Hello all
:? I'm a bit puzzled by my two bunnies, we've in the process of trying to bond Ben (approx 18 mths old) whom we've had since he was 12 weeks old, with Lucy who's approx 3 yrs old. We got Lucy from a rescue centre just over a week ago.
When we introduced Ben and Lucy at the rescue centre, we got very good vibes that they would hit it off, they both mounted each other, no fighting etc etc.
However, since we got them home, Ben has started to chase Lucy round the garden and nip her if she's close to him Lucy is such a sweet natured bunny she hasn't retaliated once she just runs away. However she soon comes walking over to him to say hello and the whole process starts all over again.
When I let the buns out for their evening romp around the garden yesterday, I thought I'd lost Lucy but I found her inside Ben's hutch sniffing round :lol:, Ben was down the other end of the garden, so I guess he didn't see her jump in his hutch. So I think she must be quite brave ! (the garden is secure btw)
Do you think there is any hope of Ben calming down and falling in love with the loveable Lucy?? I know it's only been just over a week, but I being to fear that Ben has turned into a monster. He's even taken to nipping me since Lucy's been on the scene.
