Gizmo & Billy have been bonding with Loopy (was Nancy) for the last 5 days on neutral ground. All went well. They came home today and things have not gone so well. Billy and Loopy have been fighting now Billy is back on his turf and he has a bite on his side and Loopy has fur missing off of her leg. All 3 are in my bathroom (only neutral room in the house) looking completely stressed and I feel completely sh*tty about it. Billy has got to go to the vets about the bite, I think Loopy is physically ok but is obviously stressed. Gizmo keeps getting the worst of Billys referred aggression and all three look basically unhappy about the current situation.
Its not that I want to give up at the first hurdle, I would love all three to be bonded, but I just look at them and they look so sad. Bill & Giz are normally outdoor rabbits with the whole garden to play in and are now confined to the smallest room in the house.
When do you draw the line and say this isnt being fair to them?
