        We have had a female fixed rabbit for about two months now. She is very territorial and for sure head bunny. Last night I adopted a male lion head who is sweet as can be. I was going to try and bond them in a couple months but turns out the shelter hasn’t fixed our him yet! He is still too young so I’ll take him back in a month or so to do that. But until then our female is MAD I let them out one at a time and make sure she is getting love. It’s only been one day so far and she is stressed and Agitated. My question is will she calm down after awhile? They have to share the same space not at the same time but they will have to smell each other. Should I keep our male bum in her sight or should I move him to a different room. She try’s to fight and bite through his cage so I will set him higher. I know I can’t start bonding them until he is fixed and honestly I don’t know if our girl will even like him we have tried bunny dating and it was a no go. I just want both my buns to be happy and healthy.

          Females are notoriously territorial. My female had a month long T A N T R U M when I brought a male home.

          I would set the new bun up in a separate room and let him settle in. This will give him a less stressful environment and give you time to bond with him. It will also help to calm your female down (some). She will probably be pretty upset for a bit, especially while he is unneutered.

            After he has settled and she has calmed down some you would be able to put them back in the same room. Just give them both some space right now.
