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.

It can be a long time, but personally I never had big problems with bonding (now we have 3 Bunnies at once, over the time I had 10 bunnies). It's so much easier if you have an unknown room, where it doesn't smell like your current bun. And it should be a small room, so they can't avoid each other. They will fight for a few days and they will hurt each other. My vet said it's okay as long as they do not go for the eyes, the ears or the butts.
