So for the past week and a half I have been slowly trying to bond my two neutered males, both just over a year old.
I started off by doing dates upstairs in my room in the evenings, they went fantastic, both buns were totally chilled out, grooming/eating/laying with eachother. They were probably spending up to 5hours together in my room, which got to the point that I could leave them unsupervised.
I decided to buy new hutches and runs a couple of weeks ago and made the decision that I would move them in together (I bought two of the same hutches/runs and connected them with a runaround connection kit). I moved them in one of the hutches/runs together and blocked the access of the other for now, but one of the rabbits started chasing the other and pulling his fur out. When they are in the hutch itself, they are fine. But in the run, he starts the chasing. I don't know what to do because the one getting chased feels like he can't do anything.
FYI everything is brand new in their new home, run floor was scrubbed before I built the new hutches and runs.
Do I just leave them to it and just make sure no injuries happen? Is it actually normal what they are doing?
