My hope for them was always that I would be able to unite them again in pairs and adopt two out together and keep the two that have had abcesses. With one of the four passed away and one who will be ready for adoption in a few weeks (hopefully), I’ll be left with two bunnies who can never be with each other.
I know bunnies are social and I know they’ll need more time with me, but what else can I do to help them? How do I divide their room? Will they be miserable if they can see each other but can’t cross the barrier? My current idea is that I can find a way to divide the room in two and just let them each have their own side, but I’d hate to make them feel more lonely when they can’t actually be with each other. The closest they could get would be a gate.
I don’t know how much longer T-Shirt has left but I hate the idea of him being so lonely forever! I also don’t know what to do for Harry since I can’t afford to keep a third rabbit long-term and I don’t want to adopt him out due to his medical history either. I’m uncomfortable with the idea of the issues cropping up and the new owner not knowing what to do since his case has been so weird.
I could afford the food and toy costs, but if a medical emergency were to come up for all 3 at the same time, I just couldn’t do it. I’m barely keeping my head above water with their current medical bills but I’ve made it happen.
The vet says the concern isn’t that they’ll share an illness or something, but that even the tiniest scratch when playing and grooming can lead to an abscess in either of them since they infection is systemic.
I just don’t see many options for them but I’d love to hear from anyone else who’s been in a similar position
