I have 2 female buns (Dot and Spot)they are sisters and we bought them at the same time (4 years ago)They were spayed at the same time and have only ever really been on their own for a max of a couple of hours at a time I.e 1 is ill and we need to monitor them.
Dot was poorly the other day and we had to take her to the vet, after a few hours we bought Spot in to keep her company. We let them out together in 1 of our bedrooms upstairs (they normally live outside but spend the winter indoors) after about 10 mins they started fighting, like massively fighting, rolling around on the floor, fur going everywhere! They have never fought before, ever!
Not sure who started it but now the more submissive one (Spot)wont go near Dot, in fact she lunges at her, jumps over her and just wont entertain her. Dot isn't being aggressive, in fact she looks really sad that she wont be her friend.
I have separated them in our bathroom (completely neutral room) so they are still near each other, I have tried swapping their toilets round, swapping them over into the others little area, we even took them for a little drive, which seemed to work for a little bit and they got back and washed each ther and sat together........15 mins later Dot started to move around, not aggressive at all, then Spot kicked off again.
I don't know what to do, I'm heartbroken as they use to be inseparable
Any advice?
Will they be friends again?
