns looking for homes.... enjoy your decision, whatever it is! x Jess
 
If you can manage the potential vets bill for another bun, I'd definitely look for a lovely girlie for Bertie :love: :love:

(it's soooo much easier to make these decisions for other people :lol: :lol: )
 
Not sure if you've already tried this, but could you attempt to bond all three and they could live together outside?

If that isn't possible, I think if you can afford it, I would personally get another bun. It will keep her company and makes us humans feel less guilty! :lol:
 
:lol: :lol: I've met Bertie, and he's definitely an indoorsy mummy's boy!!! :lol: There must be a healthy, spayed female languishing in a rescue somewhere....just waiting for that special man to come along... :wink:
