Benefits of bonded pairs

Rabbits are social animals and thrive in pairs. Bonded pairs are less prone to loneliness, stress, and boredom—less of which means a longer, happier life. And when they are entertained by a companion, they are less likely to be destructive. ​

The costs for caring for two rabbits are not much different than when caring for one. The exception is veterinary bills, but pet insurance can help you plan for and reduce medical costs.

What is the bonding process

Rabbits do not instantly bond with each other. The bonding process can typically last one to four weeks. Skirmishes are not unusual as they work out their relationship, so the initial stages of the bonding process requires supervision. Once bonded, they do not require this daily supervised time.

If you are thinking about adopting a companion for your rabbit, contact us to schedule a "bunny date" where you can bring your rabbit to meet our rescued residents. We can help match a resident whose personality compliments your rabbit's personality. We also advise and can guide you through the bonding process.
