Hi and welcome :wave:

I would suggest that you get Al a little wifey-bun to look after him! Roughly the same age and size would be good!

I would say have a look on Rabbit Rehome for a rescue bun who you can adopt. Most rescues offer a dating service, where they take Al for a week or so and bond him with the girl of yours and his dreams

We did it with our second bun Badger and it worked brilliantly. He was a rescue and had been poorly treated, he is still a little timid, but he is a wonderful boy and it is a brilliant feeling knowing that we have offered him a safe, comfortable and loving forever home

Whereabouts are you?

i would wait a few weeks for hormones to settles from his op first, a rescue is a good place to start a lot already have there animals neutered before they go to a new home and often vaxed to, so its worth find one in your area and they can possiable do the bonding for you too, possiably even match make

your bun is still quite young age isnt really a problem, ive got a 6 yr old lad with 3 yr old lassy, I only really suggest the age comes into it when you have an old bun say 8 yrs old and you want a partner for him, so you can have baby, to say 5 /6 yrs with your one,

As I say a rescue is good you can arrange a visit have a chat, get to fuss lots of buns that need homes, and go from there

i am in Walsall west mids that sounds great didnt know you could do thet x

 

[Biscuit's Mum!]

Yes, and it is sooo much easier! Bonding can be a really tricky experience and I wouldn't suggest you give it a go! The thing is as well, if the buns just don't get on, at least you haven't brought the second bun home and fallen in love :roll:

We were prepared for Biscuit to have a couple of boyfriends before she settled down, but she is head over heels with the first one thankfully.

thanx Laura that sound brill ill get him through his op then go from there xxxxxEmma

 

[Biscuit's Mum!]

When is the op? Are you nervous?! I was petrified before I got my girly done!

I think they recommend 4-6 weeks after his snip before bonding starts as there may still be some hormones and other things in his system :shock::lol:

Yes, I was exactly the same as we had had Bisc for about 9 months.

Biscuit is a real cheeky and naughty bun and very affectionate. I was worried it would 'calm her down' and I desperately didn't want that! She didn't change a tiny bit and most buns don't change in many ways, it is just a doorway to getting Al married off!

I was a little worried about getting a second bun too, as I thought we would lose our special relationship, but absolutely not! It's just lovely to know that she has a friend for when I am not around (plus I got to have two bunnies )
