lagomorphed

Most of my rabbits over the past decade have been free range, but only one of them ever hopped into my bed with me. She was a 4 pound english spot mix, but I never worried too much because she would normally sleep on my pillow. She never peed in my bed or outside her litterbox in general unless she was super mad at "that rabbit over there" in which case they have amazing aim.

Hi Alex! I just really want to say thank you SO MUCH for all that you guys do at the Pipsqueakery!!! I'm a longtime rabbit butler and have only recently dipped into guinea pigs - my girl is from one of your rescues in NJ who came out of a major hoarding situation. Sadly her sister/friend also from that group passed last week, but I've since learned she's not the first NOR most recent from the group to have gone unexpectedly, which is terrifically sad. I'll be the first to admit that rabbits are my area of 'expertise' so to speak, but I'm being pressured by other pig parents to adopt another companion for her right away... even going so far as to say it's not morally or ethical to have a single. To be fair, I'm still grieving Bubbles and given the mortality rate that seems to be happening in this group, I kinda want to get a feel for if my girl is going to live another month before trying to bring in another friend. What's your perspective on this? Is it okay to keep her single for a little bit or is it completely unethical to keep her alone? Her pen is in one of my rabbits' rooms so she's able to see and "chat" with him and I'm in that room several hours a day.
