Hi there,
I have 2 male bunnies who have lived together since they were in the shop where we bought them in August 2015. Last March we moved them from the garage into a shed in the garden and they now have access to the garden at all times. Its well enclosed and there are no foxes in are area so its safe enough. Anyway, since the weather has become milder this year they are spending ALL their time out in the garden on the grass and only go into the hutch in the shed when it gets dark in the evening. I don't know if this is normal. They always used to sleep during the day in the hutch. I don't know if they're just more acclimatised this year after being in the shed all winter. Does it seem normal for a rabbit to sleep sitting on the lawn during the day?
The other thing that I've noticed is that one rabbit is chasing the other quite a lot. He's always been a little bit inclined to chasing but it seems to be happening a lot. I did notice him grooming the other one earlier on today though so perhaps is just normal. I've not seen any fighting. The rabbit being chased always runs away immediately. What does everyone else think?
