[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone.  We are not living in DC right now so are using a different rescue - the House Rabbit Network (not HRSociety) - than 10:56, but it seems to work in a similar way.  They actually have pairs of bunnies who are already bonded who are available for adoption and also have rabbits that they recommend as good bonding mates for existing pets.  Our previous rabbit, having had a completely isolated first 4-5 yrs (no human contact exceptthat someone threw some food into her cage a couple of times a week, and no contact with other animals at all), was not a candidate for bonding, so yes, that alleviated our guilt about not having a friend for her.  It is something to think about - to get one who isn't a good candidate for bonding and then focus mainly on him or her.  Thanks for the reminder of this.

I do know that male/male and female/female pairs are not often good for each other unless bonded as babies.  For the PP who said that male/female pairs would lead to many more bunnies, the rescue actually spays/neuters so this isn't an issue.

Thanks for the feedback from people.  ALso, we are hoping our next rabbit(s) will not be (a) chewer(s) of everything (wires, furniture, etc) the way some are.  Our last one wasn't.  Do you know if there are ways to discourage chewing other than to give the rabbit tons of hay and tunnels and things to chew on in the pen?

Thanks again!
