Hello! Can anybody help us with advice?
So we are trying to bond our two male and female rabbits.
(They are both Spayed and Neutered for a long time)
We did the stress bonding where we drive with them on the car and then put them on a small card box
What we think is happening is that both the male and female are trying to be the dominant one.
We had them in that card box with hay and giving them water for about 9 hours but they didn't progress a lot because the male tried to mount her a couple of times and the female always fought back. When the male tries to approach her she grunts to him and he gives up.
The relationship seemed more strong over time but then he tries to mount her again and then everything repeats but a little worse.
Any tips for better relationship between them and break this cicle? We were afraid to try to increase the space since they still fight a couple of times. It's not a lot majority they ignore each other and lay down like the first picture but later they did like the second picture but then another fight occured.
Now we were a little afraid about the fights so we separated them at night. Should we try again? If so how do we try it?
Thank you
