Hi. So I will be bringing in another female rabbit 6 months old, she was mainly an outdoor rabbit kept separated from the other male rabbit same age (I was told so). They both are not fixed or vaccinated.
My Smokey is 3 months old today she's also not sprayed. She is a good rabbit a bit defensive and can bite my hand when I am entering her space or when she's hungry. She get's scared pretty easily and don't like changes I am doing to her cage, last week she got very stressed and was digging her boxes whole night and felt very guilty after that probably she thought I will punish her. I just said I didn't like what she did because I just did big weekly cleaning day before and her cage and around everything was in need of a great cleaning again. Her cage was literally looking like one big litter box and she was scared of it herself I think. So I've cleaned it and gave her some treats she looked very quiet and guilty and was very nice and respectful when I came back home today, and it was not only for food, but she wanted me to touch her and only after that went to her bowl. Nice!
It is about 5 weeks she's with me, I think she likes me but don't like changes and I am always changing something and it irritated her, she also was a bit stressed after Leo tried to mate her so I placed her cage where they can't see each other and covering the other cage while one of the rabbits is out of cage. I am not sure what I will do next probably will keep them isolated until they will be fixed and a few weeks after then will try to bond them hopefully they can use the same cage as a base I don't want to keep them jailed for life.
So, there are people moving abroad and can't take their rabbits with them, so I am going to re-home a girl, 6 months. I've never met her but from photo she looks a bit scared too, but also curious, it is hard to judge of course, we'll watch and see, hopefully she'll want to go with me. She's a beauty, looking a bit like Siamese cat, blue-eyed, there's something about her character in these pictures I guess. Hopefully she will like me too.
Just got a text from the people where she is now that I can come for her tomorrow, very excited and a bit scared myself for all the responsibility I am taking for my rabbits so had to share it apologise for so many words!
What was the question? I am making a place for her and going to keep her separately for a week or so so she hopefully will take me in and will make herself comfortable in her new home. Or should I introduce her to Smokey immediately and see if they get along well place them together? I know they are both females unsprayed but also quite young 3 months and 6 months, any suggestions appreciated! Thank you!
