Harpmom,
I am so pleased that you are rescuing a rabbit and that Twinkles will soon have a bunny friend! That is a wonderful thing you are doing for BOTH rabbits.
Oddly enough in my 5 years of rabbit rescue work I am guessing 1/3 of our rescues are from 4-H kids getting bored with their bunnies and abandoning them.....it really makes me wonder about the program and the parents of these kids who let them turn a domesticated rabbit loose. I know, I know, not all 4-H'ers are like that but I also know that we end up rescuing a lot of former 4-H rabbits.
Bonding Twinkle with the new bunny most likely will take a lot of patience unless, as you hope, they do the unusual and immediately fall in love. I've had a few bondings like that, but I've also had one bonding took 12 weeks (and it was a boy-girl bonding which should have been the easiest!). And Wolfchan did give you great advice about reading the bonding link in the House Rabbit Society website.![]()
Good luck, please keep us informed of how it goes and yes, do post some more pictures, Twinkle is such a handsome boy.
