We have always had boy bunnies and had one single old bunny (9.5 years) left. We fell in love with a girl last November at a rescue and then, in December when she still had no home we decided to take her in. We expected to keep the bunnies separate for ages as old bunny had been on his own for a year since his playmate died. In reality, the vibes became close after just 2 interactions and are now inseparable.
young bunny was finally big enough to be neutered and it’s part of the rescue agreement (boy already done so no risk but they insisted). The op for a girl bunny is a lot more traumatic than boys and she’s not been eating so was back at the vet yesterday, syringe food given and pain relief. We have had the bunnies separated as advised (cages next to each other).
She looked miserable so today we’ve put the older bunny in with her and I’m watching carefully. She’s now moving around, eating and snuggling with him… but vet said not to put them together when we’re not watching (due to stitches etc).
I can’t sit here all day watching them but feel awful separating them again. Any advice gratefully received.
