My Rabbit Caramel :D

I havent posted for a while now, so I now am putting some pictures of my rabbit Caramel. He is 2 and 1/2 years old and loves to play. He lives outside and is a caramel colored bunny. What you have to do now is to vote for which picture you like the most from him. I hope you like this! :D

Do I separate my bunnies?

Here is some information I found from other websites:

It is difficult to persuade rabbits like this to get on with each other, and dwarf rabbits appear to be sometimes more aggressive than calmer species, such as French Lops.

Pet rabbits can be kept together in the same space with different animals, but two or more rabbits in one cage can often react badly.

The fighting can cause severe mutilation, especially of the head and ears, and preventative castration does not necessarily rule out fighting.

One thing you can do is to look at the cage space. The floor area should be at least 0.3m2 for a single rabbit less than 2kg, increased by 0.2 m2 per animal if several are kept together. If the rabbits are over 2kg, the floor space should be increased by 0.1 – 0.2 m2 per extra kilogram of bodyweight.

Providing they have enough space, you can try and see if you can persuade them to get on. Try getting an altogether new cage and put all rabbits into it, with plenty of hiding places for the submissive rabbit. Supervise them closely until you are sure that they will not fight.

However, you may find that the rabbits cannot get on together at all, and you will have to consider housing them separately.
