Hi! We have 1 black dutch rabbit, 7 months old, going for his snip thursday. We just got an 8 week old black 'mixed' bunny, also male. Right now they are kept apart, although they can see and smell each other through the wire pens. I let them out to roam the house at different times so the older one doesn't spend his time humping and bullying the younger one. Our 8 month dutch, Oreo, spends his free time circling the young BlackTim's pen, dropping poos the whole time. Oreo always uses his litterbox for all pee and most poos, at least he did until the young BlackTim came into the house. BlackTim spends his free time exploring all around w/o much time spent peering in at Oreo.
A few questions:
1. Will the snip stop Oreo's trying to hump and bully BlackTim?
2. How old must BlackTim be before he gets his snip?
3. How soon after the snip do you think we could let Oreo and BlackTim share a home? Right now Oreo has a 3 level converted dog crate and BlackTim has a smaller one level X-pen. Ideally we would like them to get along together and share the 3 level dog crate and roam together at playtime. Do we need to wait until BlackTim has had his snip too?
Any help, advice, experience would be most helpful and appreciated!
