Well let this be a warning to other ppl who are trying to bond rabbits, just because your rabbit is a complete sweetie, gives kisses to you and lets you cuddle him, does not mean he will be a sweetie to another rabbit!
I tried to introduce Oreo and Buddy and my sweet little Oreo was not so nice to Buddy. Buddy went into the submissive position right away and explored Oreo. Oreo didn't like that at all. There was a fight. Fur flew and the two rabbits were in some sort of roll. Good thing I had oven mitts.I seperated them right away. Both are okay. Buddy is a little scared. I examined them thoroughly by running my hands over them and then visually inspecting them. I tried to calm Buddy down as best as I could. Gave him cilantro and pet him for an hour.
Now I feel so sorry for trying to introduce them because of how scared Buddy is.
So it looks like we might be keeping the two pairs seperate. Which is finewith me. I was always fully prepared to do this right from the start. Unless more experienced members advise me differently, I don't think I will be attempting the introduction again.
