Thanks Omi,I think I would give it a try with a larger space at the weekend. I know that this is contrary to some views, which will advise to keep the bunnies in a smallish space until completely settled, but I personally think it's good for either one to be able to run away if being chased. It will also provide more interest for them. Frustration or irritation isn't after all good for relationships.
You'll be there to intervene if necessary too. I would anticipate that it might cause a slight reaction when you first open up their space, but that long term it might be beneficial.
If it's a disaster, you can always go back to the smaller space.
The rescue bonder thinks we should try extending the space too. I'm working Friday and out in the evening. So I think it will have to be the weekend. I think he needs to release some energy, I gave him a ball with a bell in it which he chucked around lots and I called him a good boy which he likes and chucks it around more. So I think that gave him something to focus on.
How much would you extend the pen by?
I was thinking making it 1.2m by 1.8m which is another 2 panels.
Or I could double it and make it 1.8x1.8m?
