rabbit memory

Question
one of my rabbits (marilyn) is being spayed and the other one (bonnie)was spayed before we got marilyne. because we dont want bonnie to hurt marilyn's stitches we are putting them in separate cages. will they forget each other?

Answer
Hi Kartie

There is a good chance that you will have to re-bond them.  Since they will both be spayed now the bonding should be a lot easier.  Just remember when you re-introduce them to start in completely neutral territory.  You also want to wait at least 30 days after her surgery to make sure she has completely recovered.

Here is an excellent site for bonding in case you get in to trouble.  They will also take phone calls if you run into trouble.

Good luck with Marilyn and Bonnie.
