I already know all the stuff about buns shouldnt be introduced then seperated because it goes back to square one every day, but if you would just read this about my two and let me know what you think I would really appreciate
When I ran out of time to bond Buu and Beau last summer, I started letting them play together each day hoping that they would bond that way but we still has the same problem of Beau picking on Buu a bit when they were together in their living space because they have had to remain in the same part of the garden, no matter how much I scrubbed it with vinegar and brought new stuff he still recognised it as his I think.
So they were playing together happily in the house and garden every day for roughly four months with no problems, and I didnt find that they were starting again each day because they would be snuggled up together and playing together with lots of grooming :? The problems only started each time I tried introducing them in the hutch and run, so I stopped letting them play together when I decided they werent going to live together.
Both of them are very comfortable in the house and garden and get out of their hutch either to the garden or house every day and apart from the first week or so they were playing together they havent shown any signs of being stressed or bothered by each other and there was no aggression away from their hutch/run and they just act normally like they would if they were alone.
For example a couple of months ago I had Buu in the garden and Beau in the run and noticed a hole under the fence so I quickly called Buu to get into the run which Beau was in while I set up the other run for her and they seemed pleased enough to see each other and were sitting together for a couple of minutes before I moved her. They have always been close enough in the garden with just mesh seperating them and they seem to know each other fairly well.
Just wondered if it would maybe benefit them to still be able to play together outside? I understand that its not usually done like this but I am 100% certain that each time my buns are put together they dont start again from the beginning and as they do get on fairly well it just seems a shame to me that they are playing in runs side by side when they could both just be in the garden together? I guess im kind of thinking a little bit of bunny company is better than none? x
