        Hi all,

        So I have toyed with the idea of a second bun for about as long as I have had Amelia. I know that buns do great in pairs, having a buddy is very good for them and my goal is of course a happy healthy bun. Amelia is quite bonded to me, she is never more then about 10 feet from me, follows me every where, and cuddles with me whenever I sit on the couch. She is very snugly, she climbs up on my chest and flops in my arms to be held, and gives tons of kisses. She and I have an amazing relationship even though it is a bit odd for a bun. Now she also has my dog for a buddy, he’s 4.5lbs and they romp and play all the time, and almost cuddle with each other. Amelia wants to cuddle and will groom Zilla but he’s not having it quite yet and will leave. All and all I think Amelia is quite happy here with us. She always has someone to interact with, she is always playing with Zilla, my husband or me, and if she not playing she usually sitting with one of us. She binkis all the time (even starting to again now that she’s getting her balance back), and honks at my husband and I when we come back in the room she’s in if we have been gone.

        Here are my concerns, the last thing that I want to do is change the bond that she has with my husband, Zilla or me. Second is that Zilla has really just settled in to us having her, he is medical alert service dog and his relationship with me is very important, it’s how he does his job. Then my final concern is the health issues that Amelia has had over the past couple weeks. She is recovering from very mild head tilt that was caused by either an inner ear infection or EC. She is on her 11th day of treatment for both and is just about her old self again. She has the occasional balance issue, but only is she is doing something silly on a slippery floor and she has between a 5-10degree tip to the right. Because of this I don’t know if it would be a good idea to bond her to another rabbit.

        I’m just looking for some opinions, there is a high probability I will see her breeder this weekend, and if I get a second it’s gonna be another angora….

        Thank you guys so much for reading a weighing in ?

          Well I’m a very big advocate for having bunnies in pairs. I don’t think it would effect your bond with her. She won’t suddenly forget the love she has with you My Buttercup is just as affectionate if not more since bonding with Peanut.

            Yeah I’m currently working on the husband, but he hasn’t told me no ?

            And of course I will have to see if there is a bun who speaks to me when I’m at the fiber festival on Saturday. I just want to be sure I’m firm in my decision of what I’m doing before I get there.
