I made the decision to start selling out my rabbitry. I am going into college courses next year, my family is thinking about downsizing, and in general it just wasn’t profitable enough to do it long term. It’s been about a year and a half. I plan to sell my 2 males and 5 or 6 of my 7 females.
I talked to my mother and she said I may keep one rabbit to be a pet inside IF and ONLY IF I get it spayed and maintain their enclosure so it doesn’t smell. She said I could try two inside, but that she thought it would be much harder to have 2 and if starts to stink they’re going back outside. I will either keep Talullah and Tanana OR Charlotte. Talullah and Tanana are sisters and have been together their entire lives, so separating them is not an option. I can‘t keep all three as I can’t afford to have them all spayed, nor do I have the space for 3 indoors. So I have to choose between keeping the sisters or keeping Charlotte.
I think having one rabbit (Charlotte) will be more affordable, easier to make the space for her enclosure, easier to bond with her, easier to keep clean (not smelling), and a lot easier to watch her when she’s out to play. I also adore everything about Charlotte. Her color (sable point) is my favorite and her temperament is wonderful. She is calm and dainty and likes to sit in my lap.
Talullah and Tanana though. I think it would be nice that they have eachother, but I have a hard time watching them both, they are just all over the place. They like to run around and stuff, they are not very content to sit by me. Ever. It will also be a lot more expensive to have two. Two spays, more space, more toys, twice as much food, and twice as much poo and urine stinking up my bedroom. I feel... obligated... to keep Talullah and Tanana. They were from our first ever litter of babies. We kept them for a year, sold them when they didn’t work out for our breeding program, and where able to buy them back 5 months later (the original buyer was a liar, she bought them and sold them to someone who bred them, when we very clearly sold them NOT FOR BREEDING). I just feel a little bit like... we bought them back. They’ve been moved around so many times. I feel obligated to keep them for some reason. Like I will be letting them down to sell them again. But I also love Charlotte. I just cannot decide. It seems so simple to have a single rabbit but I feel so guilty to get rehome Lu and Nana.
what are your thoughts? I need help!
