Hi everyone! I have two rabbits, Beertje and Teddy. They get along really well most of the time, they groom each other, cuddle, and play together. But there’s one situation that always causes trouble: veggie time.
Every day when I give them their fresh vegetables, Beertje starts attacking Teddy once the food starts to run out. It doesn’t happen with pellets or hay (they have unlimited hay all day), only with their veggies.
When this happens, Teddy gets scared and runs away. If I don’t intervene, Beertje just eats everything while Teddy stays away. After that, Beertje usually finishes all the veggies and then they make up and go back to being best friends again.
But if I do try to stop Beertje, it takes hours before they start acting normal again, like they hold a grudge or something.
I’m wondering why this behavior happens only with their veggies, and what I can do to stop it. Has anyone experienced something similar or found a good way to handle it?
