Is your exsisting bun male or female? and are they neutered or not?

Edit: Duhh i just noticed your post subject >.< oops *puts on dunce hat and goes and sits in corner*

You would want to wait until she is spayed. I would say wait AT LEAST 1 month after she is altered before introducing them.

If you can you should get a rescued rabbit that is already altered which would be better – if you have a nearby rescue then you can take him on bunny dates to see who he likes.

I can definitely relate to the fluffy puff ball syndrome..but if you watch some rescue videos or look on petfinder you’ll see that there is soo many rabbits who just need someone to love so badly.  They’re just as cute and you’re giving a rabbit a good life that it so much deserves.  I have to bite my tongue..and typing fingers OFTEN because I see baby bunnies that I’d LOVE to have but I have to keep reminding myself of all those bunnies in rescues that need me!!!

shelters often have rabbits brought in who are pregnant and so they usually do have younger rabbits in, its always best to at least check with a shelter and see if they have any, if not they may be able to point you in the direction of someone who needs help with baby buns

I totally understand the fluffy puffball syndrome, however, a visit to a shelter will bring about ANOTHER syndrome which is the “look at that poor sweet bunny stuck in a tiny cage with no one to love and take care of her” syndrome, and I can tell you for a fact that syndrome also comes along with the “I feel so good about myself turning a poor lost rabbit’s life around” syndrome, which is an excellent feeling! I recommend just one visit to a shelter with your girlfriend and I will bet she’ll find a lonely bunny that she can’t leave without….so bring your bunny boy for some dates just in case Even if you don’t leave with a bunny, making connections with a local rescue is great for getting vet recommendations, connecting with other rabbit owners, and usually the shelters sell some nice rabbit products that you can buy to support the shelter and make your bunny very happy.

I fell victim to this just this past weekend. I love my new bunny boy just as much as the baby bunny boys I adopted off of Craigslist.

Well, you have to be pretty open when it comes to shelter rabbits and to finding a friend for your rabbit.  Also age should not matter and you should try to be open to that if you could.

Try not to limit yourself too much and base it on the rabbit’s personality and even more on what your rabbit wants.

Sarita, you brought something up in that comment that I had been wondering about…when we look into getting Tucker a friend we were thinking that we wanted one under like 3 years of age basically to make sure that if the rabbit was older that it didn’t have a much shorter life left then Tucker because I figured he’d be devastated then.  Is that really something that I should worry about though or do you think he’d be ok?  I ask because once I get him fixed (I’ll say that rather then neuter/spayed since the he/she is up in the air LOL) I’d like to just take him in and let HIM choose because really it’s going to be who he has to live with!! But I was wondering if I would be better of only having younger buns there or if any age would work out..

I would say not to worry about age but about whether or not the buns get along. Odds are that no matter what you do, one of them will go before the other one does so somebun will be upset.

This was a big worry for me but when I saw how badly Dono wanted a girlfriend, I didn’t worry about the 5 year gap between them. Besides, Maryann is so tenacious, she’ll probably live longer than me just so she can binkie on my grave.
