The French Lop babies are almost 9 weeks old, and the Cals are almost 8. Would there be any potential problems with putting them all in the Xpen together? Or would there be a bunch of fighting among them?

Last night I put 4 of the smallest Flops in a cage, and left the 3 bigger ones together. The plan is to keep them separated at night and back together again during the day (they're out all day, in the Xpen). Right now the Cals have hardly been getting out at all, which isn't fair to them.
 
Well, that little experiment failed. I think. They were all hopping around, checking things out...as usual. Then one of them (I think Heifer, but could have been Opie) started chasing one of the Cals (and no clue which one. lol). Then all of them were chasing each other. I'm not sure if it was a bunny "Hello, let's play" or not, but pulled the Cals out for now. I'll try again later, once the other 7 wear themselves out.

I didn't get many pictures, but heading back down shortly. Still need a good one of Heifer. Anyway...

Worn out sounds like a good time. Maybe pull the other ones out if there's trouble again, so no group thinks the pen is theirs.
