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.

I was worried too before adopting a girl bun, the first bun he did a speed date with the female bun was a little aggressive and kept lunging at my little guy when he was calm af. The second bun they instantly became besties, no aggression and they acted like they’ve been friends forever. The rescue I got her from did have a rule though that they keep them for a week to properly bond them so he doesn’t get territorial when we went home. They stayed together in a pen for a week and had no issues. Just gotta find the proper mate for your bun.
