I have 10 bunnies 3 pairs and 4 singletons.
Problem 1!
One of the 3 pairs wasn't bonded by me but my friend who I took the bunnies from. Jessica the dutch has not long been spayed and had a tumour removed which was huge. It had been left to grow for sometime (by her previous owner not me) and was almost the same weight as Jessica herself. Anyway she is preferctly healthy now and doing well. The only problem is she is so skinny and I can feel her spine without applying pressure. Now her partner in crime is Monty Moo the lop he has the opposite problem and is far too fat and has a tendancy to be quite mean to Jessica. He will chase her away from the bowl and only allow her near it once he is finished. I have taken the dish and held it for Jessica to eat while keeping Monty away and do this when I have seen him chasing her. He has done this for some time I think. Would it be fair to split them up so he can lose weight and she can gain it? They have been bonded for 3ish years.
Problem 2!
Casper and Sophie were bonded until she went for her spay. Now he doesn't want anything to do with her and for a while I had them eating tea together but this didn't last as when Sophs came she would gingerly edge towards the dish and Casper would then lean over the dish, Sophie would then bolt around the room at 100MPH and will crash into things as she goes into a blind panic. Now Im concerned she will hurt herself. Not only that since being seperated Sophie has become much more relaxed and confident and will now approach me and has been spotted binkying about.
So they are 2 of the singletons.
Now Jessie could be paired with Sooty another singleton who seems quite happy on his own but he is a very quiet bunny so it's hard to tell if hes happy. His is quite a slow eater and picks what he wants when he wants but following Adele's advise he is on small amount of dried food after having probs with furry poops and not eating recently. So hmmmm not sure if thats a good idea? Any thoughts?
Sophie could be paired with Monty I guess although he is a bully I don't think he's as bad as Casper and maybe Sophie will be more confident with a new bunny to boss????
Casper could then be paired with Angel when he is castrated hopefully. I know it's hard to comment when you don't know the bunnies but any thoughts appreciated.
