Hi all!
I got my first bunny Luigi a little less than a year ago and things were swell with him at first. No problems litter training and he was pretty friendly after the first month or so.
About two weeks ago, my mother adopted another rabbit from the shelter. We have no previous experience bonding rabbits so this is all new to us. I was told at first (I was away at college at the time) that they didn't get along at all at their first introduction at home. I think my mother was wrong introducing them first in my room, A.K.A Luigi's home.
They will fight if they are both loose in my room. They do better when they are loose in a different room that is probably "neutral territory". So far, Luigi has gotten a bite to the ear and shoulder but nothing serious, yet. Should we keep trying or are they always going to have to be separated?
Also, the new bunny Shadow constantly poops outside the litter box. He was also peeing outside the boxes too, but that seems to have stopped. We have two boxes in my room, plus one in each of their cages. The poop seems to be concentrated to one corner, but it's a pretty big area. Is there anyway to stop this?
Help!
