Thanks to all of you who sent us their condolences after the recent loss of our rabbit Willow.
Now that Willow is gone, I have two males left, Charlie and Harvey. Charlie and Willow were a bonded pair, Harvey always lived separately, right next to them. I spent a long time trying to form a trio but it always ended up the same: Harvey and Charlie fighting. But maybe it was because of Willow.
So I will try to bond the two males (they are both at least 5 years old, exact age unknown as they were adopted as adults) and just out of curiosity, what are the chances of it working out?
Both are quite stubborn and Harvey is especially assertive.
To be fair, we have been watching Charlie closely today and he does not seem heartbroken. Many years ago we had a rabbit and guinea pig living together as a bonded pair and when the rabbit died it was obvious that the guinea pig needed a companion: he was just sitting in his hiding hole, depressed. But Charlie is running around as normal and does not seem to behave any differently.
I am prepared to spend some time trying to get them together but I must admit, it's always all out war and it seems quite distressing for both of them.
