Hi all,
I currently have 2 bunnies and I am wondering if they are happy with each other?. The bonding seemed to go well back in February. Not many fights and some dominance displayed but that soon settled down. Now 2 months on I am not sure they are happy. I can hear from my bedroom sudden chases around the cage (doesn't last long but it is loud) and that happens quite a few times a day. Never when I am around to see so I am not sure who it is - the Male or the female.
I do sometimes see little bits of fur in the cage and it looks like the female rabbits fur but when I go in, they are usually sitting with each other and nothing is phasing them.
I dont know whether this behaviour is normal or whether they dont get on? Both were adopted from different places. I am starting to think one should go and try the bonding again with another rabbit but my partner doesn't want to. I want what's best for both of them so wondering if it's normal or need to accept they wont work.
I also have a massive issue with the female not wanting me to be near the Male and if I stroke him she will growl and try to go for me to ward me off.
It really isn't how I expected to have rabbits especially with how she behaves towards me.
I want what's best for them both so any advice on the behaviour would be appreciated!!
