Evening all,
I just need to post to save my own sanity!
It's a real struggle finding females that are available for Neo, within an hour or so travel time, single and not much older than him!!! We had a bad situation with a male rabbit and have resigned to knowing a female/male bond is going to be best for everyone.
The other struggle is that many rescues won't bond (rules them out) and others are bonding so many singles into pairs within the rescue that the singles all disappear and we are left with next to no choice. We need to feel as happy with the choice as much as Neo, we have felt this before we just need to feel it again and I know it happens. We still want to rescue and even though we do care about all the rabbits we still want to feel happy with our decision and have some attraction there. Some people may find this a bit selfish sounding but for us this is just how it has to be.
We almost need a newer or less busy rescue that we can visit, put a stop on a few and bring him in for a week or trials with a few different girls as he doesn't like to travel so for one female per rescue it seems unfair to him! Especially if we need to do this over and over.
It's a horrible time at the moment as he loves spending time with us but with working full time we really need company for him! Sorry I'm rambling on now but we are frustrated and don't know where to go from here!
Today I popped into P@H and my friend that works there has a few dumpees that have come in. There's a 4-6 month old girl, she is gorgeous and really quite chilled. Following the horridness regarding our angel bunny Skye we would obviously go to our normal vet who has experience with Exotics for the spay, this would happen regardless of location of rescue.
I guess I'm looking for some sort of opinion that prevents me from arguing with myself over and over in my head. If we were to adopt this girl would she survive the op? If she does, will she recover? If she does, will Neo accept her?
My head feels like a washing machine!
