Hello,
I have had my beautiful male French lop for 2 months now and have just got him neutered. I am looking to bond him with a female now he is neutered. I am looking for a bit of advice on the best way to go about this.
The breeder we got Leon from has just had another litter and we could get a little girl from there to bond him with from end of August. However I am worried about forcing him with another bunny he may not get along with so was also looking at going to an adoption centre for a "bunny date". The breeder says in her experience bonding with a baby girl will be easier. What is usually the best route to go down?
Couple of other points/questions... Leon is an indoor bun with free roam (we are in the process of bunny proofing the garden so he can claim there too!) and we plan to do the same with his girlfriend. My boyfriend is worried getting a bunny from a rescue centre may not be litter trained and it is harder to do when they are older. Secondly if we did got to a rescue centre, French lops are in short supply so would it be ok to bond him with another smaller breed? He is a chunky French lop, currently around 3.5kg and is just under 4 months so I think he will grow pretty big!
Would really appreciate any advice on the best route to go down to bond Leon and make him a happier bun!
Thanks,
Lesley
