I hope this is the right place, sorry if it's not!
After Marley is neutered I would like to adopt a female. However, Marley came from a friend so I'm new to adopting buns from rescues. I was wondering about a few things...
1) Is taking a bun to meet the females really beneficial? Is it reliable or is their behaviour affected by the new surroundings?
2) Is a laidback bunny indicative that it will be the same around others?
Marley gets along with many other animals but I've never seen him around another bunny. I know he lived with another (not bonded) in his old home. He gets along very well with my hamster, he's not bothered by dogs, he runs up to my cats (always been ok with him but I don't trust them) and is generally not bothered by ANYTHING. He's also very calm considering he's not spayed. I've never seen him hump anything and he doesn't mark excessively. Do you think he'll act the same around another bun after neutering?
3) Do laidback rabbits like him benefit from similar companions or does it not matter if the other one is more active than them? Also, does their size matter?
4) Do rescues ever adopt out males to be bonded with males if they get along better? I see many are very against male x male bonding.
Thank you!
