So, I have two bonded buns Lionel and Lisa and a single Male called Clive.
We got Lionel and Clive together before we knew much about rabbits (yes I know) and after an initial baby bond and some horrendous fights they have been living apart. Lionel and Lisa are happily bonded and live together and Clive is in the same room but has his own massive hutch. I let the pair out for half the day to have complete free roam of their room and my landing and the same goes for Clive but obviously I can’t let them out all together.
However when I do let Clive out he spends a lot of time sitting outside Lionel and Lisa’s pen licking the bars, flopping and just staring at them. Is he lonely? Or is he still able to socialise with them and fill the lonely void even though he can’t physically access them both?
I’m thinking of adopting another female bun and bonding her with Clive. Tbh I have my hands full with the 3 of them but I just want what’s best for him? Any advice? Could he actually be happy alone? Does the company of Lionel and Lisa count even though they are behind the bars?
Thanks in advance x
