Sarah has started to bully Nomad (she is a large Rex, Nomad is a Mini Lop)
They have been bonded for several months but during that time they have had a few spats, nothing serious, just a bit of argy-bargy.
But yesterday I *STUPIDLY* forgot to put a barrier infront of their pen before letting Erin have a free range hop about :roll: A fight kicked off between Sarah and Nomad (refered aggression) and Sarah has sustained a puncture wound to her foot having been bitten by Nomad She is now on abx and pain relief and has a dressing on her foot as the wound has exposed some tendon Christobel did not want to suture a puncture wound for fear of seeling in bacteria and causing an abscess.
Since this episode I have kept Sarah and Nomad together under constant supervision. All seemed OK til breakfast time when another scuffle kicked off. This time Nomad ran away. Now its a case of Sarah constantly chasing Nomad away whenever he appears from under the hutch that's in their pen.
I hate seeing this and I thinking that maybe their bond has broken completely and I should seperate them :?
Or should I give them the rest of today together to see if things calm down?
