  How long does it take for a bunny to forget her owner?? I need to know cause in 1,5 year I might be going away for 4 or 5 months (for studies) and I believe that my bunny will forget me completely. I will leave her at my parents and they will take care of her. I know it’s waaaay too soon to talk about that but it gets me worried anyway..Did any of you had to leave your bunny for such a long time? Do you believe it will ever be possible to rebond or it will mess up our relationship?

  Funny. I was actually just thinking about this today based on my own experience.
  
  In june last year, I got Molly from another family. She had lived 3 years of her life with that family. Mostly spent all her life in a small cage and hardly ever being let out. She would actually bite them now and then.
  
  I kept contact with the family and in december, 6 months later, they came to see her. Molly loves company and is the first one to greet strangers in our house. However, when the family came in and sat down by Molly, she panicked. She kept thumping and she was hiding, which I have never seen her do. She was clearly very upset. She didn’t relax before the family had been gone for a while.
  
  Clearly, she remembered them – and not for good things.
  
  So, yes, I believe your bunny will recognise you and remember you. And if you bond has been posiitive (unlike my example), I am quite sure she will remember you for the good stuff and you will quickly rebond.

  I’ve never really thought about that. Thanks for sharing your experience Karla. That’s very interesting.
