Hi all,
This is my first thread on here ( apart from the introduction page )
I have 2 bunnies and 3 dogs.
On the 3 June we lost one of our bunnies quite tragically through my own carelessness, and I still find it hard to talk about now
The rabbit that we had left after this accident, we were very worried about as Frizbu had never been on his own before and he was the quieter bun out of the 2. When Nik-Nak died he stopped eating and became even more withdrawn. Our of sheer panic I went over board with toys etc to keep him occupied. On one visit to our local Pets At Home ( 2 days after the accident)I went over to have a look at bunnies and I noticed an area for rescue bunnies from the local shelter. Anyway I went to have a look and saw a lovely lop eared girl, and later on that evening she was mine ( once hubby had seen her too).
She was not vaccinated or neutered and is approx a year old. We left her to settle for a day in an indoor cage, and then we started introducing her to Frizby. The first meeting went fantastic no fur pulling or biting, we knew Frizby wouldn't as he is a very laid back bunny. On the 4 or 5th attempt Rockie ( the new bun) started with a lot of mounting and biting and fluff pulling, poor old Frizby was scared. Rockie has now been neutered and vaccinated ( Frizby is already neutered and regularly vaccinated), but I'm a bit edgy about putting them together again.
If I could of seen past the panic then I would of taken more time and looked round a lot more rescue centres. Does it sound like we may of rushed into things?
