        When I pet/groomed my male bun in front of my female bun, the female started attacking me. This also happened when my stuffed dog tried to groom my male bun in front of my female bun; he almost had his eyes ripped out. Is this behavior normal? Or is it that she doesn’t trust me (and the dog) yet since I haven’t had them very long?

          It’s not uncommon for females to be dominant and pushy. Attacking isn’t good – I would try petting her first and keeping her occupied while you pet your boy. As their bond solidifies, she will probably become more laid back about it as she learns to trust you (hopefully)

            Rupert is like that-if I have Kahlua in my lap he charges her. He’s also very pushy with her for treats and affection period. The simple solution is to avoid those situations. I give treats to each at the same time by hand so she doesn’t get hers taken away from him, and I make two of everything so he can’t guard the veggies And if Kahlua needes some lap time, we do it out of his line of view
