I had the same dilemma when I lost Kodi, I hated seeing Rascal so sad. About a week later I had a good look at a beautiful bun in PAH, again I was in there buying some stuff for my lot. The woman there must have got so sick of me and questions about this bun, but she suggested that if I already have 2 females why not try him with them! So thats what I did, and they are great together. I had already checked the local rescues for a female the same sort of age as him and there wernt any females, only males.
Glad you gave him a great home with you, a friend for him and a friend for Rosie 
Kodi was a PAH bunny. Rascal is my RSPCA rescue. My other 5 are all from small pet shops(4 from the same one) although I found the breeder of my New Zealands and I think I know who bred the Nethies.
I think its only natural to get them from pet shops, particualary when rescues make it so damn difficult to home a bun, they shouldnt just give you one, but they need homes for all these thousands of bunnies, so shouldnt they be encoraging people to get what they need so they can have a bun, not just turning them away? If I hadn't have faught to get Rascal, he could still be one that needed a home now, or living in solitary - this bun that would kill any other that you put him with

Oh what a surprise
you like pet shops too because they make it so easy for just anyone to buy a poor baby bun and do what they want with it.
Rescues dont rescue buns to just let them go to a home where they will not have the accomodation they need, do you like the fact many PAH rabbits are shoved in 3ft hutches and eventually forgotten about or dumped on a rescue? I know many rescues that as long as you can prove the buns will get exercise everyday and you have appropriate accomodation they will rehome to you, ive done homechecks myself on people for a rescue.
You buy a petshop bunny another one will be straight in its place and what kind of home will that bun get?? Petshops are the cause of so many problems due to their shockingly bad advice. While people still insist on giving them business and impulse buying these bunnies will continue to suffer.
I really despair sometimes.
Kammie this is not a go at you, i know how gorgeous the PAH bunnies are, im glad you have a lovely bunny that you want.
