DwarfBuns
Warren Scout
I'm still going back & forth over the bonding of Niles. I keep looking at him & looking through photos of him & Frasier. He doesn't seem unhappy.. In fact he's been quite relaxed the last couple of weeks while in his cage, but then I think part of that is down to the heat. He's out having a 'run' at the moment, he's had a bit of a play, but mostly he's just sitting in the corner He does sometimes binky, so he's not miserable.. But I just see photos of him & Frasier before Frasier passed away & it makes me so sad to see him alone.
I still don't know what's best to do. I am terrified that I will end up losing him too.. Could be completely irrational! Terrified that the stress of bonding might put him into stasis or something. Stasis was awful with Frasier & it broke my heart when he died. It felt like it was completely my fault. That I failed as his bunny mum :'( I want to do what's best for Niles.. But I don't know what that is! I just wish I could ask him He's a grumpy bun, like his brother, so he's not massively fond of being held - so it's not like he's getting human attention & the dog is terrified of him! So he's not got any friends. I can only spend so much time with him a day.. He's alone for the rest of it. He is in the kitchen so he gets plenty of socialisation with me & my husband, but it's no substitute is it?
Here are some photos of my two boys when Frasier was still with us:
