I'm really worried about the fighting bit.
I'll explain.
8 Years ago Carmel's partner Lilac died of GI.
Carmel stopped eating and I got worried, so I got her a new friend.
Advice I was given at the time was, disinfect the hutch and let them out on nutral territory. and if all is well put them in the hutch.
I did, it the kitchen. All was well for 5 hours, no fighting and they were eating and drinking out the same bowl, lying nex to each other etc.
Put them in the hutch, went to phone my dad (gone for 5mins).
Came back out and there was a trickle of blood down new buns ear.
Whipped her out the hutch, there was bite marks all over her.
Rushed to vets.
He said that the pink thing hanging out her side was a part of ther bowel, and because of all the bite marks he wasen't sure how deep they were of if they has punctured her lung.
I kept telling the vet that I did not care how mutch it cost just fix her, but he said she was badly bitten and I had to let her go.
So after lots of crying and blaming myself, I got her put to sleep.
I had her 8 hours, and she was the most gorgous bun I had ever laid my eyes on. (An orange rex.)
So you can see why I'm a bit nervous of doing this.
