My Raff is nearly 7 years old and last year we sadly lost his wife Molly to a bad jaw abscess, since then he been on his own... I wondered if it would be kinder to leave him on his own, or to get a rescue older bun later this year? What do you think? He does chat with my others, but doesnt share a cage with them....

I don't think he is too old, he may live for another 5 or more years yet. If it were me I would definitely consider a partner.

Never too old!! I just bonded my new 8 year old lady in with one of my pairs and it has given her a new lease of life - she is so happy, and I'm so pleased I did it

I've got a couple of single bunnies who live next door to each other and seem very happy as neighbours - I think they are OK living alone if there's other rabbits around for company
