Hi all
I have two mini lops Ben 8 mths old and Zoe 13 months old, both have been spayed/neutered. I had Ben first then got Zoe a few months ago from a rescue centre. I kept them seperate but close together pens for the first 6 weeks then 2 weeks ago started bonding them. They started with short dates which went really well then had extended day time together which again went well and have been sharing the same space day and night now for a week. I let them out of their secure enclosure at around 6am top up their hay then went out to give them breakfast and clean their house at 7am I noticed today when I went to to give them breakfast that tufts of Bens fur was in the outside areaI put up a video to see if I could catch what was going on in film. Can you experts out there let me know what you think. I have seperated them for now as I feel like Ben is scared of Zoe who is the dominant one. I did see her chase him away from their water bowl when he went for a drink. Is this rabbit chasing games or the start of fighting . Should I seperate them.?? Sorry also forgot to add just before the chasing, like 2 minutes before she was grooming him. I’ll try and upload the video. I’m confused I don’t know how to upload a video can anyone help with this? Also when they are chasing they make no noise, there was no circling and Zoe always chases Ben. Ahh I’m doing photos as I can’t work out videos. First one is just after Zoe groomed Ben you can see his head is down . The rest are the chase.
