Well, Polo and I are back from the rescue (which I've been volunteering at for the past month or so, right after we brought Derby home)
..............and Derby girl is not with us I'd taken Polo and Derby back into the rescue so that the gal helping me could monitor their behavior and she just didn't think it was going to work, due to Derby's aggressive/dominant behavior, and Polo being extremely dominant and intimidated/scared/constant alarm.
After a few hours of monitoring and viewing their behavior, we decided it would be best to not continue with the two as a pair.. I'm quite sad as I've gotten attached to her. I feel like maybe I could have done more or *something* but we talked some, and the gal from the rescue thought we might try a more submissive rabbit to go with Polo's extremely dominant behavior.. instead of getting A bunny, I got sent home with a PAIR of bunnies :shock: We gave them an initial meeting to see if it would work, and Polo was transformed into a much gentler rabbit, much like his old self.. he is still a bit "bossy" but I haven't seen him so relaxed since we brought Derby home..
They're 2 lovely dutch mix girls, and so far they've been doing great, and they don't mind each other through the bars of the cage, much unlike our previous weeks with Derby.. we'll start a long bonding session tonight if all goes well, I'm just giving them a bit to relax.
