Hello,
Some of you might have read on some of my other posts that I have adopted a bunny from a rescue home ( i brought her home yesterday!!)
I took my male bunny for 3 bonding sessions and everything seemed to go well, the 1st one was quite uneventful and there were sat next to each other being stroked, the second one went pretty much the same then towards the end of it she started to bonk him and he just lay there squashed down if anything a little frightned. The last one was yesterday and again everything went well and she only tried to bonk him a few times at the end of the session but stopped when we clapped.
Last night when I brought her home he was sat next to her and they were sniffing through there cage bars and when I went to work this morning I opened his cage door as usual so he could have the free run of my bedroom, when I got home from work I opened her cage to feed her and she jumped out, she had a little hop around then started eating her tea (outside her cage) he sat next to her and was sniffing her, everything seemed fine so I popped her back in her cage to end on a good note (thats what the rescue home told me to do!! I have not long put them together again in the spare room (somewhere neutral) for another bonding session they were both hopping about then all of a sudden he started trying to bonk her!! I clapped at him but he wouldnt stop so I got him off her and he kept doing it again and again!! So I got him off her (because they had both pulled a chunk of fur out of each other!!) and his willy was out, he was neuterd mid Nov. At one point I think she was about to mount him.
Were they just seeing who was boss or were they about to fight?
Should I have left them?
Rupert is currently pasing his cage with his tail up and thumping!!!
I am going to ring the rescue home tommorow for some advise but I would be very greatful for anyone on heres advise!!!
Thankyou!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
