Hi,
I have been trying to bond to neutered males. Leo is approx. 6 years old and was neutered at a very early age. He recently lost his long term girlfriend. Bertie is possibly about 2 years old and was neutered about 9 weeks ago, he has never has a rabbit friend as far as we are aware.
They were getting along OK with some mounting by Bertie and Leo was very submissive. After a couple of hours Bertie started to dig at Leos back. He has done it so hard he has made bald patches that are very sore. We have separated them and would like some advice.
I have never had this problem before and am worried for Leo.
Is it a good idea to try bonding them again and hope Bertie calms down the behaviour or is it likely Bertie will continue?
Thank you in advance
