Young Bun
The lesson simply being, not to split up a same sex pair even for a night.
I started a thread on this a while back so thought I would give a final update.
Juno spent a night at the vets away from her daughter and we have not been able to reintroduce. We tried everything - rides in the car, walks on leads together, swapping hutches and neutral space but to no avail. We took them to see a specialist rabbit rescuer with a lot of knowledge and she watched them for a while together and said that it wouldn't work. Verity is just too dominant a character.
Very very sad. We are keeping Juno as we rescued her and don't think it's fair to move her again, so Verity is going. Fortunately a good friend is taking her so we can still see her and know she is in a good home, but I still had a good cry!
