  My mini lop needs to stay at the vets overnight so they can monitor him and they asked me if I wanted to leave my other rabbit in as well.
  
  My initial thought was no, as they quite often spend half the day in different rooms, by their own choice. And my other one hates the vets.
  
  But now i’m thinking my little guy might feel better with a bit of company since he wont be used to being in a small space.
  
  Does anyone have any recommendations as what may be best for the two of them?

  If they’re actually bonded then yes, bringing the other one to the vet will help give him company and make sure the bond doesn’t break while he’s away. If they aren’t bonded then don’t do it as it could only cause stress for both of them.

  Peanut kept Buttercup company when she had to stay at the vets. I’m not sure he’d do it by choice (lol) but I think it helped it not be so scary for Buttercup. Peanut hates new places and gets very nervous but I figured he might be just as scared if he was kept at home and Buttercup ‘disappeared’

  I always keep my buns together when taking them somewhere. Keeping them apart for too long, as noted, could break their bond, so make sure they’re within sight/smell/hearing range of one another even when they have to be physically apart (like when the vet is examining one of them).
