just wondered if you might be able to point out to me any signs, specific behaviour that may indicate a rabbit is lonely, stresses, depressed etc.
Pip is a 1 year old neutered male currently living alone and despite my intention to bond him, he is still single, which isnt ideal and now that his accommodation in the new house is not what he was used to in the old house (a 10x8 shed with attached run) I am starting to worry a little!
His behaviour has changed insofar as I can pick him up and have cuddles whereas before there is no way Pip would let me pick him up, he had to be transported everywhere in his carrier! Sooooo does this indicate any lonliness??
I have felt so awful with everything that happened with Fizz (some of you will e aware of everything that went on) that I just dont want to messs up any more that I already have!
I have looked into adopting a speyed female for Pip but I feel it would really be a process in that he would need to be tried with them first before me adopting etc and the other problem is the only accommodation I have at the moment is the 5x5x2 hutch with attached run so I dont even meets rescues requirements. Not sure I have any options at the moment!
But it would be handy to know what to look for in Pip because at least if I know he is relatively happy at the moment then that makes me feel a bit better!
Any advice would be great, thanks!
