A mum at school has 2 rabbits which have been snipped. One is very aggresive towards the other. She has seperated them, but the run can only take one. Her garden cannot accomodate 2 runs.
Any suggestions?

Thank you

Are they both the same sex? It's quite common for males to fight when kept together even when neutered. Anything can trigger it, new area, spring friskyness, smell of another rabbit etc. Two females are less likely to fight but competitiveness can still trigger it.

I'd suggest talking to a local rescue and see if they will 'exchange' one for another snipped rabbit of the opposite sex. Rabbit's do like company but male-female pairs work best.

Give the Rabbit Welfare Association a call: 0844 324 6090 for local numbers if you need them.

I supposed you're lucky they've been neutered, My friend had two brothers put together (together since birth) suddenly they both starting attacking and scratching out the boys bits and one bled to death She wasn't at home then but found him later.
