A stupid mistake.

I'm so annoyed at myself and so embarrassed I'm ashamed to post this. :(
As my rabbits have been determined to stay outside in the hutch, my sister's rabbit Simba has been staying inside to keep them separated. And like an idiot I thought maybe we could see if they get on so they can all be outside. :evil:

Samus only bit a huge chunk out of Simba's bum. :cry:

I feel so awful. I have a lot of experience with animals and rabbits in particular and I know I shouldn't have risked it. It was just so stupid. My sister was crying too because she loves her bun. I cleaned up the area with sterile slightly salted water and cut some of the fur away. It looks like a surface wound and doesn't seem to be causing her any pain, although she would probably hide it. I don't think it's going to require a visit to the vets but I can't believe how stupid I was. Simba's a single rabbit because she just isn't interested in other rabbits and likes to stay away from them. And to top it all off now my boyfriend really doesn't like Samus. :( I know it was just instinct and being territorial and I still love her so much but they don't see it like that.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.
 
Please don't be so harsh on yourself. Everyone makes occasional mistakes/errors of judgment in life, especially when there is a lot on our minds. No major damage has been done, & that is what matters.

I was unaware of Grimlock's several serious health issues until recently, and have the greatest admiration & respect for your great care & knowledge of your animals.

I so hope you can put this unfortunate incident behind you & enjoy today. :wave:
 
I would take him to the vets he may need a shot of antibiotics depending on how bad the bite is. We all make mistakes, dont beat yourself up x
