bailey and gizzy (male neutered brothers) have been apart for 4 months now but are only seperated by a wire fence and can still see and smell each other . I,ve noticed ther last few weeks that they are lying next to each other with the fence dividing them and have also noticed that they are grooming each other through the fence . what now ? they got neutered in october at 3 months old but started fighting in nov . We also had an episode in dec when gizzy got into baileys bit and ended up with a fat lip !! They have been together since then (with me there) and they don,t fight but I always think the potential is there (maybe i,m just imagining it tho ??? . I,m thinking of trying them together now as the signs look good but what if all hell breaks loose again . i really don,t know what to do ??
Could the hormones still have been raised in nov , dec and might it be ok now ?
 
Their hormones will have calmed down completely by now, and it does not sound as if they hate each other :) I would try again in neutral territory and see how it goes, keeping a careful eye on them.

i,m terrified tho :roll:
 
Choose a time when you can spend time with them. I do bonding in the bathroom and stay in there with the rabbits and a book until I am happy that things are safe.
 
I don't know if this will help you, but my two live in my bedroom. After a week of neautral ground and when Gypsy had stopped being bossy I let Storm out of the cage at night. As it is my sleeping area, I thought if there was any scuffles I would be woken up and be able to stop it. They were fine though.

they have their own bedroom divided in two . I suppose I could bring them into my room for a night to see if all hell breaks loose but as I have a 8am start it would be best to leave that one for a weekend :lol:
