Hi all. I've not posted for a few months as all has been well. Sort of.
Some of you may remember I had a problem early last year with my young mini lops breeding. We rehomed 1 of the 3 and kept a male and female which were divid up and paired with mum and dad in separate hutches. All are neutered and have been for 4 months now. We noticed mum had nipped young male at the end of last year and he had a patch on his behind that has now grown back. I was worried at the time but they happily snuggle together and groom each other and both are eating and lay happily in the garden and front lounge together when out so I just thought it was mum putting him in his place. Since early autumn dad and young female have also had their little fights. I've seen them chase in the hutch twice but found fur a couple of times over night. This morning there was quite some fur and dad had had his ear bitten. It's not torn but punctured. However they are now both huddled up together and eating together. How concerned should u be and what should my next steps be? Or is this just a case of females making sure the men know who's boss? I cannot have a 3rd hutch as 2 doubles is enough for any garden so now I'm worried if I have to rehome anyone? Can anyone advise or reasure please? Many Thanks in Advance.
