I have posted before about this, but it was a few weeks ago now.
My friend knows someone who has baby rabbits, about 8 weeks old, maybe 9.
She has rehomed some of them, but still has 7 or 8 to rehome. If she can't find homes for them she will give them to rescue.
I really am tempted to give two a home. I can't bear the thought of them going to rescue when I could give them a home (2 anyway!).
I already have two grown up buns, apparently they are approx 5 years old. I rescued these two from a friend who was moving. They have not been neutered and are two females. They live in a shed.
If I do get the 2 babies, I will get them neutered as soon as I can.
Would it be ok for me to put the new buns in a hutch in the shed, so they are separate from my 2, but they can still see each other? Or will they need to be kept totally apart till such time I might be able to bond as a foursome???
My heart is telling me to adopt 2 babies, but there is something telling me to leave well alone.
I don't know if it's the fact that I haven't even got a hutch yet...will get one on tuesday if I decide to get them.
Also...she is asking £15 each for them, she started at £20 but cuz she couldn't rehome them, she has dropped the price.
I am gonna tell her I will pay £25 for the pair...I disagree in the fact that she has bred these buns, it appears she only did it for money. Which makes me feel really sad for the buns, and in a way resentful about paying £15 each...if she is serious about giving them to a good home, surely she should accpet my offer and be glad she has rehomed 2 of them.
I am so mixed up....I don't know what to do for the best. Will it be unfair on my two that I alreayd have to bring 2 babies into the equation???
