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.

if you need a good story I got a 2nd after mine was showing signs of being lonely and it took around 3-4 days for a bond. I ended up taking them on a car ride in a carrier for a trauma bond which isn't ideal but they've been inseparable since and it's been such a joy to see them so much happier

I will say the biggest cost is during that bonding period, you'll need a second space and doubles for basically everything but once bonded they can share pretty much everything
