Rabbits are happiest living in pairs. While they love and enjoy human companionship, there are certain social needs that even the most loving pet parents can never completely fulfil.
Rabbits living in bonded pairs are generally healthier than singly kept rabbits. They experience less stress, have stronger immune systems, and have longer life spans on average. But does having a bonded pair take away from the human-animal bond? How much more will it cost? Should I bond my current household rabbit? Read on to find out!
Bonded rabbits and the human-animal bond
The pair will rely on each other for most things, such as emotional companionship, but there are a few things that only you can do! Brushings, bunny massages, and giving them their favourite snacks will all support a healthy human-animal relationship!
Consider the costs
While bonded rabbits share everything from their litterbox, to toys, food and water, and housing pen, there is still an added cost to consider. You will need to plan on using additional hay, food, and litter pellets.
