Silky needs a friend

I have a conundrum. My rex girl silky misses her dylan badly, as badly as me!

But Im not sure what to do. My heart says heinz 57 rescue boy for her but I would dearly love another big snuggly thug. But, Dylan was always ill within 2 weeks of moving in with me he had mites, a week later an ear infection for 3 weeks, then skin myxi, more mites 6 months after, then had an overeaction to a hutch cleaning spray (silky was fine) then snuffles he then managed a year and a half before getting EC. I do not ever want to go through all that worry and heartache again and so I am thinking pedigree bunnies are not the way to go.

I have a 2mx2m summerhouse on legs with the underneath made into a run and a ramp leading down. I have wondered about a french lop but am concerned with a full time job and a dog whether I am able to give a big bunny enough attention and maybe I should get a rabbit silky likes; size irrelevant.

moving them indoors is out. Tried it with Dylan he thought littertrays were optional and silky chewed through two computer modems and wrecked a futon and a carpet. And now I have a cocker spaniel who likes to chase little rabbits (ok with big ones though).

Whats best? Any ideas?
 
i would look at both recue centres and getting a pedigree from a breeder or shop, i think it all depends on the bunny, i think when you see the right bunny you will just know and hopefully he will be happy and not get ill:wave:
 
There are so many on rabbit rehome, all shapes and sizes! Im sure if you trawl through the hundreds on there you will fall for one of the gorgeous boys :D

Their housing sounds cool by the way! If they are to live together I wouldn't worry about not spending enough time with them as they will have each other!
 
If you want something big I would go for a french lop (unless you think one would overwhelm Silky!!! :D) they are gorgeous buns I'm speaking from just a pet owners view not a technical person (if buns can ever be technical!!! :? :lol:) Good luck with finding her a friend

Silky is very timid but managed to live with Dylan a 5kg thug (not quite as big as a frenchie but almost there) I think their love was one way rather a lot (she loved him he tolerated her and he enjoyed the head licking benefits). I just assumed a boy would mean they would get on rather than fight.
