Hello everyone
I have 2 Holland Lop Bunnies (each about a year old, maybe a bit older)
I adopted these two rabbits from a home that could no longer keep them and they have been with me since February. They have been best friends (they're sisters according to the person I adopted them from) and both are spayed (recently) females.
A few days ago my friend brought their bunny over to have a bunny "play date". Both of us being inexperienced rabbit owners, we didn't really think it through and it quickly turned disastrous as one of my bunnies started chasing my friends smaller bunny until we separated them. After this incident, the more dominant of my two rabbits began instigating fights between her and her sister. Now, they fight each other viciously and each of them have some nasty bites on their ears (and I have some bad ones on my hands too
). I have them separated on different levels of their cage so they can't get to each other.
My questions is: What do I do? I followed the advice of one person and put them in a carrier and drove them around for an hour to hopefully make them seek comfort in each other and rebond but that did not work. Nothing has changed in their environment other than the one night introduction of another rabbit that was later separated from them for the remainder of the night.
If I've left out any information, let me know and I can add it in.
