Seperation needed
So a decision was taken to split up my terrible too, Blitzwing has became a bully.
At meals time she would attack him and then it developed into him playing with toys, him getting a head rub, at sweetie time.
She is only like this when they are in the pen or when food is involved.
So they now have seperate pens, at meal and treat times they will be in their own pen.
She has became a very jealous greedy bunny, and has only started the attacking behaviours when I was admitted to hospital, so I am wondering if she has some adandonment issues. She was four when we got her and I wonder how she was given up has had a impact on her. There wasn't a lot of info giving about her, other than her owners couldn't look after her anymore and she was in a unsuitable cage.
Best pals when they are out.

Re: Seperation needed
Sounds like she is attention seeking. Maybe if you don't feed her/them but let someone else do it for a while. Same with fuss.

Re: Seperation needed
She still goes for him when no one is paying attention and he starts to play with the toys, it has gotten gradually worse.
It started off just at feeding time, then moved onto anyone walking into kitchen, to just nearly all the time.
John was feeding them when I was away and also when I came back(I wasn't fit enough to care for them for a few weeks). I have no one else to care for them.
She is a very sweet rabbit, when they are out the pen she waits her turn for cuddles and kisses. She always makes sure she knows where you are and nose bumps you every 5 mins. When she in the pen or near food she is a demon to thundercracker.
The seperate pens is so far working. Thundercracker has been able to eat his dinner in peace and she has been relaxed a bit more, still greedy eating but not killing her food first.

Re: Seperation needed
oh no, what a nightmare hopefully they can get to a point where you can have them back together full time again. Bunnies are such hard work.

Re: Seperation needed
They love being out playing together, just need their own dinner space.
Lots of treats and new toys to keep them occupied.

Re: Seperation needed
They are great. But still have their seperate pens.
Both of them are so much happier, binkying about in the pens, killing the veg as it arrives( just blitzwing) and then they have zomies about the room when they are out.
Thundercracker went through a phase of humping but that's calmed down again.
Both had a haircut, thundercrackers is a bit more extreme than normal.
What two different bunnies all due to seperate pens, and they know what pens is which they will play in both pens but when they are tired they will go to their own pen.
