can i ask a Question. Are single rabbits are playfull even without a another rabbit?

 

[Michaela]

Some singlerabbits are playful, some aren't, you won't know until you get it.

Smaller breeds tend to be more playful and active though.

I would definitely recommend a pair.

I know english spots are pretty but they arehigh strung and dont usually make good pets.I used too raise englishspots.there are other breeds with sim ilar markings that make betterpets,mini rex,polish,Netherland dwarfs,dwarf hotots,lionheads.bluebird

 

[IloverabbitsandGPs1979]

I was thinking of a mini lop but i wasn't sure.

There are a lot of friendly, healthy, andbeautiful rabbits in shelters and rescues. If you're not seton a specific breed, it would be a good idea to go to a shelter andchoose your rabbit based on personality. Plus, most sheltersand rescues spay/neuter their rabbits before they are adopted (savingyou money and stress) and you can get bonded pairs if you want to.

Hey Ruthie

[IloverabbitsandGPs1979]

No, personality doesn't really go by breed. It depends moreon the individual. For example, dwarf rabbits have areputation for being hyper and less loving, but I met the most placidpurebred Netherland Dwarf buck the other day and he was sosweet! I have a pair of dwarf hotot sisters and theirpersonalities are very different.

Your bunnies are probably shy because they're still new and becausesometimes babies are more interested in playing than with people,especially if they weren't handled much by their breeder. Ithink most rabbits take at least a few weeks before they really settlein to a new home.
