Rabbit Chase

Product Information

Playing: Two same-gendered rabbits chasing each other are often just playing. Rabbits chase each other in the wild as a form of bonding or socializing with each other. Your rabbit will need a living space of at least 12 square feet. Also, however, they will need an exercise area of at least 32 square feet.

Significant walking distances. Each part requires a worker walking the entire line (but similar to many other systems where workers walk). Separate the rabbits before you do any permanent damage to their bond. Usually, after a little time apart, the submissive rabbit will apologize. The dominant rabbit may or may not accept this. Rabbits can, and do, hold grudges. 2) Mounting A unique creative product that provides just enough footing for curious readers to explore further on their own. The palette plays a significant role here, with the brown and sepia tones of the real world replaced with dreamy jewel and inky hues, and silhouettes are used particularly effectively, creating an otherworldliness that walks the line between whimsy and menace. The blend of fantasy, gender identity, and supernatural creatures will likely please fans of Ostertag’s THE WITCH BOY.” - The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, 03/22 They should always live in pairs, at least – provided you take the appropriate steps. If your rabbit is going to live alone, keep them indoors in a busy area. This way, they’ll at least receive the stimulation of human interaction and company. How Can I Stop My Rabbits from Fighting? Biting is not always an act of aggression. However, if your pet rabbit is behaving aggressively, it can turn nasty. Rabbits are more than capable of tearing large clumps of fur from each other’s bodies.

Mounting is a normal behaviour in rabbits and you can expect to see quite a bit during the bonding process. In this situation, it's not a sexual activity but an expression of ‘dominance’. As long as one rabbit is doing the chasing and the other is running away, this is simply a dominance ritual where the boss bunny claims their position by chasing the other rabbit. The other rabbit accepts their lower-ranking position by running away instead of turning to fight.

Sometimes, a submissive rabbit will mount a dominant partner. This is the rabbit testing the waters, to see if dominance may be an option. The response of the partner defines whether this rabbit will attempt mounting again. When both rabbits' behaviour suggests they're happy with each other, you can now move on to the next stage. This usually takes a few days to a week (sometimes longer), depending on how much progress the rabbits have made and how much time you have. 3. Bonding sessions Overall, rabbits are loving and docile creatures. However, they are hardwired to defend themselves and their territory. This means that they will never cope will with infiltrators.A submissive rabbit may refuse to groom if she plans to become dominate her mate. By denying grooming, she is saying, “I no longer recognize your authority.” The dominant rabbit will not like this, and a fight is likely. Your rabbit will want to hop, jump and explore. Being crammed into a hutch that’s barely big enough to stretch makes a rabbit very cantankerous. If you would (unrealistically) assume that all workers always have a constant speed, then the wasted capacity would be any capacity faster than the slowest worker. Your rabbit’s chasing likely stems from their natural instinct to play. In the wild, rabbits chase each other as a way to establish rank, practice evasion techniques, and burn energy. This frisky behavior often starts young, around 2-3 months old. Your bun is simply bringing those innate habits into your home. While play comes naturally to rabbits, chasing their owners can be unwanted and even scary. Establish boundaries by redirecting their energy into more positive activities. Try playing chase with approved toys instead or create DIY mazes to occupy their desire to run and pounce. With consistency, you can curb the chasing while still encouraging healthy playtime. Seeing these behaviours more regularly is a great sign and you can begin to leave them for longer periods together. Grooming
