Hi,
well I thought I finally found Bunbuns a husbun. all started off well, seemed like love at first sight, they were super loved up at the rescue centre, and looked all great. she kept grooming him and running up to him to play. However as soon as they came home he really changed. He was very, very aggressive with her. I first thought she was being territorial, but after watching them, she still kept going up to him trying to groom him, she even pushed her toys towards him, but all he did was snap at her and a few times tried biting her. He really turned from a cuddle bunny to something else. I think he may not have been happy indoors. he is 4 years old, never been with another bunny and always lived outdoors. They initially fought a couple of times after that I thought it calmed down. she kept trying to get closer to him, and he just didn't wanna know. Then Friday night they had another fight, I was just in the next room, so I could split them instantly again, but unfortunately I also heard a squeal, no idea from which bun it was, needless to say I kept them separate again. She kept looking to his run all loved up, he just gave her his backside to look at. The lady from the rescue place picked him back up yesterday and he's his old self again. she however is missing him, keeps looking around for him. We'll try to bond her again next week with a different buck, but just was wondering, since there is a beautiful, very gentle, like her, doe there that they just got in, could two does get on? I now know she really doesn't seem to be territorial at all, so would two does get on if the resident bun isn't territorial? this new buck we will try next is only 8 months old, so hopefully not as set in his way as the 4 year old one, but I want to keep my options open if they don't get on. hope that makes sense
