* Bonding: Rabbits need to be properly bonded before being housed together. Baby bunnies are especially vulnerable to injury during bonding, as they are still developing their social skills and may not understand how to interact with each other.
* Dominance: Even if they seem friendly at first, there's a risk of one bunny becoming dominant and bullying the other. This can lead to serious injuries, stress, and even death.
* Space: Baby bunnies need plenty of space to play and grow. Putting them together too soon could lead to fighting over territory.
Here's what to do instead:
* Introduce them gradually: Start with supervised playdates in a neutral area. This allows them to get used to each other's scent and behavior without the pressure of sharing a living space.
* Observe their body language: Pay close attention to signs of aggression or stress, such as flattened ears, teeth grinding, or chasing. If you see these signs, separate the bunnies immediately.
* Consult a veterinarian or rabbit expert: They can provide guidance on bonding and housing rabbits safely.
Remember, patience is key when bonding rabbits. It's better to take things slow and ensure their safety than to rush the process and risk injury.
