We have wanted to bond Mr Chief with a bunny but unfortunately my OH lost his job soon after getting Mischief so we have not been able to afford the expenses of another bunny.
He has just started work again and so we want to get a wife for Mr Chief soon. What do we need to do to prepare for this? We would be saving some money in the bank to cover unexpected vet fees but want to cover every angle.
We would probably get vet insurance although we are debating whether we should just save up and put money in the bank instead as Mr Chief has had a few problems with health and would not be covered for these now?
We are getting his jabs done this month and a general check up to make sure he is now fit enough to cope with an anaesthetic. Then we can get him neutered.
We are also getting the flooring done. What would you recommend for bunnies? And we have a big cage for Mr Chief for night time. We are considering getting rid of the cage and getting a rabbit house/hay feeder and free-standing water feeder. Is there anything else we would need if 2 bunnies?
Also I have just been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Obviously I don't know how bad I could get or how quickly. As we had a stressful time when Mischief was ill with a lung infection so I am a bit nervous as to whether I can cope with two rabbits.
At the same time I have read that bonded bunnies can be easier than one as they are happier and exercise more in pairs running around. Would you say this is true? Is having a pair more or less stressful and more work? I don't want to get another one and find out I can't cope. But I am at home full time so able to give them full attention although I do have bad days with pain.
I feel I need some advice as to whether taking another rabbit on is a good idea with my illness but at the same time I want Mr Chief to be happy. I give him my full attention all day and he lives in the bedroom with us. He has cuddles whenever he asks and can jump on bed when he wants to and I play with him on the floor a couple of times a day. However I know I am not the same as another bunny.
I would be interested to hear everyone's point of view on my actual situation and whether they feel it would be a good idea to get another bunny for Mischief. Thank you so much x
