We have 2 Netherland Dwarf bunnies who are 13months old and have both been neutered.
They have fought once or twice in the past few months but we've always separated them apart and then quickly rebonded them together with feeding and petting.
This weekend they won't stop fighting. We ended up separating them overnight which isn't ideal as we only have one cage! In the morning when I let one out the bunnies were trying to fight through the cage bars!
I took them to the bathroom which is neutral territory and stayed with them. They started eating together, bunny flopping and even grooming. After a while we started popping in and out to check on them and I sat with them on and off for 20 minute periods.
They weren't fighting and were sitting together although the more timid of the two would only sit in the corner.
When we let them back into our lounge where there cage is they were initially fine but then the fighting restarted and it was really violent.
They can't be allowed near each other and the more timid one won't run around even when we put his brother in another room. He just sits behind furniture.
Does anyone have any advice? We don't have two cages so one is now living in our bathroom overnight and one in the cage.
We looked into rehoming one of them but the waiting lists for shelters are really long!
Help please!
