As the title says really... i want your opinions guys
As you all know i have Ronnie and Lola, who im having trouble to bond Ronnie has been a house bunny since ive had him... hes basically like a dog. Lola has been indoors since weve had her but she has a dog crate, and half of the lounge.
The will lie side by side through a mesh divide, but as soon as i put them together, all hell breaks loose. Lola ended up at the vets the first time i tried as Ronnie had tore a large piece of her fur out and the skin was just... hanging Blood everywhere kinda thing :? Ive also tried to bond the 'slow' way by putting them down the shed for 10 mins a time, on the 1st and 2nd day this was fine, but come to the 3rd day and Lola wasnt even giving Ronnie a chance! She was lunging at him immediately.
Ive tried them together this afternoon in a run on the grass outside... they were fine for 5 mins, as they hadnt seen each other, they were too busy munching grass. As soon as Lola saw Ronnie, she races at him with her tail in the air :?
So this is where im stuck
I can either....
A - Send the bunnies away to be bonded. Id send to Fat Fluffs Although Ronnie doesnt travel well, even when hes going to boarding which is 2 mins away... FF is about 35 mins away :? So not sure it would work... as i dont want to make Ronnie ill.
B - Put Lola down the shed and keep Ronnie as a house bunny, this would mean Lola would need a friend, but Ronnie would be kept as a single house bunny.
Or... any other suggestions?
Im at my wits end. I know it isnt me as ive got 2 buns here at the minute, and ive bonded them fine. Had them since this morning, and theyre now asleep side by side :? Please dont suggest i try and bond them myself again, and please do not shout at me. Im only trying to do the best for both Ronnie, and Lola.
