How hard is it....really?
I am going to be adopting a buddy for my 14 month old neutered male. I have put the search on hold for a few weeks, but I am continuing to look around for possibilities. There sure are a lot more males around than females!
I have been in contact with the only rescue anywhere close to me that allows "bunny dating" and I may end up going that route, but it is a bit of a drive for me. There are very few rescues that take bunnies near me. This particular one does have a number of rabbits to choose from which is attractive to me, and of course they know something about their health and personalities. The local animal control gets 1-2 bunnies in every couple of weeks, but they are not at all reliable on sexing them if they sex them at all. My current bun came from there (he was pulled by another rescue which is where I adopted him from). Animal control had him listed as female, but he needed a neuter when he was taken in for his spay .
I am thinking I might like to try adopting from animal control, but there is the unknown of how the rabbits will get on with each other and also a chance I might sex the rabbit wrong as I am no expert either. Both rabbits would be fixed and well past the hormones before I attempted introducing them, but if I ended up with 2 males, how hard is it REALLY to bond them?
