Up until recently I had two bonded pairs (both opposite sex couples), each pair had a separate hutch but all 4 bunnies shared the 6ft run. They used to spend nearly all day everyday in the run and all four really got on well. The oldest of the two females always appeared to be "top bunny" but then a couple of months ago the younger female (they are all neutered by the way) suddenly started chasing and attacking the older one and its got so bad that as soon as they are put in together she starts and poor Merry just sits in a corner shaking. It's not just mild fighting, blood has been drawn a few times now and I have had to seperate them for their own safety. Since we lost Pippin (Merry's brother who she was bonded with) it's got even worse because Tia now also attacks Simba, her partner, if he spends any time in the run with Merry and they end up fighting. As we only have the one run I have been swapping the two girls around so they get half a day each but leaving Simba in there with them both but as that is causing problems now he will only be able to have half a day with Tia which means that poor Merry will be on her own in not only her hutch, but in the run too (we are still looking for a new mate for her).
I would like to know if there is any chance that I could re-bond the two girls as they got on so well before and I would just love all of them be able to use the run all day like they used to. If there is a possibility of this, how should I go about it please?
