I’m so glad this worked out! I’ve been thinking about you and how stressful it must have been in the beginning there. And there I was all excited about my success. This is great news! It seems like it ended up working out a bit easier than we both expected. Hopefully neither of us has to go back...
Yes to the swapping droppings! What we did was set up two areas for each bunny to take turns living in. Without moving any of the items inside of each area, just swap the bunnies every day or multiple times a day. That way they share the litter box, food bowls, toys and everything with the other...
I’m so sorry this all seems very frustrating. I’ve had issues with rescues in the past as well. It’s to no surprise that those rescues are overflowing with rabbits since they make it nearly impossible to get a rabbit from them. I hope this weekend goes well for you! Keep us updated!
Anyone else introduce a puppy or dog to your free roam rabbit before?
We had our rabbit for 2 years before deciding to get a puppy this past June. I was pretty nervous about all the things. We decided a lab would be best considering it’s lower prey drive than most breeds and it’s friendly...
Have you asked that rescue if they will let you leave your rabbit there to see how she does with one of the males they’ve chosen as a potential bond for you? I’ve heard of rescues doing this. It might help your bunny feel more comfortable too since she won’t be in a place she’s feeling...
To officiate the successful bond of my daughters bunnies, my 6 year old daughter had a “wedding” today.
(Nobunny was harmed in the process, costumes were worn for less than 5 minutes 😂)
It’s still pretty alarming! I’m always thinking, what if this never ends? But then he just pops back up after the dream and is totally normal 😂 he looks a little embarrassed afterwards
Also move the bunnies to the others cage every day to neutralize the space and get them used to each others smell. Keep everything inside the inclosure the same. Just switch the bunnies. I think this has really helped us.
My rabbits never mimic each other. They’ve been side by side for 4 months and I’ve never seen this happen once. There is always a bit of fur pulled during our bonding sessions. I see them bite each other and there is a big difference between dominance assertion fur pulling (which looks like...
Hey there! We’re just starting our bonding sessions over here too. I just responded on the other thread you commented on as well but I wanted to share more of what I think is helping us over here, because I was feeling like the bonding would never start with my two just last week as well. I’m...
