  To put it bluntly!
  
  My adorable cuddle machines are now teenagers, and I’m struggling to keep up!
  Pascal is slightly better given he’s neutered, but I think to an extent they egg each other on!
  So my bunnies are six months old and definitely hitting that age! They are destruction machines! Particularly Patsy in terms of digging and eating carpet. This has led to me buying a huge fleece blanket to cover the floor so she can dig to her hearts content without me stressing about damage to my beautiful new house!
  I don’t know what to say really except…help! They are always one step ahead of me and two definitely means double trouble! Any advice on who we can get through this age unscathed would be appreciated, any tips on how to make their lives easier too is much appreciated!
  I’ve had buns in the past but I was only 9 when my first went through this stage so without the stress of a new home to protect I probably thought it was endearing!
  
  Pascal was neutered six weeks ago and Patsy is booked in for a spay in fe bit I know we have to ride this stage out so I would really live some tips!

  Teenage bunnies are terrible! Sometimes it’s all about minimizing the damage until you can just get through it. Your boy’s hormones should be officially calming down (4-6 weeks after neuters the hormones go kind of nuts) so you might see a bit more improvement in him.
  
  I’m sending you sanity vibes!
  
  Have Pasty and Pascal been together/interacted at all since his neuter?

  Thanks!
  I’ve got them in a penned in area right now – the new home to explore all at once seemed like too big a step at the best of times, let alone with all these hormones!
  
  Yes, supervised time for the past two weeks which has gone perfectly- you wouldn’t know they’d ever been apart! I’m reluctant to up to contact until Patsy is recovered from her op though!
