I have just moved house and before I had my 2 rabbits (male & female both neutered) in a single cage but had free roam of the flat and they got on really well occasionally humping but most the time would sit and lay together and groom each other.
I have now moved back into my parents and obviously brought them with me, I have kept their cage the same and made a pen for them so they have some run about space. For the first day then didn’t really move much I kept going in a stroking them and giving them some spinach but left them be but all of a sudden they started fighting the female she’s rather vocal and keeps grunting and I think starting the fights but not sure.
We then decided maybe they are just getting a bit aggy and pissed off with each other cause they didn’t want to leave the cage as a bit nervous which I understand as it’s a new house with new smells. We put them both in the lounge were they’d have a bit more space and would hope it would sort them out, it stated off fine they ignored each other and smelt each other then they started nipping each other and pulling fur out and again not sure who starts but both pull a bit off fur out, it’s not a lot to leave a bald patch but still a little clump you see of the floor, they all will chase each other.
I’m asking for help cause I’ve read that nipping can be playful and should leave them to it but if they are pulling bits of fur out is it then fighting and should I try rebond them???
I’ve currently separated them and they are in cages next to each other so they can see and smell each other and will have to let them out one at a time for now.
