So as you may already know from my previous posts, we recently tried to get a baby female rabbit to bond with our 1 year old neutered male free range house rabbit.  It did not work.  The baby attacked the adult, and our best efforts could not get them to stop attacking each other and any one else who smelled like the other rabbits.  It was simply causing too much stress and anxiety having that much aggression going on with no way of knowing if or when it would ever end.

So I’m currently trying to decide whether to just give up on the whole thing and be happy with our one rabbit.  He is wonderful, snuggles up to my kids, does not destroy anything and loves attention.  This seems like the logical thing to do.

Except.  I feel so sad for him when I am working a long day and he is clearly upset when we come home.  Or worse yet, when we leave for a few days to go camping or visit relatives in the care of a neighbor.  It is clear he gets lonely and angry.

I decided to put all of this on the back burner either for a few weeks or indefinitely, until I just got a response to an email I sent a few weeks ago to a rabbit shelter.  It is about a 50 minute drive, but they have lots of already spayed!!! females and would let us bring him for a bunny date.  We are headed in that direction this weekend, and could conceivably bring our current rabbit along, pick up a new one, and let them bond together this weekend at my FIL’s house (very neutral territory!).  This sounds absolutely crazy typing this out.  Someone please tell me either I’m nuts to even consider it, or yes, go for it, it would make two very happy well cared for bunnies.  Most likely I’m just nuts.
