Hi all,
I've joined this forum looking for specific advice about introducing a small female bunny, still a baby, to our existing 2 year old female. We got the new bunny 2.5 weeks ago, on the vet's advice, as company for our existing bunny, Rosie after her sister sadly died. We have successfully introduced the new bunny, Cutie-kins (our daughter named her!) into Rosie's big outside daytime run (a fenced off apart of our front lawn). Rosie tolerates her, but runs at her a bit. We have been keeping Cutie-kins inside in an indoor cage at night and place her cage and an octagonal wire run in Rosie's daytime run during the days, set up with a gap so Cutie-kins can slip into her bit, but Rosie can't. Today I've noticed Cutie-kins calmly sitting in the run bit of Rosie's hutch/nighttime run with Rosie sitting in it next to her. Rosie's hutch run is big, with about 2 metres of run space and then the nest box part, which is big also. We lock her into it at night so she's safe from foxes. Sorry for the long post! Anyway, my question is, do you think it'd be safe to now lock Cutie-kins into Rosie's run at night? Or would we be better to get a separate outside hutch for her to keep her in at night? Thanks in advance
