So my husbands friend bought a rabbit I don't know how long ago 1month?, and I have been to there house twice and she was just in the smallest little cage sitting on newspaper with an empty water and food dish. Both times I filled the bowls up. The third time I went over there they told me they hated the rabbit and were never getting pets ever again and that they were going to sell it but couldn't find someone. I saw the rabbit with no food and water AGAIN and i just told them I would take it temporarily till we found another home. so now I have another rabbit, mini rex. its "temporary"/maybe for real if she didn't hate JP (the holland lop I already have)
They are both female. JP was spayed ten days ago (I know shes not fully recovered and shouldn't be goin nuts with this bunny but I am trying) and this new bunny that her old owners didn't even name is young, not full grown, here are their pictures. We named the new girl Trudi.
JP, almost 6 month old holland lop
Trudi, 3ish month old mini rex
SO my question is, can I bond these two bunnies, or am I stupid for trying because Trudi isn't spayed and too young to be spayed, and probably a hormonal teenager.
They are in a divided cage and they sniff each other through the bars and when I brought Trudi home she just stayed in her cage sniffing JP through bars for two days. Today I put them together and JP runs up to Trudi and won't leave her alone, jumping on top of her, sniffing her butt, and trudi got mad and starting biting, and they had a run in circles fight until i broke it up. SO I was like forget that, and I put a gate up and trudi had the kitchen and JP had the living room. JP has been using this gate for 5 months and shes never jumped it but when I did this, JP started thumping her foot which shes never done, and after ten minutes she jumped over it and trudi was so scared, I have never seen a rabbit so scared she ran to her poop box so fast and I got her back in her cage. It seems like JP wants to be friends, but also dominant. and Trudi is just so scared and skitish of her. JP lays by Trudis cage this is how they have been a lot today.
any advice would be great, or if I just can't bond them since trudis not spayed just tell me im dumb!
