Hi, my name is Helen and I'm pretty new to looking after rabbits. Until very recently we had two rabbits, Tango and Sprinter. Both males, both neutered, bonded, living together outdoors although we would bring them inside during particularly cold weather. tango was the boss of the friendship and Sprinter very submissive and I guess he relied on Tango very much, sort of to hide behind. Unfortunately Tango (Large lop) passed away a few weeks ago.
Because we didn't want Sprinter To be lonely, we decided to bring him indoors to our indoor hutch/cage where he has the run of the sun lounge and he really seems to be ok. On nice days I like to put him in the outdoor hutch, but he gets so stressed out being moved.
I just hope I'm doing the right thing. I couldn't bare him to be outdoors all the time on his own, when indoors he has struck up a bit of a friendship with our 8 month old kitten, although I wouldn't leave them alone for Sprinters sake!
Ant advise would be very much appreciated. Thank you
