    At 10 hrs of bonding all hell breaks loose!!!

    Hello Blue Eyes, May I ask some questions wrt to the immersion method so I don't mess it up? 1. I note that your set up is relatively confined, but you have 2 areas for food and water, lots of hidey holes, and some toys. Is this so there is no competition between them all for resources? 2. I...

    At 10 hrs of bonding all hell breaks loose!!!

    Thank you for taking the time to answer and for your long and thoughtful response. I have read through and absorbed the information on your website and the associated links. What a lovely resource! We started the bonding process in earnest about 2 to 3 months ago. This was severly punctuated...

    At 10 hrs of bonding all hell breaks loose!!!

    Hi guys, Need your wise and expert help! I am bonding a trio of boys, all neutered, who are under 1 yo. There are 2 brothers (dwarf lops) and one British Giant. I have read EVERYTHING possible on the internet and on this forum about bonding, but we have hit a bit of a snag which I can't find...

    Unbonded buns and depression...

    Ah! Thanks so much for that advice. I have observed that one of the minilops (Butternut) loves to groom the British Giant (his name is Buncephalus...don't ask! My son named him! 😀). Buncephalus is happy to sit and let it happen (and as one of his ears is as long as half of Butternut, then it's a...

    Unbonded buns and depression...

    Oh, yeah! We are building a brand new hutch for them all, as the 'hutch' we bought online was ...ahem...inferior... So they will go into the brand new one, with a brand new run as well. Suffice to say, we have become a rabbit family 👪 😄

    Unbonded buns and depression...

    Thanks so much for your answer! You're right, it's a good idea to bond them. I'd hate for our British to be sad...that being said, I am bonding them RIGHT NOW :)!!! The three of them are doing well, it's been 30 min so far. We have had licks and grooming and a couple of binkies and flops from...

    Unbonded buns and depression...

    Hi guys! I have a bunny wellness question....we have 2 bonded rabbits (minilop brothers) who are pretty happy with each other, and we also have a British giant who isn't bonded to them. They have all been neutered, and lived side by side or at least in cooee for a number of months. They are all...

    Different behaviour when bonding and when not?

    Thanks for that. Thankfully, the new hutch and run is new to all of them but we had wanted them to be bonded before we moved them in. Their spaces where they are in now could be cleaned and reconfigured to suit them all as a trio, but I'm not 100% confident that that is where we are at yet. They...

    Different behaviour when bonding and when not?

    Ah, sorry! Yes, it is an established pair and one newcomer. The minilop brothers were all we were getting originally, before my son decided he'd like one too. The established pair and our large bun seem to get along well on neutral territory, but once back in their pens...

    Different behaviour when bonding and when not?

    Hi there! First time posting...but here goes! Our family recently gained 2 minilops (brothers and both neutered) and also a British Giant (boy, neutered). They are both about 7 months old, and we are trying to bond them. The bonding sessions in our bathroom are going well, and are peaceful once...
