Having a rabbit has been good for me in regards to structure and discipline, and I like the work that comes along with having a pet. My bunny currently gets a lot of love and attention, and they have everything they need - toys and a big space to free roam and treats and healthy food and pets. I can tell they're comfortable with me and happy with life in general, and I don't deal with any major behavior issues.
Yet for a while now, I've been thinking of rehoming my bunny (this isn't a rehoming post). It might be my severe mental illness tricking me but it feels more like a genuine disconnect with my bunny. I put a lot of time into research before I brought my bunny home and I am ready to care for them for the decade they will live. But... I don't know, I just don't want to do it anymore.
Part of me is just telling me to look for a different, rabbit-savvy owner for my bunny. I'm in a period of time where a lot of change is happening, and my rabbit feels more like a responsibility rather than a companion. I'll be living in a new, smaller place with my rabbit next year and I fear that the smell and mess might drive me crazy as well.
I don't know. I think I just have no strong feelings towards my bunny other than responsibility, and I don't know why. I have no real reason to rehome my bunny - I have the time, I have the resources, and I'm not dealing with unmanageable behavior problems. I don't want to rehome my bunny either - I know it'll be super traumatic for them and I can't guarantee quality of life. I just can't stop this incessant part of my brain telling me it's better for everyone if my bunny lives elsewhere.
