Hi, 1st post into the forum and looking for some help
Myself and my girlfriend have had Barney our Netherland Dwarf house rabbit since about Easter 2018, from about 8 weeks old, we had him neutered in October 2018 to start the process of trying to find him a friend.
As we’re from Guernsey there aren’t any reputable breeders that do mini/dwarf breeds so we went to a very good local pet shop and the owner has good UK breeder contacts, she managed to get us a female which was (we believe) a cross between a dwarf Rex and Netherland
We’ve had her just over 3 weeks and they have bonded nicely and sharing the same pen.
Now since last night (Feb 25th) they have started fighting to the point where we have to intervene- tornado spins and all! And so now she’s in a seperate pen next to Barney, we let one of them out and they start going for each other through the bars! They simple have to be separate!
Question is, we got her very young, could she be coming into season? Could she in fact be a boy? Do we need to spend the next couple weeks bonding all over again?!
Any help would be massively appreciated, she will be going to the vet next week to start her jabs, check up etc, we’ll have to have the privates checked too
Cheers, Will
