Hello We have just got a new addition to our family - an eight week old black lionheaded baby rabbit called Black Jack. He came from someone in my sons year 2 class and they own the mum and the dad which have since had another litter (their last). Jack has been very well handled and at the moment is in an indoor cage in the dining room so hes out of the cold wind at the moment and can have lots of love and attention. My children and I left my marital home last year due to domestic violence and the children's 10yr old white netherland dwarf rabbit called Billy had to be left there, and since then my ex husband will not let us take the rabbit to where we now live 200 miles away. So the only time the children get to see their pet is on access visits about once a month. Billy is being very well cared for by my ex and is healthy and happy but the children really missed him hence getting a bunny up here. I bought Billy from the National Rabbit Fancy at the NEC and he still wears his breeders ring. Black Jack will eventually move outside in this rabbit house/run which we had already:
and this is Billy the 10yr old bun who weve had to leave behind:
My question is: when we got Billy he was not very friendly towards other rabbits so hes always been on his own, but do we get another bunny to keep Jack company - maybe from the other litter that his parents have had would it be too late to give him a companion? Would that rabbithouse be big enough for two mini lionheads (his parents are about netherland dwarf sized? its nearly three meters long by 88cm wide.
