JessieandFaith
Young Bun
I'm at a loss I really am and sat in tears not knowing what to do for the best. I bought my bunnies and I expected them to live together and that would be that. Had I known they would need to be neutered to live together I would have only purchased the one. I'm mad at the previous owner (who is an experienced rabbit owner) for failing to tell me this and mad at myself for not knowing.
Now I'm in a dilemma. Faith is in a lovely big chicken coop lots of space to run and plenty of room to stand up in the hutch. When she had babies (unfortunately didn't survive) Jessie drew the short straw and she had to move out of the lovely big chicken coop she shared with Faith (up til this point I didn't know they couldn't live together). I managed to get hold of a hutch and that is where Jessie is now but it's only small not ideal at all for her and although she has access to her run all day I hate knowing she has no room at night to stretch like Faith has.
This is where my dilemma lies I want to purchase a bigger hutch for her but buying one big enough for her to stretch out in and stand up in will cost more then I can afford add on that I need to pay for them both to be neutered and it's going to mean making sacrifices (and potentionally effecting my children I.e days out with them etc) hubby is on a low wage and I'm in the process of setting up my own business so money is tight til that takes off properly.
My only other option would be is to rehome one but the the thought of that leaves me heartbroken as I'm very much in love with them both I hate this and I don't know what to do for the best both for my family and the rabbits.
Please don't lecture me about how I should of known what I was getting myself in for when taking on rabbits and I should of researched. I did as much reading up on how to look after a rabbit before getting one and if I had known that rabbits needed to be neutered to live in harmony I would of only bought Jessie and then later added a second bunny (funds allowing).
Anyways I just had to get that down. Hubby won't understand and he's snoring his head off
Please someone give me some advise or what you would do in my shoes. I want to keep both my bunnies but can't see how we can juggle our money to do so X
Edited to add: I see a lot of you have sheds for your bunnies if I can find one reasonably priced would it be better for Jessie to have her hutch placed in there so she can use it for sleeping but still have the run of the shed on a night.
