I have two rabbits. The male is about 8-9 months old, and the female is 10-12 months old.
I've unsuccessfully tried to bond them. They end up fighting, and biting each other with fur flying around.
The male is neutered, the female is not spayed.
I plan on getting her spayed soon, in 3-4 months.
She is territorial in her cage, and bites you if you put your hand in her cage.
My first question is, will getting her spayed reduce her biting & aggressive urges?
If she becomes calm as a result of the surgery, would I have a higher chance of bonding them again, or do they already hate each other now?
They've lived together in the same room for 2 months, but in separate cages. They see each other and are probably used to each others odor by now.
Will they become depressed if they are living alone in their cage? Do they need another rabbit living with them for company, like cuddling or licking each other?
They get daily exercise, and human interaction (petting, grooming) for at least 3 hours every day. Plus, they are in my bedroom, so I'm with them at least 10 hours everyday in the same room.
