I read that when bonding two rabbits you are supposed to let them do whatever as long as it isn't to the point of a bunny fight.
I've been letting my bunnies smell each other through the bars of their kennels. When they are doing this they do sometimes try and claw at each other but it is so brief that there is little time to correct it (I've been using a spray bottle). If they claw at each other and back down quickly is that still a 'fight'? What qualifies as a full blown fight?
They haven't dome much when I have them out of the cage together (maybe from fear?) but Winston (the bigger/older one) nips Poplar on the head and runs at him a bit. How do I know when it's a fight and when it is just asserting dominance? Is a spray bottle the best way of getting them apart?
