Young Bun
Hi all,
So... as much as I have read up online I'd rather get the opinion of you lovely people who have actually been through this stuff.
So we bought bailey 2 months ago at 8 weeks old.
For the past 2 months up until beginning of this week he was living alone (too young to be neutured)
My husband wanted another rabbit to bond with him once he was neutured and recovered.
We adopted bailey 6 days ago, we have kept them both seperate with half the dining room each, in pens with the cages inside. They were extremely curious about each other and both pacing up and down the side of the others pen, I knew they should be able to see and smell each other to get used to each other in the hopes our first ever bonding session will go easier.
Anyways.... yesterday our adopted bunny decides to jump the pen sides ( they are the height of half way up my thighs so god knows how!!) And into baileys pen
Needless to say they were fighting by the time we got in there, both trying to mount and humour each other. Lots of fighting, we got them seperate as quickly as possible and back in their pens.
I then phoned the vets to see when they could get them both in for neuturing. To my surprise she had today available.
So both bunny's have now been neutured and are currently on cage rest recovering
Advice I need is what to do next???
How long to wait before attempting the bond
And your tips on getting it to go smoothly.
Thanks
