I adopted my first rabbit Ginger 1.5 yrs ago from a shelter. She was about 2 at that time. They told me she was ignored and lived in a small cage outside before and was very shy. After spending all the time together, we develop deep bond and I think she trust me deeply and likes people. She is still shy and doesn't show affection at all be I can feel she trusts me.
I recently adopted my second rabbit because I want Ginger to have company. I got Quintin, a 4 months old boy. He was handed to the shelter by his previous owner. He is very curious and energetic. He is very shy in front of human, like he doesn't want me to pet him but he loves other bunnies.
After I took Quintin home, I started bonding them. Quintin showed interest and love to Ginger right away and showed submission early on and started grooming Ginger. However Ginger was not interested in him at all felt him super annoying all the time. She nips Quintin constantly to tell him get out of her way. She groomed him once, but nipped him right after. I feel like Ginger is just an antisocial bun and doesn't want to do anything with other rabbits. I'm a little concerned about the situation right now. Poor Quintin keeps going to Ginger and gets nipped back... Does anyone have experience with an antisocial rabbit?
One interesting thing I observed is Ginger shows more affection to me after Quintin came. Maybe she is just jealous or territorial?
