Just to start, the boys were only neutered on Monday! I decided tonight that I would see how they
behaved together in the new enclosure, giving them a little exercise and to gauge how they will react to
one another.
It started off fine, both bunnies explored the new enclosure and basically ignored one another. They would
come nose to nose now and then, have a sniff, then go on with what they were doing.
After about 10 minutes Milo started doing a little bit of chasing and then tried humping Finn a LOT, he
tried again and again to hump him and at first I stopped him, I was armed with a blanket to separate
if anything happened. Milo eventually managed to hump Finn and I thought I would see how Finn took it.
Finn just flattened himself in the litter tray and didn't do anything, after humping him Milo wandered off
but was soon back trying again. This time he humped his face but I was so afraid of a fight I separated them
again.
Now Milo is back in his medical cage and Finn is having some exercise in the new enclosure. I'm not exactly sure if
what I did was right or how to proceed? I know their hormones won't have disappeared yet, but there isn't any fighting or
biting so far? Should I be doing this again and again or should I be waiting until the 5 or 6 weeks it takes for hormones to
apparently fade?
Anyone help please?
