Hi all! First of all, bun tax attached. Secondly, I'm not sure if I'm looking for validation or something else but here is my question.
I've had my bunny for 5 years now, he's 5, he's neutered (for some info) and our situation changed a lot over the years. In the past year or so I've been working in an office and being away from home for +/-10 hours a day during the week. When I come home, I don't usually leave again but I have like 5 hours until I go to sleep. So basically during the week my bunny gets to be alone quite a lot. He has access to the entire house and can come to the room I sleep in if he wants to, but after all he's still alone even if I'm there and sleeping.
I considered getting a second bun but I don't think I'm in the righr situation to do that, with not being at home so much and not being able to supervise the bonding process. I would be so afraid they're fighting when I'm not there. He has days when he's super active and then days when he seems bored. I try to give him as much attention and affection as I can, but I feel like he gets too little interaction for how much a bunny actually needs.
I've considered rehoming a few times due to this issue, but it breaks my heart everytime I think about it. At the same time, I feel like I'm a bad owner for thinking more about my benefit of having him over his quality of life. Am I being a bad owner? Should I rehome? What would you do? Thank you!
