Totally want another bunny

[lionheadbunny21]

I really want another bunny to add to our family. The SPCA doesn't have any. The petstore ... DOES, but I don't want to go there. They didn't even know if the younger one they had was a male or female.. OR how old he or she was :?The other ones there are older, which is fine, but they are male. I'm looking for another female so they could eventually be buddies. Or wait until I can afford both neuter and spay for Happy and the male if we get a male.



I have a 7 month old Lionhead and would like her to have another buddy.. I think I'll wait until after she is spayed The best choice at the moment. I have a dog as well that needs to neutered by 6 months, which is.. in less than 2 months.I just want another bunny. I've always had two bunnies and I'm not trying to replace my Shae, but its not the same with one :?I love rabbits so much and my husband wants another one as well

Here is Happy :heartsMy sweetheart, I love her so much =]

You cannot easily bond an unspayed female rabbit to any rabbit ; even if you got a neutered male the unspayed female may be aggressive and territorial .

it is best to wait and get her spayed and then let her pick out her own neutered companion at a shelter.
A male and female are easier to bond than female/ female

She is extremely cute.!!!

Thank you. I thought waiting until she was spayed was the best way as well
She may just love all the attention too much tho

There are no shelters around here, we'd have to drive quite a few hours to one

Very cute. We had two intact males that came to us bonded--took care of it soonest though. The worst times were with females--there was no meeting of the minds with any un-neutered ones.

Thanks. I think I'll stil have to travel from here
I have only had females so I don't know what to expect with "fixed" male/female or any other pair or breed.
I am pretty excited whenever it happens

Keep in mind that male/female bonds (where both are fixed) are easier bonds than two females, even when both are fixed. I would wait until you can get your first bun spayed, then try to adopt a neutered male. Even if you have to drive a couple hours to a rescue, it'll be cheaper in the long run than getting him neutered yourself, plus you'll be able to do bunny dating and have a good idea if they will ever get along. Getting another unspayed female now is probably a recipe for disaster, honestly - the chance that two unfixed girls will get along is very very slim.

I totally understand. I've only had girls.. She was bonded to another female, BUT they were babies pretty much, so of course they were getting along. Happy is 7 months now. I will totally wait until I can travel and find her a neutered male buddy. Although it is 24 hour drive to Vancouver
