  Hi everyone!
  
  I have 2 bunnies (male and female and both sterilized) that have been perfectly bonded for 2 years. This past week my one has had food aggression and ends up nipping and grunting at the other when food arrives – making the one terrified and scared to come and eat. Whereas previously they ate together as a perfect pair.
  
  Absolutely nothing has changed in their environment and I am so confused and unsure as to what to do.
  
  Has anyone experienced this with bonded bunnies? Ps: the male is the one showing the aggression and yes he is definitely the dominant one and always grooms the female.
  It is incredibly odd and I am unsure as to the best way to resolve this and get back the peace between them.
  
  thanks a mil

  Sometimes when this happens it’s due to an illness in one of the buns. Do you think there could be a subtle health issue going on with one bun?
