I have a neutered male netherland dwarf named Elvis. He lives indoors in an indoor cage left open with a nic run attached. He also gets supervised free time around the house.
We have just got a 10week old mini lop doe called indie. At the moment we have put her into a pen opposite our current rabbits home. We have let them both have separate free time in the room they are in (which was neutral to both)
Elvis seems to run around the room not really interested in indie, continuing to binky and roll over etc. He has tried to rub his chin along the new cage a few times but when she comes to see him he just moves away.
On indies free time if she goes over to elvis's cage he make a little grunt noise and tries to get out (obviously protecting his territory)
Before we got indie I read up a lot on bonding and thought elvis having a companion would be best for him. Now we have got her home though Im confused as to where to start. I work throughout the day so I feel a fast bond with 24 hour supervision isn't possible. Someone told me to introduce them in the bath over short periods of time?
Please could you give me ideas as to what I could do. Other than this room (which they have both now been in) the only neutral place is the bathroom.
