Today has been a nightmare and a little sad also as Twinkle got hurt (twinkle one of the young male rabbits).
I am a pet sitter and we had a young pointer dog come to stay for the weekend, she is very excitable but she was ok with the rabbits, she went up to the hutch and they all sniffed through the bars at each other etc. I put the male rabbits into their run in the garden. Pearl, thats the dog went upto the run and all was well until she started to run around the rabbit run, jumping back and forth, she wouldn't have hurt the buns she was just over excitted about meeting her first bunny rabbits. anyway as you can imagine it totally startled the poor buns as started to throw themselves up onto the side of the rabbit run, then they started to jump on each other. I got quite worried but the worst was yet to come as then they started to fight with each other which they have never done before, they are not neutered but they are the best of friends usually. We had to split them up as fur went flying. The thing was Twinkle got hurt, just where his whiskers are, I had to bathe his little cut that he had. I put them back into their hutch and all was forgiven so after - things went back to normal.
