For "Liquorce's" Mum - Why rabbits are better living in pairs

[Mischief and Tinker's Mum]

Did you buy her from a pet shop, it is unlikely they will vaccinate or spay their rabbits
Have you got proof they are vaccinated or did your parents go and vaccinate them at the vets for both VHD and Myxo

If you look at liquorice's past threads you will see that her rabbit IS spayed, she was a few weeks ago.

I know but she has had her stitches out and is much better

Showed my mum and she just started shouting and said go away I'm crying in real life. She thinks oh shes been fine all this time so she'll be ine for the rest of her life . Thx for all the post everyone but my dad would get one but no my mum won't.



Any talk about getting any animal she just says enough already just go away Oh nothing will get my mum to get me a bunny.

You will just have to spend loads and loads of time with your current bunny so she isnt too lonely, and maybe she will come round one day soon.

My dad is really nice and would get dog, another rabbit and a guinea pig if my mum wasn't in charge

Why not explain to him the benefits of a 2nd bunny, then get him to talk to your Mum on an adult level about why it may be best.

Hiya Liquorice and family! :wave:

Rabbits are far, far happier with the company of their own kind.

Here are a couple of vids of my boy's setups. Hopefully they'll give you some inspiration:

Your set up is fantastic!!!! One of the best I've ever seen. What lucky, lucky buns!

It does have to be the right time for the owner to be able to offer the correct amount of care to another bunny but yes bunnies are very sociable animals and do thrieve when living together.
We had Jimby for just over a year before we rescued Cookie and even though he was a very happy bunny as he is an indoor bun and I do not work due to health issues so he had a lot of company the transformation when we got Cookie was amazing, once they were bonded it was so sweet to see them together and even now when they snuggle up and groom each other my heart melts!
I can tell Jimby is a much happier bunny now that he has a wife-bun, plus it gives me the comfort of knowing that when I am out and about he is not on his own and feeling lonely, he has someone who he can talk too and who understands him fully!
