Hi
So we currently have Pops & Charlie indoors but they will soon be going outside permanently and I've got a dilemma on how best to house them because the garden is already 'owned' by Jasper & Lola and they are not thrilled at the imposter bunnies who keep coming out to visit!!
Understandably Jasp & Lo are behaving very territorially and Jasp aggressively chases Lola at the sight of other rabbits. Poor Lola.
I thought that they might get used to living alongside each other?
The 4 have even had a couple of bonding style meetings in neutral ground because I thought that might let them suss each other out and they were ok for a short while but I don't think it's a good idea anymore.
They have to go outside though, my only other option was trying a trio with zucc, poppy and Charlie indoors but that won't work either- I currently have 6 butterfly stitches in my arm for my efforts, after already having 2 the other week!...(rather me than the rabbits tho) so that plan has been abandoned.
Questions- do I put Charlie & poppy in a shed next to jasp & Lola in the hope they will get used to each other, similar to a long bond? (Bit without the eventual quad)
Or do I put them at separate ends of the garden, as though that will magically make a difference?!
Or is this doomed to fail...
Thanks, Laura
