I am on-call tonight so went to feed the bunsters and give Dylan his meds earlier. Bumble was in his hutch so I removed the divider to fill Faye and Furby's water bowl. When I turned around from putting it in their hutch Bumble and Molly were locked together fighting. It looked really viscious
Bumble had Molly's neck in his mouth and when I lifted him up he had a mouth full of fur. There was a lot of blood on his fur and I got covered in it. I took him indoors and bathed the side of his face and put some sudacrem on it. There was only a tiny mark - I think the blood looked worst as he is white. I popped him back in his hutch with some carrot tops and dandelion leaves and went to check Molly. I couldn't see a mark on her and she was happily tucking into her noms.
I had to go to work but I dashed back to check on them and Bumble was out in the run and jumped into the hutch when he heard me as he usually does. I shut their hutches up for the night and went back to work.
I feel awful that Bumble got hurt because I left the divider down while I put the water in the other hutch. He never comes out of the hutch when I feed him. Even if he is in the run he jumps into the hutch.
I am now very worried about bonding him with Molly, Munchkin and Dylan. I've done a few bondings and nobun has ever fought to draw blood like that. It was really nasty and Molly is usually a loving, maternal bun. I am now thinking again about maybe rehoming him a wifebun of his own. I guess it may be related to his poor sight - but he seemed to be the more viscious one and yet Molly is unharmed!
Bumble was incredibly good when I bathed his face and put the cream on. He didn't struggle at all and snuggled in my arms happily when I gave him a cuddle. I will check his face in the morning and take him to the vet if it looks at all infected. It had stopped bleeding by the time I bathed it.
I feel a very bad Bunny Mummy but still don't understand how Bumble got out of the hutch and over to the other side of the run so quickly. For a poor sighted bun he can certainly move!!!
