Yep! When I was a teenager I got a bunny called Chuckles, but I was worried he was lonely so we got Chloe for him to snuggle with. Sadly Chuckles died when he was 11, I'm confident I gave him a happy life, he had to have an operation on his leg but sadly didn't come round from the anesthetic, we knew it would be a risk but we had to try. I took it pretty hard. Chuckles was incredibly affectionate to me. He would love to spend his time sat on my lap while I brushed him softly... Chloe and Joey DO NOT like the brush! Lol

But after that I didn't want Chloe to get lonely so I got Joey who will be 3 this year to keep her company

Chloe is what some would call an old timer now but you would not know it from watching her play and run. She can't keep up with Joey but she's always one step behind him

She's only 3 years off the world record. Well done Chloe

I'm so sorry to hear that Chuckles died. My rabbit is going to be neutered on Tuesday. I'm hoping he'll be ok, he's only 6 months old and I want him around for many years to come.

Re: Happy Birthday Chloe! (pics!)

It can be nerve wracking having to hand your baby over to the vet. I can't remember much about Chloe being spayed but I remember taking Joey in to be neutered... When I brought him home he was sooooooo groggy. I just let him lay on a blanket and made sure he drank and ate something. By the next day he was moving around again and after 2 days he was completely his normal self.
It is worrying and I'm no expert, but I think the most important thing you can do afterwards is make sure he eats and drinks, and does droppings and has a wee wee.

I imagine you will need to take him back to the vets after a day for a check too. I was lucky, Joey was more interested in sleeping than licking his stitches/scar.

Will be thinking of your bunny on Tuesday!
