beautiful massive bunnies with uppy ears - perfect. I know they aren't 'together' but do they seem to like each other?

No, Rups is still doing the ear thing. If Susan goes past him, imagine sticking 2 fingers up at someone, he does that with his ears. Apart from that they eat, live, sleep, next to one another they eat treats nose to nose etc, its just when there is food or Susan is moving (luckily she doesnt move overly much) Rups was in a hoarders house with dogs so if it is possible for a bunny to be food aggressive he is. I have bought him a dogs anti gobble bowl as I swear he inhaled his food and I was worried about how much/fast he was eating. He does seem to be improving with this. He is also now up to the weight he should be, so hopefully he will now know he is always going to have access to food.

Is the 2 finger salute ear thing bad - I think it is?

Expressing oneself is never bad if you're a bunny - a trifle rude maybe but at least he is honest.

Joey is a really gentle rabbit but has always been food aggressive. He was rescued at 16 weeks from a hoarding situation - I'd never put 2+2 together. IME the other bunnies just learn to play / eat similarily. Even little Mousey runs off with her food if its a single item (eg big sprout or kale leaf oppossed to a pile of forage)

RE: food agressions and hoarding: Chibbs was always a single bun until she came here (she lived near another one or two), and she was very unfussed about food at first! But Lopsy's always been so food-oriented he 'teaches' his girls to 'fight' for their share :lol: So it would make sense in the opposite situation that they'd be actively aggressive.

Lovely to see the Big Buns

I couldn't have big bunnies - think the urge to cuddle them would be too strong
