Young Bun
So I've has Buster and Lola for almost a week now so I'm really just checking in to see if people have any advice or suggestions on my routine/How I'm helping them settle in. I want to get it as right as i can from the start with them. At the moment their routine is:
Morning
1 bowl (roughly 1.5cups pellets)
Greens variety of (carrot, apple, rocket, kale, basil, brocolli) - looking for other suggestions for easy, healthy daily greens
LOADS OF HAY
Bit of free roaming time if they want it
Mid day - water & hay top up if needed.
Free roam time if they want it (they are usually chilled and sleeping though)
Evening - loads of free range time (from about 5.30pm-11pm)
Bowl of pellets
More greens
More hat
Fresh water
There seems to be a tiny bit of tension: Lola does a lot of thumping, I thought it was being frightened/irritated when we use the kitchen but I think it's grumpiness when Buster wont groom her too...is this possible?
Buster also seems to be trying to mount her which she doesn't seem to like and I think I've heard a wee scuffle a couple of times but I've not witnessed anything yet and it could be the excited run around and binkying they are doing too...so not sure. They seem happy enough to be around each other.
Buster is neutered but Lola isn't spayed yet...will some of this potentially stop then? I'm really not sure.
They are now happily free roaming in the evenings...they wouldnt come out of the safety of their own area until last night. Lola still won't take any food from my hand, Buster will.
Lola also seems to be struggling to find her way back into their own area during free roam time too.
If anyone sees anything here they think I should be concerned about or could be doing better then please let me know!! I've not had a pair of bunnies living together since I was a kid, and at that time the guidance for having bunnies wasn't so good so although I've had bunnies for most of my life I'm still learning about giving them the absolute best possible.
Thanks
