My brother has a female bun who is about 8 years old. While he feeds her and changes her, he does not really like her or take care of her emotional needs. I have been on him to spay her but he refuses, and currently i cannot afford to do this. I hope to save the money in the next few months, but I am not sure this will happen. I know the advantages to spaying, and would if I could afford it, but I cannot at this point in time. My vet charges $250 to spay a rabbit, plus the vet fisit. I was wondering if it would be okay to house her on top of my spayed/neutered bonded pair. Once my brother put her outside to play together with my bonded pair started fighting for about a week, but they worked out.
My buns have a two level CC cage that I was hoping to convert into two cages. My buns only sit on the top level, even though the bottom is more roomy and two grids high, the top is only one. The cage is 4 grids long and 2 grids wide. I am going put them back on the bottom and close off the top either way, but I was hoping to convert it (by adding another row of grids for height) into a cage for my brother's bun. Right now she is caged in a regular pet store cage, which is way to small. Her cage is probably only eighteen inches wide by three feet long, if even that.
Would it be okay to house her above a bonded pair, if they could still smell her? Will this cause them to fight, or should they be okay with a floor between them? I want to do what is best for this bun, I feel bad for her. My brother never wanted her, and so really does not do much beyond the basic care for this girl. She is a lop eared girl, who is probably about 7+ pounds.
