Hello. First off, I've been browsing threads for the last few minutes and couldn't find one that dealt more with males than females, so I figured I'd start a new one. If I'm asking about something that's already been well-discussed (as I'm sure it has), just direct me towards it. Thanks!
We are first-time owners of two male lionheads. Right now they're just over six months old. They have a large rabbit cage (or "rabbitat") they shared up until about 4.5 months, when they started being very aggressive towards one another, but never towards us. After humping and chasing escalated to biting and screaming (awful noise), we separated them. We had them neutered after a visit to a local vet yielded they were of age and weight for the operations. That was three weeks ago today. We've still been unable to put them back in the same cage together without just crazy violence. They're brothers and they seem to absolutely hate each other. We let them out to run the sunroom, and they play individually and have a good time, but when the time comes to put them away, we still have to keep them separated, otherwise there's bloodshed. We've been told that it takes a couple weeks for the testosterone to leave their systems. They don't seem to have mellowed even a little bit. Are we stuck with rabbits who can't be social? Will this ever end? Anybody got any suggestions? Really hoping for a happy resolution here. Thanks so much.
