Alright, I have 3 buns. 1 boy and 2 gals. All were fairly young when i brought them home.
I have one boy, JD. JD has a very, "I'm better than you" attitude. I've had him for about 4 years now. He's neutered.
One of my girls name is Willow. I've had her for a year and a half now. I was told she's spayed, but i'm doubting that because of how territorial she is.
My other girl is Velvet. I've had her for only 9 months.
JD and Willow are friendly, but JD bullies Willow quite a bit. They haven't had much serious bonding going on besides when they first met. I brought them together in one of the bathrooms in our home with supervision. I had food for them to eat together and I didn't have any big problems.
They now are directly next to each other in there 2 width x 3 length x 2 height cube cages. I've seen Willow actually groom JD through the cube, and Willow waiting with her head down for JD to groom her, and of course he didn't. While they're together outside of their cages it's pretty good. They're fine eating together and everything. JD gets a little snotty sometimes, growling, scratching and nipping, nothing too bad though.
JD is well litter trained but has gone down hill since Velvet has came home... Pretty much everything has gotten horrible since I got Velvet. Me not having a lot of time to let them out may also be contributing to it. I've had a serious hard time taking care of them because the stress of them not getting along, and the 2 girls peeing everywhere to mark. JD and Willow seem to have gone crazy territorial. JD won't let Willow get anywhere near his cage or food while they're out. Willow is pretty much terrified all the time and rubs her chin on tons of stuff.
I've had rough times with owning my rabbits before, got through it fine. I'm just having another rough time. It's just that ever since getting Velvet things have gotten rough again.
I'm just asking for some reassurance and some help. I'm almost going crazy over this.
