Some of you may have read my post about my dogs last month. They were fighting and I couldn't control it. Long story short, we ultimately had to re-home the aggressive female. It was an agonizing decision, but she is in a wonderful place now.
The two dogs lived outdoors, but now that Casey is alone, I decided to bring him indoors. He's really sweet and good in the house.
The rabbits thumped non-stop the first day or so. They seem to have calmed down now, but still get alarmed when he barks (not very often). He is a very gentle dog and pays no mind to the rabbits. I send him outside for their playtime so they will be more comfortable.
I keep his things (towel, rug, etc.) in the kitchen. The bunnies don't usually go in there, but naturally now they are curious, so they go in there and sniff his stuff. I think somebunny peed on his towel last night. I'm worried about a "marking war" now.
Is there anything else I could do to make the rabbits feel morecomfortable during this adjustment period?
Sorry for the long post!
