Hello,

    A few months ago, I wrote about my trouble bonding my 2 neutered male bunnies, Dexter (siamese cat colored) and Simon (black).  I have a NIC “condo” made for Simon (he jumps out of XPens somehow) while Dexter is in an XPen in my 2nd bedroom, which is the pet/storage room now.  They each get at least 1-2hours of outside time in the room.  Dexter will follow SImon if Simon runs around his pen, grunting a few times.  But, both bunnies, after running and playing for a while, will end up sitting right next to the other and both look happy- they even groom each other through the bars of the XPen/NIC.  I haven’t tried letting them both out at the same time in a while, but the last time I did, they fought.  Can bunnies be happy with a neighbor/friend even if they aren’t in direct contact?

I’ve had Simon for a year, and Dexter for nearly 9 months and have tried all of the “tricks-” car rides, unfamiliar territory, etc and, while they don’t go at each other immediately, it always ends up with circling, grunting and fighting!  No one has been hurt, but I could make a sweater with all of the fur that has flown!

Thanks!
