Hi all
We now have two rabbits (yay) one dwarf lop female and a 8 week old French lop male.
I have read a lot about bonding but I need to check something I am a little concerned with.
They both spend most of the day side by side in there cages (and runs). After we move them into the neutral area (day 5 now) the female mainly does her own thing but when she does go towards him she will try to nip his ears and ears. I always break this up as it is easy to see the male is afraid and has yelped once or twice ( no physical signs off harm ).
Is this normal?
Any help would be great I really want these to get along.... I should add the female has been sprayed and the Male is too young to have the operation yet ( it has been booked )
Regards
Matthew
