Hello!
My local P@H have a lovely little PEW doe who needs rehoming and is about the same age as Stephen, they even have matching names (they'd be Stephen and Stella.. aww). She has been in P@H alone since last August and thought I might ask about a wifey-bun for Stevie as I think he's getting a little lonely. I asked about bonding and bringing Stephen in, or taking her home for a trial to see if they got on etc, and what they would recommend and they told me that they would not sell me a rabbit as a companion because it is 'too distressing' and 'too difficult' to bond rabbits. He made me feel really guilty for suggesting it, like I was doing something really wrong and he said that he would ensure that they didn't sell me a rabbit as I should just leave him on his own despite me trying to explain that up until recently Stephen had a friend and according to the information on Stella she doesn't need to be alone. Why sell rabbits that need rehoming to say that they are friendly and good with other animals but when you ask about bonding they tell you that she should be alone?
I don't really know what to do/ what to say! I was worrying about bonding before and now I'm really panicking about it.
