  I have a couple of issues with my bunnies bonding but thankfully not aggression. The main thing is the older bunny i have is blind and when i take him into an area he is not familiar with he freaks out. I have him and a new baby bunny and they have their own cages. The issue is my older bunny goes around constantly humping my new baby bunny. I heard that you are supposed to introduce them in neutral territory but like i said my older one freaks out. My main concern is yes now my baby bunny doesn’t get bothered by the humping but I’m scared eventually a fight will break out. They are seperated when I’m not watching them of course but its been about 3 weeks and the same things keep happening. The past couple of days i have seen the baby hiding more. I just need some help on what will be a better way.

  Is everyone neutered? If not, dont bond them until both boys are neutered as hormones are what will likely cause a fight in the future. If the baby gets scared, he can attack in self defense. Your older male can also get upset that the baby keeps running away, causing him to grip harder causing skin break, bleeding, and fur ripping. If one rabbit is hormonal, it can also cause the other rabbit to act aggressively as they can smell the other bunnies hormones. So, get them both neutered, wait a month for them to heal, then try again

  Perfect thank youm the older one is neutered but the younger one is too young right now. I will hold off and then try again after the younger one is neutered. Thanks again
