bluebell and bertie are two frenchie housebuns whove been bonded since 1st week dec 2010.
he was the boss...and shed try and be boss but respected him. hes 7 bless him and shes on her way to being 2..both neutered.......
last few motnhs shes been humping him rotten to make him submit to her dominance...and he hasnt been able to fight back due to his arthritis..he waits for her to get off then lunges and growls and even chases her. she gets so jealous shell hump him if weve even been tlaking to him...let alone interacting with him..even if we do with them togehter as a couple.
shes made the cats health bad by attacking them all the time...since we got her....shes even caught freya before now and luckily freya escaped..poor teeny cat..she ripped out a patch of fur and made the skin sore..scratched at her and nearly bit her head and paws.
just uber territorial i guess....she was fine with bertie n merlin when she 1st arrived here..not keen on the cats tho..we thought shed settle once she realsied it was a cat n bunny love fest here.
her sister got sick about a fortnight after arriving here together...then her sis had to be pts...melrin was admitted at deaths door the next day and was hospitlaised for well over a week or so. when we got him back we took the buns with and popped him in the carrier....no probs...but when we got home she nealry killed him.....
so becasue her n bertie had bonded so tightly thinking cos of her sis dying and bertie thinking merlin had died too i couldnt seperate them..plus merlin had gotten sicker by eating berties food...and grooming him..he had a fur blockage that passed in three days bit by bit.
shes so good with bertie..cleans his back feet for him..his knickers and sometimes his hard ball of poo sticky bum. rather than let us do it. But the humpings quite savage with the bite down..harder than it ever was and harder than ive ever seen by other buns.
tonight i made the mistake of puling the poo and hurt his anal polyp...i feel awful...cried...
but also got a terrible shock when we saw all the huge raw pathces and big bite marks in his fesh on his back where shes taken a bite to hold him down to hump him. Its been making him miserable.....and poos responsible for a few of the squishy poo attacks..i know his arthritis makes it diffcult for him..but hes showing signs of stress.
hes really sore.....and having a very low immune system with his pasturella and seizures...and arthritis....im worried sick..years ago this kept happening between him and his wifey bif.....it ended up with her biting him daily...to keep the pecking order..loved himt he rest of the time...bit his face and eyes and nose usually though...humped him twice in her life...she was a little bun:shock:
But he got very depressed supporting her and her fears 24/7 and having to go to vets every time with her and stay with her...and her agression and bullying.
we got a 3rd rabbit to change the dynamics and it did..bif bullied her too..and it took a 4th bun into the group to be a bonded group...which fell apart with new years fireworks orund here...bif hated fireworks...made her lose it for days at a time...and shed unbond herself all the time.
berties a laid back old soul....he likes warmth...cool..comfort..sleeping...fusses....and food esp mint and parsley and basil..fresh of course.
but hes very down...hes a mess....im worried sick..these bites are massive....big at least as a 50p piece....bigger most of em.
weve cut the fur short to see the wounds and keep an eye for infection.......but hes very sore...will bathe it later and put dermisol cream on it..that stuffs magic..even cured my raw skin from sweat rash under my scratchy bra on the hottest few days this year!
but its not going to stop her biting him several times a day...sometimes several times over one bite.
i dont want to split them as he does love her and vice versa..but it cannot go on like this
