Hi,
A lot if you helped me on my previous post about housing, thank you so much. We now feel we have two options that would work for us and the rabbits.
We can do a large cage with pen attatched if were out and free range time if were in or depending on the rabbit no run and run of the kitchen. Were also happy to rabbit proof our spare room and use that as the base if we have too. Thank you very much for those ideas.
I went back to see the little boy rabbit again last night, he's nine weeks old and there were only two in the litter, him and another boy. The idea I had was to bond an older rescue bun with the baby but him and his brother have grown so close, they follow each other groom each other and snuggle up together. The person who has them was happy for the boys to go seperatley to be paired with girl as boys are least likely to get on together and she did expect them to be having scraps by now and need seperating but they are not.
What is best for these rabbits? Are they bonded and should stay together or is it best to split and bond them with girls?
The person who has the babies isn't a rescue as such she's just a animal lover who heard about a pregnant bun that was going to be taken to the pet shop (someone thought they had two boys) and she didn't want that so took mum on but she's no expert and after talking last night isn't sure what is best for the boys.
The older girl I'm looking at is already spayed and any boy would be neutered ASAP.
What's best for these three rabbits long term?
