Arg, so things at my house are not going so great with the bunnies -- namely Zoey.
Mocha and Zoey consistantly have scraps but it's fairly easy to remedy (I need to split them up for a few minutes for them to calm down). Well yesterday they were out in the run and I was cleaning cages. They were happy for the 7 hours I was outside near them so I figured they wouldn't fight. I went into the garage to do some thing and when I came back out, there was a bunch of clumps of Zoey's fur in the run and only traces of Mocha's. I went into the run and found that not only did Mocha pull her fur out, he also bit her ear. :shock: She now has a little notch in the left ear. They have been fine since I put them back together -- I'm pretty sure it's because Zoey gets pretty territorial when she can see Chase running, so now I have to be careful to block them from view.
On top of that, Zoey has gotten pretty bad. I was trying to catch her to put her into her hutch a few days ago and she got so agressive that she started lunging at me, clawing at me, biting me... and she even so so bad that she went after Mocha (she NEVER does that, it's always Mocha going after her). So I'm not trying to retrain her to go into the carrier. She has not been at all agressive towards me since because I have been using treats to lure her into the carrier and haven't had to pick her up since. It's working pretty good but it's just so time consuming right now, I already barely have any free time as it is.
ARG is all I have to say.
