If rehoming is the only option, make sure you charge an adoption fee, people like to pick up free rabbits for snake food. Also, you should get him fixed before finding him a new home.

Ditto, what Hazel said. Re-homing is, unfortunately, the best option you have, for if you keep procrastinating it, you will become too attached to him. You have to look at what is best for the rabbit. Step out of your shoes, and imagine you were him –  if you could choose, what life would you want? Don’t overthink it, it is not a multistep problem. Look at the pros and cons of both sides. If he went to a shelter where they would make sure he ended up in a loving home or a person you know who will give him a good home, or stayed with you, where would you choose?

If you can’t offer him what he needs, you would feel guilty all the time you were around him, and a guilty relationship is not fun. Maybe you could visit him? Either way, you should make the decision now, for it will become too difficult if you keep putting it off. I’m sorry to say this, I know re-homing is not the answer you wanted to hear, but buns’ are a lot of work, need a lot of space – and they are worthy companions. We have to make sure that we are good ones in turn. I’m not saying your not a good bun owner –  that I’m sure you are, and maybe you can own a bun after college, but right now, I would say it is best to let this bun go before you can’t say goodbye.

Wishing you easy thinking. 🙂

You say that both you and your sister on in college – will you have enough space in your dormitory for him to exercise, and get binkies out? College requires a lot of studies, and focus on what you are working on, you will only have that opportunity to get that knowledge one time – and that one time is Now. Are you sure you can give him a good life while you are in college? If not, would you and him be able to put up with the stress of him not being able to live the life he wants?

My suggestion would be to find a friend to give him to during this time, who will be able to give him a spoiled life until you can take him again. Maybe your parents could take him? If he can get enough space to hop around, then I would say go for it. But if you don’t have space for him to hop around, would you have the space for the supplies you need to have for a rabbit? (hay, litter, etc.)

I’m not saying any of this in the terms of “You’re a bad rabbit owner!” I’m sure that your a GREAT bun owner, and will give him the best-spoiled life you could give him, but can you give him one now, and be able to focus on your studies?

We’re always here for you, don’t be afraid to reach out! 🙂

Oh, okay, thank you for clarifying. 🙂 I had a totally different picture in my head, sorry about my harsh words! <3 Yes, I think that it would be best for your spoiled little boy to stay with you, you give him a loving home, a spoiled life, and an overall great place to be. Keep us posted! Again, so sorry for my criticism!

I had pets when I was in college and grad school. I always had time to spend with them. Bunnies are great because they just enjoy having you nearby, so you can spend time with them while studying, etc. I understand though, sometimes you just feel overwhelmed with the idea juggling all these things.

I did want to mention that it is generally not recommended to allow rabbits and chinchillas to play or live together.

Bunnies are the cutest, especially when you rub them just right, and they make that expression of pure contentment “Oh yes…keep rubbing” 😆

Hmm, since he isn’t eating much hay, maybe you could minimize his pellet portion a bit? So then he’d have a more of an appetite for hay? I’ve heard of this trick on here and thought it sounded like a good idea. So I tried it with my girlies and low-and-behold, they now LOVE hay, and I have their pellets back on the size they were, and they still eat hay well. 🙂 Those extroverted personalities really show character, don’t they? 😉

I got Ollie when I was 20 and in college. He’s been with me for 10 years, in 4 different homes and through the addition of 4 new pets. Our most recent move took us 6 hours from home 🙂 I went through college, grad school, and multiple jobs in that time. In 2 of my homes he even had his own room 🙂

He’s been my consistent best friend through it all. I feel like your anxiety might be getting the best of you. People have human children they move with and support and care for. It’s do-able 🙂

They sure do love those pellets! 😉 I hear you, you just can’t stay mad at those furry faces that look up at you so innocently. 😆 For the cage biting you could add in some toys for him to chew, and direct him towards them when he starts biting. Hopefully, he will stop soon!

Switching out toys and changing the set-up are definitely good ways to keep him entertained and active, although I would leave his litter box in the corner that he prefers to go in the most. Wishing you a calm bun! 😉
