Truffpuff
Mama Doe
Hello,
I am new to this forum but after looking at other posts you all seem very kind and not judgemental to fellow bunny lovers.
I am really hoping I can get advice because I asked this same question on a rabbit rescue and the reply I got has now really worried and upset me that I have mad a bad decision :-( they said what I am trying to achieve is very difficult and usually isn't successful and ends up with a big fight. So the story (apologies for a bit of an essay):
Myself and my other half have a 1 year old mini lop called Truffle and he has two friends that are our 8 month old kittens.
He is an indoor bunny and a very sensitive soul (it took two weeks for him to forgive me for going away for just a weekend!). He loves the kittens and has always seemed happy being a lone bun.....but there are moments I think he wishes he had a friend who spoke the same language especially when he asks to be snuggledor groomed but the cats walk away from him.
I work in a vets and helped bring a very sick baby bun back to health and we decided to keep him, hetc was born 03/03/17. He's going to be neutered in a month like Truffle is and then a few weeks/a month after the bonding processes can begin hopefully.
My question is, if we struggle with bonding because Truffle is a difficult bun and we have never done anything like it apart from getting him to like the cats which took a while, if they get bonded somewhere else.....would it all be undone when coming back here to our house because it's Truffles house still?
I don't know anywhere we can get help because I feel we only have one shot or Truffle will hold a grudge against the new bun forever, we are around Towcester - milton keynes area and I work in aylesbury.
I don't know what to do :-(
