So we did some introductions last night! I don't think it really went well, but I don't know if it went poorly.

It turned out that my housemate had randomly tried to introduce one of the kittens to Fudge about a week ago, but Fudge got dominant and actually had bitten the kitten! So the kitten was super afraid of the bunnies. They had a moment where Fudge went up and sniffed the kitten and then lunged at it, no contact, and the kitten gave Fudge a no-claws slap in the face. We eventually brought both kittens in and basically Fudge would scare them, lunging at them, and then lay on the floor with his butt pointing at them in what looks like an "i don't care about you guys" pose. Eventually both kittens were nervous and the bunnies were ignoring them.

Chickenpants, the clearly non-dominant bunny, was pretty nervous the whole time and just kind of followed Fudge's lead. He didn't really engage either of the kittens, though he did do some curious sniffing before bolting away.

So, anyone have any thoughts on this? This was in a pen in a neutral area, where neither animal generally goes. Should we try some more of this and hope that everyone gets more comfortable?

I really appreciate you guys' advice!! Thanks!
