The tension between Snowy and Baby has been noticeable since I collected them. Baby is extremely territorial, towards me (when feeding), equipment (when cleaning/feeding), and over Snowy (if I go to stroke him, she will jump in and try and intercept by attacking me).
I have been aware the two need separating and have been looking for spare housing or someone to take Baby out of this situation, unfortunately to no avail as yet.
Tonight I have witnessed the first outright aggressive attack by Baby against Snowy. Luckily neither rabbit has physical wounds as a result of this, but I am no longer taking any chances and have separated the two as of tonight.
Unfortunately, I have, due to being very ill-resourced (I sold off all my old housing after Leonard passed away), had to quickly knock together some make-shift housing (a sections off section of the shed) to keep Baby in. This is by no means secure and ideal. However, I have had to take immediate action as I am under no doubts now that a full blown fight will occur between the two.
I am asking urgently now for any help, ideally if someone has space, to take this rabbit in. My vet is certain she has never been spayed, so would certainly need spaying to help her aggression and frustration. I would be happy for her to go as a foster and be spayed in her foster home, and then reattempted to be bonded back to Snowy. Or, the other option is if a rescue has space (I know this is asking almost the impossible at this time of year), as a foster on the same basis, or take Baby into rescue on the understanding I would be looking for a female at a later date once Snowy has returned to full health (as I would like Snowy paired up eventually).
I am basically calling out for any help that is out there. At the moment, I have two incompatible bunnies (dangerously so), and a temp housing setup. No way ideal for any bunny.

Again, as per my last thread...to anyone thinking of 'helping' or taking on unknown bunnies (as I have done here), ....please be very careful, as I am learning here!! :?
