Hi,
I rescued a male rabbit two weeks ago as a partner for my resident room female rabbit Luna. Both rabbits are neutered and about 7months old. Bonding them seemed to go pretty well at first I put them both out in a newly made 4x8 foot run and Luna chased Ra for a bit and there was a little fur pulling by both rabbits. The next couple of days Luna settled down and Ra kept trying to mount her but there was no real aggression. For the next two days after that they seemed to get on pretty well, happily sitting next to each other and going about their buissness. Since them Ra has started getting aggressive and terrtorial towards Luna. She will go towards him and put her head down to be groomed and hill go for her and if she is sitting he'll come up to her and nip and push her to move. This behaviour is constant and is occuring alongside lots of urine marking outside of the litter boxes. It doesn't feels like I'm getting anywhere, it's been two weeks and Luna's getting very nervous and on edge around Ra now.
At the moment Ra stays in a 6x4 foot cage in my room while Luna has free run of my room and has her own small cage with her stuff in. Not sure if this pairing will work, any advice?
