Bunnies

[poliphilo]

This is Ailz trying to bond the rabbits. The idea is you sit with them in a confined space and gently but firmly interpose whenever they go to bite one another's bums. A website she consulted said you need to continue the treatment for 72 hours, working shifts if necessary. We managed about twenty minutes.

Then we put them back into their separate pens.

Oh dear...

Do the 72 hours need to be continuous? Because if so, then really...

Rabbits are horrible...

I believe so.

The other way is to let them fight it out. Once the pecking order is established all will be well. Mind you, a few years back, we had a rabbit die from a bite that became infected

I had to do pretty much the same thing with the two cats once Fenway moved in with us. However, when I would go to sleep for the night, they would start in again. Eventually they arrived at a sort of truce in which they start out playing, someone gets hurt, then someone gets mad, and then they fight until someone gives up. They seem to be about evenly matched...
Here's hoping your bunnies arrive at some kind of arrangement - soon.

Letting them fight it out would be an option. We'll see. A few years back we had a rabbit die when a bite became infected. i don't really want to go there again.

I never thought that rabbits would be such hard work. What have you got there? Woundwort and Hazel???

I'm afraid all rabbits are like this.

Oh! That would not be an acceptable alternative...So far my cats have not drawn blood.

Again, I should never have expected this from bunnies.
