if they’re fully bonded, go for the pair

I think that a single bunny with plenty human interaction will be fine alone. I would definitely take the cost and space into consideration. Do you have enough space for a 4 x 4 habitat? If both gets sick can you afford the vet bills? Etc… If you aren’t concerned about space and cost I think a bonded pair might be a wonderful thing to consider. Will the rescue group let you foster to adopt? You could foster the bonded pair and see if it fits in with your lifestyle.

I agree with Mike. Rabbits are social creatures so they do well in groups. If they’re fully bonded it saves you from having to worry about bonding the bun to another one. Not to mention, it’s harder for pairs to get adopted than singles.

There of course is nothing wrong with single buns. Personally, I’m experiencing the stress of bonding right now and it just makes me wish I had someone else who could do it for me. =p

It is really up to you! If I had the financial capability, I would have taken my single gal bunny dating, but that won’t be happening until I finish school and get a job!

Buns are very social animals and do best in pairs, although I have heard that some rabbits that just won’t bond with other rabbits or are just bonded to their human.

Good luck on your decision!

If you can afford them, then go for the pair! I like having two buns. I keep begging for another, but my husband says no.

Single buns are fun. You learn so much about their quirks and personality! I am pretty bonded to my single girl. She is very very bratty, but sweet too. Keep us updated on your journey!

There is a cat rescue here that asks a lot of questions. They include what kind of a home you have (house, apartment, etc), if your landlord for sure allows pets (if you rent), and whether or not you are financially capable of taking care of a cat. I think they are just really cautious because they don’t want a cat to have to come back if they are placed in the wrong home. I suppose I wouldn’t find them asking very weird, but putting in answers for you is a little weird. Maybe she thought the boss would deny you or something? I don’t know.

I know exactly the kind of individual you are talking about. They go through life with the impression that they are god sent to interfere with other people and that their ideas and opinions are correct and will frequently over ride an individual with how they think something should be done, often to the detriment of that individual. What this woman has done is illegal and you have any difficulties I would be putting in a call to the manager.

It should also be noted these people usually have a very low IQ which is why they are unable to see the fault in their behavior.

I know the rabbit rescue I adopted from asked if I was over 18 and if I was renting from someone. Their age to adopt was 18& over and they wanted to contact who I was renting from to make sure it was okay to have a pet rabbit. I know it had to do with making sure that the bun would go to a stable loving home.

What the woman did though was wrong. I honestly would have asked to see a manager about her behavior. If she said those things to you then she has said them to other people. And if they were not as knowledgable about rabbits as you are they would have been very messed up by what she said.

False info on a contract… wow. I would say call a manager, but if she is well liked in the shelter it might cause you to not get the adoption. Hrm. :S Doesn’t sound like a pleasant person though.

You should let the shelter know that the info on there isn’t right…that doesn’t seem right to me.  

When I was trying to adopt a bunny from an HRS shelter a few years ago, it was difficult because I was under 18. They repeatedly told my parents that I wasn’t responsible and would abandon my bunnies within a year or two, that type of thing. They made my parents (who don’t take care of the bunnies) say that they would be the primary caretakers of my bunnies. Keep in mind, I was a teen and I’d been a bunny owner for almost two years at that point. They did also want info on where we lived, who would be paying for the bunny expenses, etc. As far as I know, they’re certainly able to ask about your financial information. Some shelters are more prying than others with that type of thing as well. 

I hope you’re able to get Luna! If/when you get her, be sure to post some photos!

She is beautiful! She looks like my Ian. And he’s a Florida White. =]

See, they look practically identical.  

Aww what a sweetie!

What about Ruby? Roux? Suri? Those are red-related.

She’s gorgeous! And yes, looks just like Skipper’s Ian
Congrats! I’m sure she’ll have a great home with you

I like the names Scarlett or Ruby

How about Rose or Rosie…. She is so beautiful just like a gorgeous rose.

Congrats! She looks a lot like my Mr. Bunny, the bunny in my avatar. I like Rose/Rosie, Ruby, Scarlet, and Lucy. Some other good ones for white bunnies are Luna, Snowbelle or Snow, Cotton, and Vanilla. She has very pretty eyes!

Oh my, she is such a girly girl bun — so pretty! I have a soft spot to for REW because they can be overlooked and I personally think they are so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Name Ideas that play off her eye color: Ruby, Jewel (because her eyes look like jewels), Dahlia (a vibrant flower that does come in other colors, the reds, purples and pinks are really pretty)

What a darling!

Yeahp, sounds like normal territorial poop dropping. =] When buns are brought into a new environment they tend to do it. I’m betting she smells the concentration of your smells in the bedroom so that’s why she chose to lay her little scent bombs there to try to cover your smell with hers. =p

I had a NZW I named Maxine – the name just came to me. I had 2 males – NZW was Gideon and the Florida White was Jessie. Truthfully their names just came to me once I had them for awhile…I’m never sure where I get my name inspiration.

I’m thinking Maxine came from the Maxine greeting card character. I find her funny in an offensive way. Not that my rabbit Maxine was in any way offensive, just liked the name for her.
