Hello,
I have searched and searched through different threads but none are quite the same as what I am currently dealing with.
I have two Netherland Dwarf bunnies, male 3 years (neutered) and female 11 months (spayed). They have always got along perfectly fine but for some reason on Saturday the females behaviour has changed. She is chasing him and nipping him, he warns her off by thumping the ground but she doesn't back off. I wouldn't be as worried but the male is about half the size of her and he seems terrified. They are spending a lot of time in opposite sides of the room, I have separated them during the night. I have taken them to neutral territory, but the male is so nervous now he runs away iif she comes anywhere near him and she's still going for him.
I am incredibly concerned about my male because he is spending a lot more time with me than he normally would, he's house trained but now weeing and pooing outside of the cage which I can only put down to being too scared to go into the cage in case she spots him.
Why has she changed so suddenly?
What can I do to stop her going for him ?
Thanks in advance
