Up today, all the articles I've read concerning the eternal question, i.e. if a sole rabbit is okay by its own when his humans are not around, concluded in the same answer: No. A rabbit needs A LOT of human company, or else, bunny company from another rabbit.
My professional life is, unfortunately, a busy one, and, because of this I'm away from home a good part of the working day. I'm always havinghuge guilt attacks for this. Plus, whenever on an outing, a part of my brain is stuck to the mental image of Vitto being alone in the house. When I'm at home I dedicate almost all of my time to my bun, who must be one of the most spoilt little buns in the planet. You know, it's the same as with busy human kid parents: the kid can have whatever he/she wants, because of the overworked mom's/dad's guilt syndrome.
Anyway, today I was astonished to read in another forum a member insisting that, not only according to his opinion, but also according to written material he'd read, a rabbit is not unhappy being alone, as a matter of fact, he said that rabbits prefer it this way (some rabbits? for some limited amount of time? he was not specific).
Have you ever read a -serious and trustworthy- article supporting this position?
(Yes, I know it would make me feel better if you did!!!)
