I have a question about how to go about bonding rabbits that were previously bonded to a rabbit of the same sex after one of them has died.
I had two unspayed, unrelated females bonded together. Were they an impulse buy? Yes. Why didn’t I get them spayed? One of my parents was dying at the time and took a huge and unexpected turn for the worse. It just wasn’t on the cards. I’m not really sure how I went about bonding them? I know I took steps, but honestly it happened so effortlessly that I can’t even remember what I did, and I never got around to spaying them in the end.
They were together for three years with absolutely no issues. Best friends for life. Unfortunately one of those lives was cut short and now I’m unsure of where to go.
I know my rabbit needs a new companion. What I don’t know is whether I should try and bond her with another female or a neutered male. The later is meant to be easier, yeah, but I wonder how her having only been bonded to a female would effect that?
Has anyone had experience with this? Bonding previously female/female pairs to males or male/male pairs to females? If so, would you mind sharing how it worked out? Thank you!
(Before anyone advices: I know it would make it easier, but I can’t get her spayed, either. Not for a while, anyway. Turns out my dog also has cancer. I have too many vet bills as it is.)
