So I haven never bonded two rabbits, so I am by no means an expert.
I have had my neutered male, Wolfie, for over three years now and he's over 3 years old. He has shown that he really wanted a buddy, and me and my best friend accidentally bonded our rabbits over the summer. Unfortunately, there was no way we could keep them together, and since then I've been working up and trying to find a buddy with him, and then Creature was born and there was no way I was not getting him.
Long story short I have the two of them, Creature is probably around 3-4 months and will be neutered as soon as he's old enough. Wolfie seems to be vey excited but awkward and tries to play with Creature by chasing him or play lunging at him. It seems aggressive but he's not.. One question I have is Wolfie will sometimes slowly (for him) go to bite at Wolfie but he holds his mouth open and shows his teeth a little?
Also Creature is a drama KING and will run and grunt and thump away whenever Wolfie chased him (understandable). Lately though Wolfie has been a lot more patient and been focusing more on food and they have been less than a foot away for at least five minutes without any issues (Creature was obviously still quite alert but he sniffed near Wolfie and was fine). Finally Wolfie will go to sniff back at him and Creature throws a TANTRUM as if Wolfie were chasing him at top speed. He also has run in circles as if he were trying to get away from Wolfie while Wolfie just sat there. Creature slammed into Wolfie as well.., and then kept running. I've been having them out at small, supervised increments of time now that Wolfie has calmed down a bit so creature can chill too. Should I keep doing that? Or am I just traumatizing creature? Any suggestions or comments or tips would be appreciated!!
