okay, rather new to the forum, i have 2 rabbits.a mini lop named winnie (she is about 10 months old and fixed) and anenglish lop named herman (about 4 months and not fixed yet. . .notready yet).
anyway, winnie was attempted to bond to a lionhead about 3 weeks aftershe was fixed (she was fixed at 4 months old), it didn't work out, inthe end i had a nasty bite from her and the poor 10 week old lionheadwas scared beyond reason, so the lionhead lives with a friend now andwinnie is once again alone.
i got herman a couple months ago, he was comming home with me andstaying mine if winnie bonded or not. it would be great to get thembonded and have 1 cage, and it would give them someone to play with,but what chance do i have if winnie is so aggressive to other rabbits.she also will charge the cats (i think that is more of protectingherself then just beating them up)?
i don't plan on attempting to bond them till after herman is fixed andhealed up (maybe a month after the snipping takes place). but we didtry to put them together about 1 1/2 months ago, and everything wentokay at first, then winnie started to grunt and lunged at him, takingfur out of poor herman and making him scream. . .we put them both backright then and there and haven't tried again.
do you think my doe is set on being alone? i have a few websites thathave given me ideas on bonding, but could use any advise at all!
thanks
