This bonding is just not going right!
Im doing the slow process eg. swapping their litter trays, switching their cages, allowing them to see each other in a neutral area through a pen etc but fudge just doesnt like him one bit! She grunts and lunges and ive had plenty of bites in the past few weeks from her and had a few nips from Noah too
He seems to be getting more and more confident and she just doesnt like it! They are both very dominant rabbits and both are 'boss' and neither will back down! She is getting quite aggressive too which gets him going!
Fudge is getting very grumpy with me She allows me to give her snuggles once ive been in the bath and smell nothing like him but if i have stroked Noah and washed my hands she can still smell him and nips me and sits in a mood She isnt like that and its horrible that she is changing so much!
With her health being a big problem too i cant allow someone to take her to bond in their home as its just too much for her! I have to think of her health and try keep things as stress free as possible!
Im now scared to let them sniff each other through the bars incase she attacks him and he attacks her! This has been the hardest bond ever! My ex's 2 males had 2 big fights but that was SO much easier! He seems interested in her but when she has her nose up to the bars he tries to nip her and then she goes mental at him
Its causing arguing between me and my OH too as he doesnt understand why they cant be put toghether right now and them to be happy :roll: He isnt an animal lover so doesnt want 2 single buns and he is taking it out on me when i cant help that they dont love each other right away! I cant force them to love each other! Its like he thinks it my fault :?
Sorry just having a very stressful time just now and its not good dont know where to go from here
