Individual rabbits prefer different food. As long as you are offering a variety, don’t worry about it. You could try getting fresh hay from a farm rather then the crap they feed in pet stores, or cereal to replace the fiber in hay.
If they aren’t bonded, it may be very difficult. Consult a rabbit expert.
Some rabbits can be extremely aggressive towards other rabbits unless effort is made to bond the two over time, spaying/neutering both parties is key in making this process successful.
hey.. youre just being pessimistic. let them be..
Separate them. The small one is probably intimidated by the larger. The bigger probably said something like, "You touch that good stuff and you’ll find out what else these big teeth of mine can do." Give them some time apart, but not too much time or too far apart, they are social creatures and it would cause a different distress.
They should be fine, as long as your other rabbit isn’t getting to fat. If they are fighting over food then they need to be separated. Its strange that they eat different things, but treats should be kept to a minimum. That may be why the other is fat. Dwarfs are small anyway so they will eat less. Just watch and make sure that you cant feel the ribs and back bone. If he starts looking sick you may have to separate them to feed them properly.
send them to kindergarden?
OMG!!! I HAVE A DWRF RABBIT NAMED OREAO TOO!!!! how weird any way put in seperate places wen they eat..
I have learned TONS about rabbit health, care, and behavior thru the yahoo group Etherbun.
My dwarf bunny also thanks the people on the yahoo group for teaching his owner how to better take care of him!
separate their food that way they know whos is whos
They should be in separate cages. You can find a cage with a wire divider so they can still see each other and keep each other company but have separate food dishes. Give Sniffy only pellets, he’s just spoiled and when he gets hungry, he’ll eat the pellets. Go easy on treats also. Good rabbit pellets are a balanced diet so they don’t "need" any extras.
