Hello there! I own one bunny who I spend a lot of time with. He is very shy and lets me pet him only when he is eating. Based on the common bonding behaviors, I believe he is bonded with me, however.
I don't have an issue with him not being comfortable with me petting him but I was just wondering if this is something I could work with him on. He is also kept with another rabbit (both of them are neutered) but the other will sometimes chase him around their exercise pen (in an aggressive way) whenever there is food around (please note that they are siblings and have been together for about two years. The other bunny has never hurt my rabbit). I'm not sure if the other rabbit (my brother's) is what is causing my bunny to be timid or not. If this is the case, then I can definitely separate them.
All help is appreciated!
