Ok so i am starting to slowly attempt a bond with my 2 netherland dwarfs.
The idea of this thread is so i can update with whats happened each day and also so that if i make a mistake or bad decision that hopefully someone can point it out!
Day 1: So today i got them both into the bath (best neutral place i could think of) and had a towel ready in case of any fighting. Started off ok, they where both breathing heavily which i assume was them a bit scared of the new environment.
In total i had to break up about 4-5 little scraps, no blood or anything i stop it as soon as i see it although some fur was pulled. That leads me to my first question really, Curtis was actually eating the fur he pulled out of Corvin? Is this normal behaviour or something i need to look further into?
In total they where in there for about 30 minutes. They spent some time huddled together, Curtis was asking for licks by bowing his head but corvin just wouldnt have anything to do with it.
Corvin is 3.5 years old and has never been with a rabbit, i got him from a family whoes new baby was allergic. Is this going to make things harder?
Thanks all and ill update tomorrow night!
