Hi guys, I really need some help. I know this is early days but advice is welcomed.
Bit of background.
Ellie is my almost 5 year old rabbit who lost her sister 3 weeks ago.
she was dressed 4 years ago and her and furby got on like a house on fire. they were sisters.
3 days ago, I bought a 8 week old minilop female.
So far I have had them in different hutches, but looking in on them.
Ellie has become very jealous of me touching the new bunny and has even jumped on me for hugs. For 4 years she has not let me touch her and now she wants hugs.
Yesterday I put the 2 bunnies together in the conservatory. Ellie used to go into it 4 years ago but hasnt really been in it at all since.
Ellie tolerated the new bunny but didnt really do anything. I thought she was sniffing the new one but the baby jumps.
Today I put them together again and the baby started humping ellie and annoying her!!! Ellie just moved away. I pulled them apart.
Then suddenly Im not sure who annoyed who but they started fighting!! I had to pull them apart!!
is this a really bad sign? I dont know what i will do if this continues....
