Hi everyone. This is my second post on bonding my two neutered males. My previous incessant humping issue went away after following BB’s advice to give it a rest for a couple of weeks until hormones settled down. I had success with bonding Plue and Kyuubey inside their cage. They groom each other and cuddle. I thought they were fully bonded until I let them out to have a free run. Instantly fights broke out and Plue’s dominance mounting happened again. I decided to give them more days inside the cage to let them settle down but it just keeps happening.
My method during bonding was to gradually increase the space until they got along, but it’s just not practical to section my bedroom just so they can gradually get used to each other in this space. I really need some new ideas.
Is it common for bonded rabbits to fight in a new space? I’m getting increasingly frustrated because my goal was to bond them before moving to a new state, and I’m wondering if they will fight all over again even after they’re bonded in this room. I have the most time off right now since I’m on vacation but will be starting grad school soon in September.
