Adopting another Rabbit2007-11-24 21:57:25

I was wondering what are some consequences if I don't get another rabbit? I already have one, but I'm afraid he might get lonely because they are social animals. Also, what other places could I get a rabbit. I don't want to get one from a petstore and the humane society doesn't have any rabbits. Also I know about the House Rabbit Society. Are there any other places in GA?

Answers:

Think of buying another rabbit as an 'added luxury' to the one you already have. It wont be unhappy without company, but if you so get another one, it will just have someone to play with. If you are devoted to your current rabbit, and have enough time to care for and play with it a lot, you dont need to buy another one.

There are no consequences, I had a single rabbit for 8 yrs. He was healthy and always friendly and playful. Unless you really want another rabbit, save yourself from more work.

I don't think that you need another rabbit. If you put a rabbit with another rabbit, they could easily fight. Only littermates are really good when it comes to rabbits. As long as you let your rabbit out for at least 20 minutes each day, and you play with it, your rabbit should be fine!

Accually I Would Say Its Easier To Have Only 1 Rabbit. I Have 2, But Its A LOT of work. And It Depends Really, Because If you have a male bunny right now, you cant put a male rabbit in with him, and unless you want baby bunnies, then you dont want a female either. If you have a female, you may not want to put another female, because they will fight. And as I said you may not want babies so you might not want a male and a female. Males Will Definatly Fight. But Females MAY Not , Ussually They do. I Have 2 Males. But They Are in Differant Cages. But No, There Arent Any Consequences.

You don't have to get a second rabbit to keep your first rabbit happy. In fact, rabbits don't always get along with each other. They are very very social animals, complete with a social hierarchy. Sometimes they can't work out dominance with each other or are just more aggressive about their territory and they won't ever be friends and can actually hurt each other. Having said that, I have one bonded male/female pair and one female/female pair that I am bonding a male into. The girl from the male/female pair is highly aggressive and has even severely injured one of the other girls before when I was trying to bond them all together.
