Similar boat, after our first rabbit passed away we decided to rescue a bunny to be a partner for our second rabbit, who was still only 4, when the first moved on. He was 8, and had a few serious medical events after a rough patch with seizures, and he was on weekly antibiotic injections for two years.
Rescue bunny is a big new Zealand red eyed white, who is very picky, blind, and anxious. After a few tough months where we had to segregate the house, we managed to bond them but he has never been all that relaxed around humans or tolerant of grooming, nail trimming, etc etc.
He’s now 3.5 years old, we adopted him at 9 months. This month he’s started letting us pick him up without struggling (for nail trims), started flopping while being pet/near us, and is all around a lot less anxious (except for scary things like dogs, birds, and loud noises - he is almost completely blind I think).
They’re just such sweet animals once they form a relationship with you, but most people don’t “speak” rabbit love as easily as they “speak” dog or cat love. Nothing better than our little lady running to my feet every morning when I get up, and grooming my legs every time I sit on the floor!





Gee thanks for the alternative
