I have two bonded bunnies who were bonded a year ago. The bonding process went extremely well and they became great friends to the extent that they barely leave each others side. This morning I put the bunnies out in the run and the buck (the dominant partner) began binkying and then chasing the doe around at top speed -obviously she was running away from him at top speed too then they would stop and the buck would then sit and rest a few minutes and then the chasing would start again. I watched them a while and there was no sign of attack from the buck - i.e. when the chasing stopped he didn't bite or launch himself at the doe but the doe would dash into the bolthole to hide from him. My husband thinks this is the bunnies playing together and burning their energy and I'm inclined to agree but just wanted to check if you thought this sounded like viciousness -this chasing game has never happened before - today is the first time I've ever seen it. What are your thoughts?
