Mama Doe
Hiya,
tried to introduce all four buns this morning,and it ended badly!
We followed all the usual,neutral territory etc.
The two new girls were fine and just wanted to sniff and be nosey,but Sophie the doe we have went in for the attack almost straight away and had a go at them both,it wasnt very pleasant and she just didnt want them around atall.
I am not sure if she dosnt want them to go near Bobby (the buck) as she seems to be trying to keep him away from them,we first noticed this when they were in the run outside (I have seperated it into 2 sides with mesh for each pair) and she wouldnt let bobby near the mesh to sniff them and nipped him to keep him away.
I just wanted some advice on what to do next as i dont want to risk a repeat of this morning,which only lasted all of 5 mins before I had to seperate them all again.
Anyone else had this problem?
What happens next? the 2 newies are both spayed,as is bobby,but sophie isnt,should we get her done before introducing them again?
Also Bobby started to hump them both,but wasnt too worried about this as hes a very laid back bun,and maybe this was just due to excitement??
any advice would be appreciated
Thanks Rick
