Hi,
I've been feeling rather stressed and worried today, because at 6.08 this morning Barley Sugar & Candy Flosss had a scuffle!! I was awake and with the window open could hear banging outside - looked out and saw Barley & Floss run out of the shed into the run - basically fighting - fur pulling rather than breaking the skin! I shouted at them from the window - Mum asked why I shouted and I was like "the rabbits are fightin". She was already up and downstairs and I quickly got myself down there and outside as well! By the time I got there they had stopped, but there was rather a lot fur in the shed I don't know if any of it was Barley's but certainly much of it was Floss's as she had some loose on her coat and in Barley's mouth. I watched them for a while and all was quiet. (Barley was rater exhausted I think!). Then Barley gave Floss a little groom of her back and Barley asked her for a head groom... but he didn't get one!
Unfortunatly I had to get up and on for work, but all reamained quiet out there, I watched them eat to ensure food didn't start anything and all was fine (Floss got the last pellet by the way).
I'm had two texts off of my mum during the say and she says all is quiet and she's spend more time outside than inside checking on them....
I really do hope that this is just a one off :| and things settle down again... I love seeing them together and I'm sure they have been getting just fine, I'm sure Barley's benefitted from the company (for one thing there hasn't been one bit of shed or run chewing since she arrived!)
Please send some marriange councilling this way!
