Hello
I know this is a common topic but can't find any that really relate.
We bought 2 female rabbits (honey and cinnamon) from p@h birstall in September, approx 3 months old. Initially they lived in a double hutch together. A week after, honey became gravely ill (mucoid enteritis). We had suspicions cinny was attacking honey. We split the cage.
Thankfully honey pulled through. For the past couple of months they have been living in a greenhouse, loads of room to run etc and they both got along well and seemed happy.
Yesterday, (Christmas Eve), honey was behaving markedly different, usually excited to see us and loved eating, she was withdrawn and eating minimal food, some hay. Softer poos. We took her to the vets, she had some injections and given us meds.
She's no better, her poos are even softer and we had to clean her bottom last night. This morning fur found, cage partly destroyed, cinny has been attacking honey again.
Sorry this is so long winded, my question is could the bullying be causing illness due to stress? How come they got on so well for months? And, if we got them neutered could they be happy together again?
Thanks in advance.
