I have just had an email from the breeder of the bun I am getting from her to ask if I would be interested on taking on the mum as she is getting very stressed and will no longer be having any litters. This girl is gorgeous sooooo pretty with a lovely temperament. BUT I just dont think I can at the moment and I feel very torn about what to do. I considered breeding a while back and this is one the reasons I decided against it, I feel a bit like she is no longer useful and so being passed on and I was under the impression that these were loving pets not breeding machines- how wrong was I.
Heres the thing, I am currently looking for a nice 6x2x2 hutch with run for my little boy, I know exactly how much vets fees are going to be and I know that I can afford this and there will be no problem. If I take on mum too, its another 6x2x2 hutch for her, cost for her to be spayed, I know this isnt that much extra but I just dont think I can afford it at the moment.
I have said on another thread that want to ideally get my little boy, neuter him get him settled etc then perhaps bond him with a speyed female from rescue. (I have now found a rescue which is literally on the same estate as me which I never knew existed)!!
I just dont know what to do, my husband has said no that I havent kept rabbits for nearly 3 years while I was pregnant and had my daughter and that I should take step at a time, but I feel bad for my boys mum!!
Big siiigggghhh!!!!
