Yes ok its not me despite what other say… this concerns my bunnies.
Two of our three bunnies seem to have had a falling out. Cookie and Frosty. Frosty is being the aggressive one charging Cookie if she walks near. However the thing I don’t understand is that they will still wash each other, feed with each other and lay next to each other, but it seems to be on Frosty’s terms.
Is this Frosty just exerting his manliness and domineering Cookie?
Is it because Frosty is a bit older and bigger than Cookie?
Cookie can sometimes wind Frosty up by trying to steal his food or jumping/binkying into him. Could this be annoying him (he is a very lazy bunny mostly)? 90% of the time they are fine with each other, its the 10% I worry about. Any advice would be useful.
Smudge, the third bunny is happy with both bunnies and just keeps out the way if they start being “nasty”. Smudge loves everyone.
Frosty is a neutered 1 year (ish) male dwarf lop. He has been with Cookie for over a month now and they were getting alone fine. This is why we put them together after we were sure they liked each other and were bonded. But recently just over the past week or so his behaviour has changed and he randomly charges her with grunting and growling. This is very unlike him as he is usually very docile and a big ladies man.
But then he goes to the other extreme licking Cookie all over, laying next to her, bringing her food, etc… all the lovey-dovey stuff.
I just dont want to have to split the three of them up as Smudge has bonded really well with both and it would upset her to split one of them apart.
How do I rekindle the love!?
