  So, Merlin and Luna have been pretty good together, honking, snuggling, eating from the same bowl… they even went in the same carrier yesterday because Luna had to go to the vets to get her vax. But Merlins been ignoring her since?? He will turn his back on her advances and not snuggle or try to mount her…. whats going on here??
  
  He was very into her before. Theres not been any aggression, I’m jsut confused! (and so is Luna, probably!)

  How long have your rabbits been bonded for? I hear some rabbits have off and on again relationships like this.

  She probably smells different to him so he doesn’t totally recognize her as Luna. If at all possible, its a good idea to take bonded bunnies to the vets together, even when only one needs to be seen. I had read about this somewhere so I’ve always just done it. If both bunnies pick up a scent from the vet’s office then they smell alike to each other, the “other” bunny comforts the one who’s not feeling well and they both comfort each other on the ride, etc.
  
  Do you have a blanket or fleece that smells like the real Luna that you could rub on her? I have no idea if that would help, but can’t hurt! She’ll smell like herself again soon, but in the mean time you could do some forced snuggles with them (hold them together side-by-side, pet both, talk quietly to them; its basically gentle stress bonding).
