Re: Will she need a friend?
Once she is spayed a neutered buck will be your best bet, buck/doe bonds normally go very smoothly
![]() If you bond at a rescue you will need to make sure that you neutrilise the hutch and run, I find a combination of white wine vinegar/bleach and hot water works best ![]()

Re: Will she need a friend?
YES!
Get her a friend! Opposite neutered genders work the best. I bought a friend for my only rabbit the other day and they get on perfectly and they are much happier together.

Re: Will she need a friend?
Thanks everyone....looks like a trip to my local rescue this weekend then! Although, they're notorious for not actually rehoming animal with ANYONE. So not holding out high hopes.

Re: Will she need a friend?
Hi I just wanted to add that spaying usually costs £60 and both vaccinations + a check up around the £30 mark, however vets do vary hugely in price, find a vet who is rabbit savvy it makes a huge difference.
It would be best to keep her indoors for a while until after she is spayed as the anesthetic lowers their heart rate which makes it harder to regulate body temperature. Also we may still get frosts into March. Getting her spayed will not only greatly improve her temperament but also as 80% of unspayed females develop uterine cancer by age something like 4, it will greatly improve her life expectancy. You will need to wait at least 4 weeks for her to make a full recovery, before introducing a neutered male. Here are some rescue centres that have rabbits in your area: Rabbit Rehome - List of Rabbit Rescue Centres with Bunnies for Adoption Some rescues may do the bonding for you and others wont. It can be a little tricky at first so if you need any tips dont hesitate to ask.

Re: Will she need a friend?
Also most hutches will need to be a minimum of 6ft for a rescue centre to rehome to you. regardless of the double height as the ramps take out a lot of space. bare this in mind when getting a hutch for her. also sheds or wendy houses work out much cheaper
