For those with multiple bunnies you have probably noticed the intricaties of bunny politics. Amongst my 8 buns therte is a quite definite hirarchy and i wonder how much is down to breed or personality. Among the five bonded bunnies Coco is the top bun followed by her daughter Magic (both are mixed breeds) In the middle (beta) is probably Oskar, a total suck up to the top buns who will also make do with the lower ranking girls though. Next in line is Lint (albino lionlop) and at the bottom would be Asha (nethie)who always tries to stay out of trouble and is such a sweetheart.
TThe rest of them are lionheads who are seperate and have their own thing going on.
What do you think - are the lesser pure breds more likely to be top bunnies in a community setting because they may be better equipped to deal with a natural invironment. I find things like that really fascinating and would love to hear other people's observations.
 
Alot of my bunnies aren't all that dominant, the bun's I find dominant are:
Loretta Lynn (French Angora Doe)
Nightshade (French Angora Doe)
Queeny (French Lop Doe, she tries to hump and dominate the other females & some males)
Cheerio (Netherland Dwarf doe)

That is everyone! Mostly just breeding does that are dominant towards other bunnies, than again they have been bred and are all mature, that could be why!
