I am in the process of bonding Arthur (3ish Dwarf) with Morgan (3+ish Lop). Things are going ok. Not amazing but no major fighting. They're living in mirrored pens and they switch pens every day. No territory droppings. They go on dates (car rides) and sometimes hang out in neutral territory. But I'm running into the same issue in every situation. Arthur is going after Morgan's ears. They are floppy, which he hasn't encountered before. He will lick down until the very tip then he will nip her. It happens almost every time (though sometimes he grooms the top of her head or her back and leaves her ears alone). She can't relax around him and won't groom him back and I am afraid to let him groom her. Do rabbits discriminate against different types of ears?! How on earth do I even go about dealing with this? Any experience/suggestions?!
