BEHAVIOR
By Christine
We know that your rabbit’s physical and emotional wellbeing is one of your priorities so let us help you figure out if being an only bunny can make your pet lonely.
Being social creatures, rabbits appreciate constant companionship. They do so much better when they’re in pairs or with a group, so your fur baby can become lonely living alone.
Your rabbit won’t eat
Your pet indulges in fur-pulling
Your rabbit stops grooming himself
Your normally active bunny becomes lethargic
Your rabbit displays destructive behaviors
If your bunny is typical of its kind, it will need companionship so it won’t get lonely. As such, you have the following options.
Giving your pet a bunny to bond with is the ideal solution if you see that your rabbit is becoming lonely. We recommend that you choose one who’s of the same age as your pet but of the opposite gender.
If you don’t want to take care of two rabbits, but you have other pets, you can try if your bunny will respond to their companionship. We’ve heard stories of cats, dogs, and other animals bonding with rabbits.
An only bunny will ultimately rely on you for companionship if he doesn’t have an animal buddy. Showering your rabbit with plenty of attention and affection can help drive the blues away
