Hello everyone.
I have a 2yr old male lop who was a house rabbit until we did some decorating recently. We put him outside because of the paint fumes, and since doing this my fiancee's chest problems have gone away so I think he is allergic.
So, Doody will be living outside from now on and I don't want him to be lonely, so I spoke to a lady who advised me on bonding.
I rescued a speyed 18mth old rabbit yesterday and brought her home.
I did as I was advised and took Doody in the car to collect her as the car ride may help them bond. I put them in the boot, and they didn't fight, so when I got home I put them in a nutral run for half an hour. There was minor chasing, and a few mountings of the new girl by Doody (she let him), but most of the time they were at opposite ends of the run.
They are in seperate hutches, and I can't get hold of the lady who was meant to be helping me, so I don't really know what to do now, or at what pace to take it?
Any advice would be most welcome, at what point do you know when it would be ok for them to live together?
Sorry for lengthly post!
Thanks in advance for your help
