Hello all,
I'm new here and also an inexperienced rabbit owner!
To cut a long story short, I took in 2 brother rabbits last year in pity as they needed a home. They were in their previous home for 8 mths and we've had them for the last year. In that time I've had them both neutered and and fully vaccinated and they live the life of Riley. However, I wasn't told the truth when I took them in - i.e. they have to live separately!!
This is the reason I got them neutered in the hope that they'd become friends and also to stop the territorial spraying.
We tried them together last year - resulted in fighting so since then we've kept them apart in 2 separate hutches with separate exercise time, etc (running in the garden).
However..... over the last few weeks when they've been sat out in their wire pens on the grass, I've noticed they've been lying next to each other (wire separating them) but now also the big one has started grooming his brother through the wires (it's never the other way round).
I'm tempted to try again but it's always the big one who does the biting!! and I hate to see fur flying, etc.
Any advice much appreciated. Thanks.
