If it were me and I were trying to make the best of the bad situation, and some will possibly disagree but that's inevitable , I would forget the size of the hutch in the short term. Yes it's very small, but as a *short term* solution for what is still a small bunny it's not going to be the end of the world. We had to keep Rosie in a 4ft hutch post-spay and while it wasn't ideal, I knew that long term she'd had an 8 x 6 shed and a large garden to run around it so I think it evens out.
I would then concentrate all of my efforts on scraping together the money to get them castrated. Preferably both at once so you've not got a staggered healing time but separately if necessary. Once healed, I would then rebond which means they could both go in the bigger hutch and then I'd sort the vaccinations.
Rehoming one isn't really a solution because then you still have a lone rabbit which is not ideal. Better to have a short term "not ideal" hutch than a long term issue of loneliness IMO.
I agree with this. Until I found this forum in the summer, I had one bunny in a 3ft indoor cage I didn't know any better. Now I have four bunnies - 1 pair & 2 singles which I am intending to bond and all 4 are going upstairs to free range in my second bedroom as soon as I can get it sorted out.
You didn't know and now you've been thrown in at the deep end and are having to deal with it. In my opinion, you love these rabbits and want to improve their lives as soon as you are able and so that makes you a better owner than some people put there.
