I adopted a bunny yesterday from a rescue centre & he hasn't been neutered yet due to his poor condition when he was rescued (he wouldn't have survived the anaesthetic).
Tbh I didn't think there'd be any real problems & expected that I'd have to protect Phillip from my two 7 month old kittens (both neutered), but I was wrong!
I had to pick Phillip up because he'd pinned down one of my kittens and was trying to hump him; poor Corky just froze, he didn't know what to do; & Phillip wasn't too pleased that I picked him up either, he was trying to kick with his back legs. I put him back in his cage & he just 'flopped' but was trembling.
I was really hoping it would go a little better than this as Phillip was really enjoying running around & chasing the kittens.. he was binkying too.
Should I keep them seperated (kittens & bunny) until Phillip is neutered, & will it make a difference to his behaviour?
It's my 1st experience so I was a little shocked, but I guess I should have been prepared for it lol
