  Hi There,
  
  So I have gone from never having had a bunny to now having two. We went to the shelter to look at the dogs and came home with a second bunny . I did not take Rex (my first guy) to meet the new bunny (brownie) before hand. I have them in 2 enclosures near each other. I let Rex out to look at brownie and he got close to his cage and then he started trying to bite brownie. I now make sure that he cant get too close. I am waiting to let them meet each other until I have taken brownie to the vet to get a check up. They are very interested in each other, but I am worried about this preliminary meeting. is this normal? Also they are both fixed males. Rex is little, feisty punk who owns the whole living room, loves to be petted but hates to be picked up. Brownie is a little bigger and seems to be much more docile and likes to be held and will sit still and have you pet him for a while. Any advice would be great

  I don’t think that is necessarily an indication of a mistake. Just make sure the meeting is in a neutral space.

  It’s definitely normal for a bunny to defend their space against an intruding bunny (hence the biting). Like Sarita said, make sure you do all your first bonding work in a 100% neutral area.

  Definitely want to do any initial introductions in a neutral space. A great bonding primer can be found here:
