It's been a while since I've posted on here. I've got a 9 year old neutered male who lost his partner last year. I got a new girl in May. I've been trying to get them to bond after leaving them side by side for a couple of weeks. Yesterday they had a massive fight so I don't think they will ever get on. I found bonding stressful and I've been very stressed at work as it is. I don't think I can take any more stress right now. I have decided I need to end the cycle of getting rabbits and that Chuckles really should be the last rabbit I have but I don't want him to be lonely. At the same time he doesn't get on with the female I've got and the rescue don't have any others at the moment. I'm in a bit of a dilemma really. Any advice?

It might be worth asking the rescue if they would consider trying to bond for you. If the two were together side-by-side for a couple of weeks, was there a period after that when they got along OK before the fight, or did the fight occur as soon as they were put together?
Other options are to try another male, as Shimmer said. Sometimes boys get along OK together. Or else just leave him as a single house rabbit.

Is she spayed? How long ago?
Were the cats around during the bonding?
