Hi everyone
My little wild bunny is 12 weeks old this week. I want to eventually bond her with another bunny (or two!) and move them outside in a shed/run.
Obviously she can't be spayed until 5 (?) months so she won't (i presume) be able to bond with another bunny until after this. I don't want to move her outside on her own (shes still so tiny she'd be terrified) so will have to keep her inside for a few more months.
I am getting confused over what I should do re bonding. Should I bond her with another wild bunny (animals in need near me apparently have some wild babies) or a domestic bunny (obviously small breed as I've read wild bunnies are smaller than domestics?).
If I do aquire another wild bunny my thought would be to get one now while its still young so it gets used to me first and forms a bond rather than it being much older and 'wild'. not that I begrudge it being wild of course, but I have a lovely bond with spudsey my wild bunny she even licks my neck/nose/hands etc and sits on me for ages.
help!!!
