We have two rabbits (3 year old mini lop female, 1 year old mini rex female).  I posted a  bit about them here, if you want the longer story, but the shot version is the lop, Munchkin, came first, Lito the rex was the newly rescued baby.  They had a predictably contentious first several months but have since become best of friends.  Completely fine with each other and Munckin has been shockingly tolerant of Lito’s neediness.  So much so that they’re sharing an enclosure with no issues (with the option of choosing the be apart if they feel the need a break, they let us know).

So then I went and rearranged the furniture.

For the most part, it’s been a success in terms of both useability of the room for us, and for the rabbits.  Total win-win.  BUT, there is the potential for trouble.

What we did was moved the furniture back to the way we had it for most of the time that we lived here before we got Lito.  We rearranged it a bit before she arrived, so Lito’s never seen the room like this, while for Munchkin, it’s essentially back to how she grew up.  And I have no doubt she’s remembers and is thrilled, it did not take her long to get right back to her favorite spot and has made no secret of the fact that she’s finding the help around here is finally doing something right.

But that’s what has me worried.  Lito hasn’t yet discovered Munckin’s spot.  It requires some light furniture climbing, and Lito’s not much of a climber she she hasn’t really explored there yet.  But she’s sure to figure it out eventually.  And I’m thinking Munchking knows that too.  I’ve already noticed her attitude changing a bit toward Lito, especially when she jumps down from her spot.

So I’m just keeping my eye on the situation. I’m a little worried it’s going to become a point of contention, if and when Lito finally gets bored enough with everything else and hops up onto tthe couch.  Any advice on ways to make that go smoother?
