Malteser had been looking through the patio window at Poppy and Mr Snowdrop. He smells a lady and is interested! She comes in for goodnight cuddles and he does bunny 500's around the lounge and dances around our feet!
He hadn't shown interest in Mr Snowdrop so we thought our attentions where enough, now though bunny is telling us he wants a wifey bun.
He is neutered, vaccinated and health checked, the vet says getting a friend will be fine!
So, with Malteser being a small Polish he is limited to girlfriend bunnies. Though rescues have told us size doesn't matter, for him, it does. Since recovering from EC his balance can be a bit off, a big bun could push him over easily when just being loving and if humped he wouldn't take the weight of a big bun. I doubt he would be able to mount so I'm not sure of his response to being mounted, he wasn't impressed when Mr Snowdrop got plums and he hadn't got ill then. He also has a 'tick' that when his ears are touched in a certain place he falls over and scratches his ear, looks like a fit but been assured that it isn't.
He will need a gentle girl to love him and clean his eyes and ears for him as he cannot do that for himself.
Trouble is we are limited to buns with Nethie, dwarf hotot or Polish, maybe even a small dwarf lop in them. Hubby has said he doesn't want a lionhead which is a pain as there are SO many about!! Malteser weighs 1.5 kilos so somebun near that weight will be perfect!
We need help! Originally I thought we would need a bun with some disability too but now I think a caring fully able girl will be best. They will be house buns as Malteser lost some muscle mass and needs a warm environment since being ill. Because Malteser is a house bun there is no neutral area for bonding so we need someone who can bond them too. Also, as bad as it sounds we can only take on the bun if they bond as we have no other living space and 4 buns is enough, if the don't bond and they both need pals then we'd have 6!! Cannot happen:shock:
I've looked on rabbit rehome and only got 2 buns in my search but they weren't suitable for the house due to their nature. I know other rescues are about but haven't got buns listed.
Anyone got any advice on what we should look for for him, or know of any rescues around about Cheshire, n wales, Merseyside, Manchester that might be able to help?
