Re: Need helppppp!!

Its never too late to get a companion! As long as he is neutered? Get him a neutered female roughly the same age from a rescue there are an estimated 33,000 rabbits looking for loving homes. Theres loads of stunning bunnies at Rabbit Rehome - Adopt an unwanted bunny from a rescue centre and a really good forum there with a rabbit in need section (rabbits looking for homes) Rescues will help you bond the buns or do it for you too.

If you decide to get him a rescued bunny she will already be spayed and vacc' and been health checked. if not makesure you leave him a good 8 weeks, male buns stay fertile for a while after!

Re: Need helppppp!!

hi ive added older rabbits with younger ones and vise versa before - some will get on some wont...... you just need to make sure you introduce them slowly - i would personally look at getting one around the same sort of age since hes been on his own for so long he might not tolerate a youngster..... keep us posted......
