Bonding
Many animals, including rabbits, are happiest with a friend of their own species. They speak the same language and provide company, support, and a playmate. Bonding rabbits is a process and we’re happy to share our best tips and tricks!
A friend for your rabbit?
Rabbits often enjoy having a friend. They understand the unspoken quiet moments between them like no others can. They provide companionship and emotional comfort to each other that is unparalleled. This is especially important if you have a shy rabbit who does not engage as much with their human family. This rabbit personality generally prefers to spend their life with a rabbit buddy. Having a rabbit friend is also important if the humans in the home work long hours, leaving the rabbit home alone a lot. Rabbits do get bored and lonely even though it looks like they just sleep all day! Boredom can also be a recipe for destruction (RIP baseboards!). A friend can help that.
However, if someone is home all day, and the rabbit prefers being around people, then finding a rabbit friend is more a choice of the family. Rabbits who spend a lot of time with their humans, or with a companion of another species such as a cat friend, can thrive in their homes.
If you decide you would like to look for a friend for your rabbit, remember that bonding rabbits is not always an easy process and takes time and patience. We’ve put together some tips to help families with bonding.

Rabbits and other animals
What about rabbits with other animals? It is possible to have rabbits live with both cats and dogs. It is important to watch closely any time you have predator animals with your rabbit. If your cat scratches or bites your rabbit it can be very dangerous and you will need to see a vet as soon as possible. Cat scratches and bites should be considered an emergency.
