So some of you already know this but wanted to update those that do and let you know know what has happened.
Oakley and Boston lived happily as neighbours pre neuter. Pre bonding went great , bonding did not.
Vicious attack fighting – Oakley leading with aggression. Instant fighting and high stress.
From there things got worse and worse. Oakley spent all day territorial , thumped all night and constantly felt the need to defend from the “evil” bunny across the room – even once out of sight.
Boston has bad vision which heightened his stres to Oakleys thumping etc ( they could not see each other anyone but Bostons hearing is heightened by the seems from the vision issues)
Boston became sick from the stress – vet said it’s stress induced flare up and recommended we find one a home where he won’t have to be scared or defend his territory ( depending which bunny )
Well with Bostons health issues we decided to rehome Oakley instead as I felt a great home for a healthy bunny is easier to find , and it worked out great.
Oakley had love at first sight with doe!!! He is now living the life of a spoilt free range bunny running the house with his new girlfriend living with a very experienced house bunny owner and her doe. Well HIS doe now
Boston is now no longer stressed and is very happy in his new bigger pen area
We may possibly consider a doe as a bond mate for Boston in the near future since Oakley took so well to his doe even though he is so territorial …. we will see.
Boston is bonded to me anyway and getting 22 hour attention between us all home at home so he is happier anyway
