Grooming

[RocketsMommy2012]

Rocket and Panda are getting along great since the last time I've posted on here. They sleep in the same cage and spend a lot of time together. The only issue is Panda will not groom Rocket. But Rocket will go to town grooming her. I just feel bad for him bc he'll give her all the signals that he wants to be groomed but she won't do it. How can I entice her to groom him?

Typically whichever rabbit is "in charge" demands and gets all the grooming with the more subordinate rabbit only occasionally getting groomed back. What you're seeing is likely just the hierarchy of their relationship.

Yeah, Rocket is definitely more submissive so that explains why he does all the grooming. Thank you!
