I've not posted for a while but I now need help regarding the bonding of my furry family. As some of you may know we ended up with an accidental litter 10 weeks ago. Our visit to the vet last week revealed the presence of 2 females and 1 male. Mother is doing great and gained her weight back and the babies were all given a full bill of health and perfectness!!
The vet advised that we get them separated due to the young male and not wanting any further litters. A friend has rehomed a female and she's settled in fantastically! Dad is neutered and mum is to be spayed in 2 weeks. Now my problem is that there is some mounting going on between the young male and female and although it's probably more to do with dominance I can't run the risk of any more kits. Our double hutch is separated off and mum and the 2 young are upstairs with mum and dad is down stair on his own. Should I bond dad and son to prevent any accidental litters as he cannot be neutered for another 6 weeks and the same goes for the young female. Please advise as we go on holiday next week and again at the end of the month and I need to get housing sorted along with mum being spayed between all this. My mother in law is looking after them while we are away so I need to get the most of this done before all this takes place. Help!
