Hello,
i have two rabbits, zuko (male, about 6 months) and Yuumi (female, about 1 year). They are both spayed/neutered. I’ve been bonding them since end of January.
last week, I tried having them live together in a small area in my room. I was home for my 2 day weekend so I was able to keep a close eye on them. There was no fighting or aggressive behaviour during that 48 hour period and there was a lot of grooming, cuddles and binkies. My husband was home with them all day for another extra day and we decided they were okay to be left alone after that (we do have a camera over their enclosure)
after 1 week in the small area in my room, I really wanted to move them to the original area I wanted them to stay at. It is a different area in my room but more spacious (ideally I want them to free roam once they get to that point). Day 1 of being in a new area there was no problem, evening of day 2 my husband had to break up a fight. No one was injured just a little bit of fur pulling. After the fight they went back to grooming each other and laying beside each other. I kept an eye on them until I went to bed, in the morning they got into another fighT. I had to break it up and they were fine again afterwards. I have to go to work but husband is home today.
Should I leave them together today? I will for sure put a barrier between them when husband and I are both at work because I don’t trust them right now.
Also any ideas on what to do? Is it the new space that’s causing them to fight?
