Hey everybody!!! I know you guys are busy, but I want to say something before I cut to the chase. 

I just joined binkybunny.com, so please forgive me if these forums are meant as sources of information instead of new rabbit owners asking questions. I looked around the Internet for a bit at the rabbit websites, trying to find a good one, and finally settled on Binky Bunny, mostly because the website prohibited the discussion of meat rabbits on the home page.  Okay, I’m going to start talking about what I’m typing this for. 

So I got two rabbits about a week ago. I rescued them both from shelters, but they didn’t come from the same place. One is a boy and the other is a girl, since I researched and learned that they make the best pairings, and they’re both fixed. 

I introduced them in different cages and went through all the necessary steps before putting them in their forever home, which is a 5 by 8 foot shed in the backyard. They are getting along fine, but the girl is always running away from the boy!  She’ll be gnawing away at a cardboard box when he comes hopping along, and then she’ll dart to the other box. Same when he comes up to her when she’s in the litter box. Should I separate them again, or will they ride it out? I’m just not sure what to do. 

They’ve never been in any fights or shown even the tiniest sign of aggression, so it’s not like she’s traumatized by him, and she came from a very good shelter and was a house rabbit before, so she was never abused, so that’s not the problem. And she’s completely social and sweet with me (crawling into my lap when I sit in the shed, nudging my hand for more petting, etc. The boy is also sweet and lets me pick him up and pet him.)

I’ll be grateful for any advice any of you guys can give me. Thanks!

And again, I’m really sorry if I’m not supposed to be asking questions on here. I’m just not sure what else to try, and I don’t want the girl to be stressed. Thanks again! Bye!
