Here I am again..Miss Only-Comes-on-RU-To-Ask-For-Advice :roll::lol:
So basically,my doe Bella is having a phantom pregnancy. She appears to have calmed down now but still isn't quite "all there" if you know what I mean. Now,a few weeks ago,I succesfully bonded her with my male Boris. It wasn't even particularly difficult,they were grooming and snuggling after only a few hours Boris is the dominant one in their relationship,which is a bit of a relief seeing as he's the smaller of the two. As soon as Bella started showing signs of phantom pregnancy this morning however,I seperated them,thinking she may get hormonal and maybe even aggressive towards him. Was this a bad idea? Bella is the most gentle bunny I've ever had the pleasure of knowing,she wouldn't hurt a fly. She acts nothing like your average unspayed doe in terms of being aggressive etc. ,which is why I even decided to try them together in the first place,otherwise I definitely wouldn't have risked it. That being said, I don't know for sure that she wouldn't have turned aggressive towards Boris if I hadn't seperated them. What do you people think? The reason for why she isn't spayed yet is that it was suggested by a local vet that she may have a heart defect. I'm currently trying to get hold of another vet to book her in for another examination,but if it turns out that isn't the case I'll definitely look into getting her spayed asap.
This turned out longer than planned lol,but the bottom line is: Did I do the right thing by seperating them? Do you think they'll be ok once she goes back to normal? Thanks in advance.
