I would think that he is just in a funk about Myrtle. Do you smell like her when you go to pet him? That could be a reason that he doesn’t want you around. But it’s good that he isn’t showing it aggressively! Ophelia honestly terrified me when I brought Quincy home. She would just lunge and charge at me all the time, I never thought I could be so terrified of a 3lb fluff ball XD

Myrtle hasn’t really shown any hormonal behaviour apart from the odd Thump and buzz noise. She has been ok. It’s just Finn. Finn hasn’t shown any hormonal behaviour either…no sounds…no thumps. Nothing. His just grumpy.

His regrowth has been seen by the vet and is just a slither. It’s not an incisor but his vet will no doubt check it again on Saturday.

Because his Vac and Myrtle happened on the same day it’s hard to figure which is bothering him. His appetite is fine, so I would assume if it was about him feeling unwell this would slump.

In fact his acting in a similar way he did when his sister was around. i want to make sure he will be happy with another bunny. Finn would just put up with it not be aggressive but I don’t want him to be un happy. When his sister passed he perked right up. 

Another forum has suggested a Pre spay bonding sessions so he feels less threatened. As I can’t move her to another room due to her crate size. I want going to take them to a bonding service after her spay. So I really don’t know what to do.

I personally wouldn’t do a pre spay bonding session. I just don’t see the need for it. I don’t think anything that happens pre spay is any indicator of how they are likely to be once you start bonding after a spay. Except for the fact that if there is anything negative that occurs you risk this impacting bonding in the future. Of course this is just my personal opinion and others may chime in with more useful information. I just think that it’s something Finn is going to have to get used to and things just take time, he will be curious and out of sorts because it is something new and as long as he isn’t severely distressed then I don’t see any issue. I had my two side by side for about 3 months while I waited for spaying and healing time before I started bonding and the more time that passed the more comfortable they got.

Thanks Guys. I am not going to introduce them until she is spayed. I know rabbits hold grudges so i am not doing that and risk anything. To be fair they are already pre – bonding. None have an issue seeing one another. Finn dosen’t seem to care and Myrtle as interested as she in Finn just goes about her daily binkies 🙂
Finn however finds more joy in self grooming. The fact that none are trying to reach one another as much may be a sign that they are use to one another — after all they can see each other from the other side of the lounge all day.

Finn seems to have perked up a little this evening, however I haven’t let him out yet. So I will know more later. If it is his Vacs should i hold off getting his VH2 done this Saturday for a later date? I could take her in instead to see if she can be spayed yet. 

He seems to have perked up a little tonight so it may have been the vaccination. We shall see. But I think I might delay the next vaccination until the end of the month since its taken him over a week to recover from the last two.
