Hello everyone!
My wife and I just recently picked up a 9 week old Holland Lop (Pumpkin) and was wondering if it will be difficult introducing her to our 10 month old Dwarf Lop (Bonnie) that is already spayed.
I've search everywhere online but nothing speaks of at least 1 rabbit being fixed. It's mostly all or none when they talk about bonding rabbits. I know the best course of action is to have two fixed rabbits but that would take until November the earliest when the new rabbit reached 6 months.
Right now both rabbits are in their cages next to each other. As first sight Bonnie seemed to be a little annoyed because when we released her to walk around the house she started pooing around the new bunnies cage. It's like she's telling her that this is her territory. I think that's normal so I'm not worried about that.
We plan to leave the cages beside each other for a week and try to introduce them in a neutral location. I read someplace that a bathtub would work because if there was some sort of fight they couldn't get enough grip if they were on a rug.
Anyway, any thoughts and/or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you!
John
