Bad rabbit

In Gus's absence I decided last week to put Carly in the other cage with Edward and Jacques so that she wouldn't be lonely, figuring that as they'd all seemed to get along okay when out in the run in the garden things would be fine. I heard a few murmurings the last few days but hoped they work themselves out. However, much to my annoyance, before I set off for W***ington yesterday evening I heard Carly squealing in some distress and it became clear that Edward was harassing her, so I swiftly decided to take her out and give her back her own cage. This seems a little out of character for Edward, who's a quiet undemonstrative soul most of the time, though I did see him give Jacques a slap when Jacques got too bossy once. Couldn't afford to leave them unsupervised for six days, save for Jon's daily feeding visits, if she was going to get picked on. Well, I hope she won't be unhappy on her own as I'm not going to be getting a replacement for Gus. Maybe if I eventually get Edward bonded with Curtis she can go back in the Jacques, I know they've got on fine previously. We'll see.
