I adopted Ms. Rabbit almost two years after I got Mr. Bunny. Mr. Bunny was always very friendly before I adopted Ms. Rabbit; in fact, he was so affectionate that we called him our “licky thing”. He did stop licking me as much and following me around after I got Ms. Rabbit, but he never stopped snuggling with me and running up for petting.

I actually saw a positive change in both bunnies after they were bonded. Ms. Rabbit had a pretty bad past before she came to us (she was in a house fire), and she was aggressive and shy before she was bonded to Mr. Bunny. She’s now a happy, affectionate bunny who loves to be held and petted. Mr. Bunny seems less lonely, and he’s definitely no less friendly than he was as a single bunny.

I think a bunny can be happy with an owner or a bunny. If they are a single bunny they are your baby so they get attention. They definitely exclude you when they have a friend in their own species- so emotionally you have to be ok with that. Next there is always a risk of disease, but minimal, so exposing your bunny to another can bring in illness potentially. It is an excellent thing to do though if you have limited time; especially if you can wait for the right match and they love each other. Nothing more special than the right bond.All bills will double, so you have to double your e-vet fund

I haven’t had bonded bunnies, but have read about many of them here over the years, and there seems to be a tendency to have the 2 bunnies be more interested in each other at first once they get along. Some slaves have complained at first that they seem to only be needed to feed and clean. But after a while, or sometimes without a change at all, the first bunny maintains the original relationship of affection to their owner. What you will want to do is get to know the new bunny, spend alone time together, and create a bond between you also. Often, with the difference in personality, the owner (slave) is delighted with the new bunny and they have a different kind of way of relating, so you get double the fun of having bunnies. You will see many differences in behavior and personality, and will relate to each one separately as well as together.

So I’d say expect changes, and more changes, in your individual and group dynamics, but it will be interesting and probably very rewarding for all of you.

I definitely feel like the “third wheel” in the relationship. They still love pets and everything, but I’m not their focus. Meadow loves Max, and he her, so I wouldn’t change anything, but I do miss having my girl one on one (some days). You don’t have to get a second for him to be a happy, well-adjusted bunny.

We had our first with us for a month before getting our second. He’s always been affectionate and wanting to love from us though. That never really changed but after getting our third who he bonded with even better (the second is quiet and he’s hyper and now our third is just as hyper) so after getting the third he loves playing with his bunny friend more than us sometimes. But the third one LOVES attention…. so he’s willing to leave his bunny friends for some human love and cuddling. So I think it can really go either way. I would definitely bond yourself with the second bun before bonding them completely. So the second bun relies on you for attention and first and not just the other bunny.

BETTER GET ANOTHER ONE AND SEND US LOADS OF PICTURESSSSS!!!!

It’s kind of a half and half sort of thing with my rabbits. On one hand I have Totoro, who loves his Wilbur bunny and basically stays by her side but constantly wants attention from me. He will guard Wilbur from me and will guard me from Wilbur sometimes, he is possessive over both of us! And then there’s Wilbur, who has always been sort of a no touchy bunny but always wants to be near you, just not right in your lap. I felt bad leaving her all day, when I’d come home she would follow me around from a safe distance. Now she has someone she will actually cuddle with

I know rabbits can be very happy without another rabbit but personally I think I made the best decision for my rabbit and myself. Someday I hope to have a trio, but right now I like having my pair
