The vet says that's why he's so mean (Katie). Luckily I got it right with my son and daughter!

Poo, poo, poo, now what do I do? Toby is a bit greedy. He was seized by the Waco shelter as a neglect/cruelty case, nearly starved to death because of his overgrown teeth. He's always chowed down like it's his last meal and I really can't blame the poor little guy.

In their condo, I always made sure at least half the veggies were sliced and torn up small enough he could eat even when his teeth were getting a bit long. In watching them closely all night, I realize Lola has decided she likes them that way too and is chasing him away from the food and it's his hair I found this morning and this afternoon. I stressed T/L for about half an hour in the cube and turned them loose. They seem ok but Toby's reluctant to go near the food if Lola's there and if I put his somewhere else Lola's over there immediately.

I guess besides continuing to stress them together I'll have to chop up more of the veggies so Toby's got a chance of getting his share. and maybe put the piles at opposite ends of the room?

Lola, Lola, Lola.........give me a break!

What about putting Toby and his food in the cube together?

krals, you just have to cut more veggies, I'm afraid. These things will all settle over time, but it can take some months. For the first while after I bonded my quartet, Neigey couldn't get his pellets because Lint and Deirdra wouldn't let him. I would give him some separately for a while but eventually I took them all off pellets altogether anyways.
The plucked fur will be there sometimes, I find some a twice a week, from differet bunnies in my pen. It just means somebunny got disgruntled at somebunny else. Hey, better that it's fur than blood, right?

You're right, I'm just a little overprotective of my little guys. I've only found one bite, that on Lola's butt a few days ago, but I cleaned it and treated it and it seems to be healing up ok. I guess it's the hay that provides the long fiber for them, I don't cut up the parsley because he can pull that in like spaghetti. I cut the larger leafy vegs up into long strips for the same reason and grate his carrots..

On a positive note, this went on for an hour this morning.........they were sleeping so deeply I could step over them without disturbing them!
