Young Bun
I've got two buns, Fidget (male) and Cotton (female). They are both mini lops about 10 months old.
They live in a two storey cage but are separated (with the scientific method of separation being a box over the whole in the top storey lol).
I got them at the same time and were told they were both girls so originally they played together a lot and I was hoping to bond them properly as they were supposedly sisters (they still lived in separate cages at the time).
Now, it's months and months later and they both been fixed (Fidget months ago and Cotton about 2-3 weeks ago).
I let them play together when they're out but I'm not sure how they feel about each other. They had a fight once a few months ago before Fidget was fixed as Cotton managed to get into his part of the cage and we think she startled him more then anything.
They haven't a fight since then. When they play together both of them will try to put their head under the other's body (one at a time not at the same time!). Then one will flop down in front of the other (again not at the same time but they both do it one after the other).
I tend to separate them at this point as I'm scared they will fight. After I've separated them Fidget will run around and then Cotton always goes after him and looks like she's nipping his hind leg but he doesn't really react, he just looks at her (altho I tell Cotton off at this point and put her to bed).
What are they doing? Is it bad? Will they bond?
