I'm so glad that Mischief is dashing about the place and doing amazing binkies.
That's good that you're pleased with his weight now. I don't know if 0.2kg in 2 weeks is a lot for a French lop! I've never cared for a bunny as big as they are, so I don't know much about them, sadly. It doesn't seem much, though, for a growing bunny of 3.3 kg? I wouldn't be too worried about her getting a bit tubby while she's still growing, to be honest. That's better than her not getting enough food to support her growth. I'm sorry you're struggling with their feed rations. It can be difficult, I know. Since they're both doing well now and being very active (that does sound like an impressive jump by Lillabelle!
), I'd keep giving them what they're getting now and then look at their weights in a few weeks. Then you can see if Mischief's weight has stayed stable and if Lillabelle is growing well, and adjust if necessary.
It sounds like a good idea to keep their pellets scattered about so they won't argue over it? If they're doing well like that, I wouldn't change it.
That's so sweet that Lillabelle comes to you wanting to be stroked now, aw, and I'm glad she's doing okay being handled when you need to. And that's great that you've been able to finish her front paws! I'm sorry she sliced your finger the other day! Bunny nails can be so sharp! :shock: It definitely sounds for the best to keep the ends of her nails clipped so they won't be able to hurt Mischief or anyone else!
I'm sorry there's trouble between Lillabelle and Mischief and that you might have to separate them, and that you're even thinking that if you'd known it would happen like this you might not have gotten Mischief a friend. It's a risk when bonding a baby to an adult, sadly, that things will go wrong when the baby's hormones start playing up. It's why it's often simpler to bond two already neutered/spayed adults. I hope Mischief will be tolerant of her humping and that you'll be able to let them stay together. It really would be sad if they'd have to be split up until Lillabelle has been spayed.
