Young Bun
New here folks so hoping you can give me some advice. I have two buns Skittle, spayed female aged 11. Mojo, neutered male, aged 9. Both buns started living together 9 years ago, bonding took about 2 weeks, wasn’t too painful on the whole (first time I’d done it) & ever since they have lived in domestic bliss. Skittle (the female) has always been Top Bun with Mojo her devoted husband trailing along in her wake...until this last couple of weeks. He is chasing her constantly. She gets fed up and nips at him, this morning they even had a brief boxing match. She’s an elderly lady & is not used to this type of treatment & I’m worried she will collapse with exhaustion. They have two large double storey hutches in the garage to run freely between via a tube & appear to be OK when in that, it’s when I let them out in the garden or in their outdoor run that it’s happening. At first it seemed he was chasing her just to hump her but now he seems more aggressive. Why has he turned? Is it because she’s old, survival of the fittest & all that? I’m reluctant to separate as I don’t want them to unbond. What are your opinions, why is this happening, is it normal, what do I do?
