Thank you for your response We might try a very brief closely guarded contact. Will let you know if we do and what happens. Rita

Hi, everyone, I have posted about my two rabbits Boo and June. They live side by side in a large divided room. They are both dominant Does and would fight terribly when we tried to bond them. They have been living together this way almost two years. In the past few months I notice them trying...

They do seem relatively content. We may try again when we are feeling strong. Thanks for your reply. Rita

Yes, both bunnies are spayed and we did bond in neutral territory. We even tried stress bonding which worked for short periods of time. They are both sweet girls with very strong doe territory instinct.

Thank you so much for your response. That makes total sense to me as I think they are trying to make the best of the situation. When they were together I felt that on some level they wanted to just get along but the instinct was just too strong to fight for dominance. I just want them to be as...

Hi, my name is Rita and I posted on this forum about a year ago. One of my two bonded bunnies died and I adopted another. We tried to bond them but they just about killed each other. So I split a room in half put up a fence and they have lived side by side for the past year. I often find them...

Thank you so much. I will! Rita

Thank you for your reply. Your comments about Boo (my female Doe who lost her mate) makes me fear that she will do the same to all the bunnies offered for bonding. In which case I take your suggestion and split the room in half or give June (the adopted bunny) back to the humane society and...

They do not lunge at each other through the cage and sometimes they groom themselves side by side with the cage inbetween. You don't think that denotes some comfort? Rita

Thank you so much for all the information in your thread. I initially hurried on getting a new partner because I was told that if my grieving Doe was left too long alone she could possibly go off bonding with another rabbit altogether. Bad advice but it made me worry. The reason I want the bond...

Hi, my name is Rita and I have recently poted about bonding my two female dwarf rabbits. My husband and I have tried to bond them doing everything in the book but they are still very aggressive with each other. I had considered returning the adopted bunny back to the Humane Society but I just...

We have considered that possibility.

Oh and both are two years old as well. Rita

Yes they are both fixed. They are both female, both Netherlands Dwarf and both about two and half pounds. The only difference is one is white and brown and the other is black and brown. Both are very sweet on their own but monstrous to each other. Rita

You are probably right. After discussing bringing June bug back to the Humane Society we have calmed down and. committed ourselves to rotating their time outside of their cages. We will keep trying over time. As I said the getting along when one is in her cage might be as good as it gets...
