Urgent advice needed

I haven't been here for several weeks as my laptop died. I got it back today but it is barely working and is extremely slow. However, more important is that Pickles is bullying Amos.
When I got up today - amos was out in the run. He doesn't usually go into it during the day - it is normally Pickles out there then. I keep my back door and the bunnies half door open when I am home. I heard a massive ruckas and ran out. Pickles was chasing after Amos around and around the shed. This has been going on all day. I don't kno wwhat to do. I have two parts of the shed that are on two different levels - so wee Amos is either sitting on tyhe steps to the highes one or sitting on the highest ledge. He looks petrified and one ear is up and one down - not sure if that means anything. I have given him food up on the steps and I have put a small loo on the top ledge.
I am so worried as this has not happened before. Is there anything I can do? Do I risk leaving the little guy there all night and them both get into a massive scrap? I just want to bring him inside to the house and give him so loving as he looks so miserable put there but I don'[t want to ruin whatever bond they have left.
Please, if you have any advice - feel free - I need all the advice I can get.
Thanks,
Jacqui

Re: Urgent advice needed

Is he just chasing him or is he also pulling fur?

Re: Urgent advice needed

Hi,
I'm presuming they are both neutered?
How long have they lived together?
and have they been seperated at all
(i.e to go vets or anything?)

Re: Urgent advice needed

Male and female - both spayed/nutered. Living together since about January. Not been seperated. Don't appear to be fur pulling - just Pickles chasing Amos until he jumps on the shelfs to get away from her. They haven't been seperated at all.
Thanks

Re: Urgent advice needed

I jax, Miffy and George will still have the occasional punch up usually over a bit of veg, 1 day George will be stealing all of Miffys food then next day she starts stealing. It works out pretty even but its not nice to watch. I would sit and watch them with a water sprayer or just clap when they have a punch up.

Re: Urgent advice needed

My two lops who are never seperated for more than 10 seconds (when i carry them indivudaully to the run - There too heavy!!) lol!!

They occassionally have scraps - sometimes for no partiuclar reason, i clap or seperate them with the brush part of a dustpan and brush - never use your hand as it may get shredded.

Sometimes they can be a little teriorial...

Can i ask when you bonded them is this there next enclosure/house since this?

Unfortunalty with rabbits the smaller the space the more they get on, untill fully bonded. You give them lots of space and they'll fight (pull fur included) about whos is who's - I had it with Patch and Pebbles.
