Hi all,
I hope you can help and offer some advise. There are plenty of threads on here about bonding and I can't explain the amount I have read about bonding etc. But I stuck... In a catch 22 situation I feel.
Noah my eight month old male was on his own so after getting him neutered we waited a few months and thought it was time to get him a little girlfriend. Well we got beau two weeks and Noah seems to just hate her. The catch 22 is we keep trying to bond them together however it seems scary when Noah seems to get aggressive. We have tried the oven gloves, water spray so it ends up with a scared beau and a soaking wet Noah. I don't want beau to keep getting scared because she looks petrified everytime. After a date on Sunday beau has a little bite mark just above her nose :-( we have been bathing this so it doesnt get infected. So even more we don't want to put them together.
Could it be possible that Noah just liked being the "only rabbit". We can't have beau getting scared all the time, it's a very stressful and sad thing to see.
Please bear in mind beau is not spayed and there is a bit of a size difference.
Hope you can help.
