Peanut has settled in quite nicely and has bonded pretty well with me- she only likes me and nobody else. :p When my friend Katrina comes over to visit, Peanut does not want anything to do with her and nips at her to get away.
Since she has settled in and gotten accustomed to her new family, I thought it was time that I start looking around for a bunny companion for her. There are so many at the shelter where I got her, she is buddies with most of them there.
I am going tomorrow to HAWS and Elm-Brook (where Pea is from) to take a peak at all the buns there. Nothing is set in stone though.
Here are some rabbits I am particularly interested in:

There is a MUST requirement: litter trained! The bun has to already be litter trained. Neutered/spayed would also be nice, but I could have the surgery done myself if needed. Most of the rabbits are already altered, but there are a select few that aren’t. They obviously have to get along with other rabbits- otherwise there is no point in adopting the rabbit if it will not get along with Peanut.
The cage will be split in half, and they will be introduced slowly to each other. I will mainly let them get to know each other by sniffing one another through the wire. Once they seem to be ok with each other, I will allow them to mingle under supervision. I am prepared for the worse, if they do not like each other, then they will stay separated- simple as that, I refuse to take the rabbit back to the humane society.
I am not really worried about Penaut rejecting her new pal, I believe she will bond with her buddy quite fast. She is just fine with Sammy, but she attacks him when he gets to close to her food. Her papers from her owner state that she gets along fine with cats, dogs, and other animals- so I am guessing that with proper introduction there shouldn’t be a problem on her half. I am more worried about the newbie rejecting Peanut.
I just thought I would give a "rabbit update", hehe. :)
