I brought a new bunny home. He is a very young dwarf rabbit. I've been told he's a boy but he's too small for me to tell yet. He's definitely not neutered as he's so young.
I set up a play pen for him next to my first bunny, Kirby. Kirby is 2.5 years old and the gentlest rabbit there ever was. I just wanted to hopefully give him a friend to play with. I know it doesn't always work out but I hope they can bond one day.
This little guy is very active as I would expect from a baby. I haven't even named him yet. I don't know what his personality is like yet.
What's the best way to get them feel good about each other right now? I think that eventually he will need to go in for neutering and it might make sense to not try to bond them until then. Is that right?
Any advice for the two of them?
I've never had a baby bunny before! But I already got some alfalfa pellets and alfalfa hay in addition to the timothy hay we already have for Kirby. They have separate everything right now. But I also just discovered that the little one is so small that he fits in between the play pen fence wires:X(And therefore he can squeeze out of his area and into Kirby's!) So I need to go and get him a cage ASAP today or I won't be able to go to work tomorrow!
