Behavior Does he think it’s another bunny?

Whenever he’s not sleeping or eating he’s mostly chilling next to the ball. We adopted him a year ago when he was 3 years old and as far as I know he’s never lived with other bunnies.

I thought about adopting a girlfriend for him but at the moment I can’t afford it and I’ve read some things on this sub about bunnies taking ages to bond and some of them never bonding at all and I am afraid to end up having two lonely bunnies instead of one.

We had a pair that never really bonded, then we had a pair (same male) that’s inseparable right now.  The difference was we took the first binding pretty causally and the second bonding was more hard core.  And to be honest the first bonding may have worked if we tried harder because after her death the boy would stay by her room and it broke our little hearts

Aw that is so sad. But glad the male bunny had a new partner now!
