It might be difficult to introduce a new pet to your family. There are situations where animals become instant BFFs, but it's more normal for there to be an adjustment period, and some creatures are so different they never become pals.
However, patience generally pays off. Every time my dog and cat cuddle up by the fireplace on a cold night, my heart fills!
There's still an adjustment when an animal comes to stay for a few days rather than becoming a family member. As shown below, even difficult friendships may blossom, as this Corgi, Golden Retriever, and their house guests demonstrate.
Best Bunny-Friendly Dog Breeds Not all dogs get along with other canines, let alone other species, so of course not all dogs get along with bunnies—at least not as well as Maui and Ruby do!
However, dog owners can own rabbits and vice versa. According to Rabbits.org, the dog's predatory drive is the cause.
Border Collies and Greyhounds, which have intense hunting drives, typically can't live with bunnies, especially if they're not caged. To keep everyone safe and happy, your bunny's doggie sibling should be a low-prey breed like a Golden. Proper training and socialization are also essential.
Knowing your bunny's personality will help them succeed. Rabbits that are good for dog siblings are calm and confident, according to the website. Don't stress them out with their new BFF!
Not only do dogs and bunnies need a joyful, quiet, safe home, but all critters do. Your efforts will pay off if it's important!
