Hi everyone!
I just got a new little baby - and he is seriously a little baby! I was told he was only 6 weeks old when he was handed over to me :shock: I already had Rilee, who should be turning 6 this summer (a guesstimate. I got her as a tiny in September 2006).
So there is a 5.5 year age difference between them. Obviously I would wait for baby Moose to get older and get fixed (Ri is spayed) before attempting to bond. But I don't know if I want to bond them at all! :/
I'm worried that Rilee will pass many years before Moose, and that he will get depressed. And while I see myself having rabbits for many years, at least 8-12 more , I don't want to be stuck in a bunny-cycle of replacing companions. Rilee's reaction to Moose has been aggressive, but I know that's not a dealbreaker and they could still work out. Also, Rilee's always been kind of... bratty hahaha and so far Moose is very sweet and is ok with being held. I want him to stay sweet to people and am worried Rilee would be a bad influence in that sense.
I've never had 2 bunnies at once... what is your opinions on our situation? Any input is appreciated!!
BONUS: Little boy Moose a few days before he went full lop
