        We have 2 house rabbits, one of which is a lop and the other is a mini lop. 

        We got blue, the older one by around 2 months, first. Then we got Oscar. They have been in separate enclosures ever since we got the second one whom we adopted. By this point Blue had already started showing signs of needing neutering, he was spraying and mounting things, running wild around us and grunting. At this time Oscar was fine and showing no signs. The vet advised us to get them both done on the same day, which we did, so their recovery time was roughly the same and they could recover together. We were also advised to leave them completely separate for 6 weeks and slowly start moving the enclosures closer together each week after that as well as getting them out together for 5 minutes in a neutral environment, so we did. We are still having problems as whenever they are together Oscar is ripping chunks out of Blue. We are struggling as we have no idea how to keep them together indoors as we dont have the room for 2 separate enclosures. They need to be in the same enclosure but separated. Any ideas???? Help!?!?

          How about, you keep them in the same cage but build a wall between somehow?

            Have you tried any prebonding and bonding tactics? Or are you just throwing them together and hoping for the best?

              No, we have tried bonding them since the day we got the second one, they have both been in a neutral environment and as soon as they are near each other they fight! we have taken vet advice on bonding them too, so no we are not just ‘throwing them together and hoping for the best’ they are separated.

                we have considered that, we are thinking of building a big enclosure separated in the middle. Thank you
