Hi everyone,
Im writing with complete fear. I recently had a rabbit play date with my friends rabbits, she has 2 (boy and girl), i have two (also boy and girl). Alfie and Evie are mine. I didn't think Alfie and her male would get along well so i left Alfie in his hutch and took Evie out the front of the house which is a numeral location. Evie and her female bunnies met, we did it very very slowly with wires in-between and it went very well, no aggression.
Anyway, I then put Evie back into the hutch after my friend had left, thinking nothing of it. I came out an hour later and saw chunks of fur all over the cage. I was beyond stressed and checked them both, they were sitting with each other and seemed *okay*, I then split them up and put her in a playpen and him in the existing hutch to let them cool down. I let them sit for about an hour and then came out to re-introduce them. Well, they were lunging at each other and biting and I shoved my hand in to keep them apart, got a bite on my hand up that's not the point. I start crying immediately as these two NEVER showed any aggression at all.
They're 4 and 5 year old lop bunnies that i rescued from the shelter, they've never had any troubles at all.
Please please please help me, im beside myself.
Thank you.
