Thanks! They are absolutely adorable, and complete sweeties! I love them all.
They are all litter box trained. Their dropping go into the worm bins to build up our compost for our gardens, where where we grow the fresh greens and veggies that I feed the bunnies.
Farrah and Tidbits are 6 months old, Polvo and Amante are 4 months old, and Zamora is six weeks old.
The girls (Farrah and Tidbits) live in the courtyard at the school. They have a secure enclosure, and are let out into the yard to play supervised. (No pics, but I will take some tomorow and post them)
The boys (Amante and Polvo) live at my appartment on the balcony. It is covered and enclosed so safe from predators and the elements. The have a smaller enclosure where they stay during the day. They get out for playtime in the evenings, night and early morning.
Right now, Amante and Polvo are bonded males, un neutered, and they probably won't be neutered anytime soon.
Question, they are nearing maturity. They have been together since they were 4-5 weeks old. Do I need to be concerned about them fighting once they hit sexual maturity? Or can I plan on continuing to house them together.
Also, currently Zamora is staying with the boys. They get along really well. She met the girls for the first time last night and they got on well, but it was in the boys territory. I am worried about introducing her to the other two does at this point, because she is so small, and both does are of a mature age now. The other two does are a bonded pair. I have never tried to house intact rabbits together, so I am nervous about fighting. Zamora is so small, I don't want the other girls to turn on her or hurt her.
You know how girls can be.
Should I wait until she is older? Should I move her in there now? Or should I build another enclosure and look for her another companion rabbit?
Last question about housing, if I breed one of my does, is it safe to continue to house her with the other doe or should I build a kindling pen?
Thanks for your input. I am trying to allow the rabbits the most natural life possible. I just don't care for cages. I may end up just neutering my bucks so they can all live together in bunny bliss.
