I have had single rabbits twice, first Spockie for 8 years, then after he crossed the bridge, Sammykins for the past 3 years.
I’m a big believer in bonding with your single bunny, and not introducing a second rabbit unless you have a very strong, independent financial base, room to spare for two, and time to work on a slow and steady bonding process. If you live with family, it’s not very hard for them to live with your single bunny, but it can be a group undertaking to add another, so be sure this is your decision alone. Think ahead about where you will be living over the next 10 years, too, because you will need space and permission to have 2 bunnies in any new home you may move to.
Milo will not be lonely with only you. They sleep during the day when you’re at work or at school. They have morning and evening routines around your own meal times, so it’s a great time to bond and eat together. And they do well with a few hours of play/exercise time daily. I really think it would be great to enjoy Milo for a few years alone, for both of you.
Now, step away from the Craigslist site. That’s it. Back up. Don’t look at those pictures….that’s right. You’re almost free. There. Go pet Milo.
