    Hi guys, just wondering if this is normal or not. I'm currently trying to bond two neutered males (pop and kal) and it seems to be going really well. I never let them hump each others faces, but they are allowed to hump the right way round. so far there's been a lot of grooming and love from...

    I’ve just started intros for two rabbits, my 4lb neutered male Dutch (Oliver) who I’ve had for years, and an 8lb spayed female rex (Nougat) a friend of mine needed to rehome. In the 5 years I’ve had Oliver he hasn’t lived with another rabbit at all. He stays in his run while I’m at work and in...

    New to bonding

    First introduction/ bonding session... We put the cages close together, our rex (neutered buck) was thumping and burrowing and our lop (spayed doe) flopped and groomed herself. Eventually they both flopped. In each cage (they are each in a dog pen) we have water, food, towel and litter tray with...

    Bonding Giants

    I've been nervous about bonding my flemish giants because they're so big and one of them is rabbit aggressive.

    So around 3 weeks ago I adopted an 8 week old female holland lop as a companion for my 9 month old neutered male holland lop. I tried everything I heard about bonding, and for some reason it was love at first sight and the 2 are inseparable. my male grooms her, they cuddle, eat together, and he...

    Bonding Rabbits With Two Different Eating Habits

    Hi all, I am currently in the process of bonding two female rabbits. I've noticed that one of them, the more dominant one, eats a lot quicker than the other one does. This leads to her trying to steal the other bunny's food after she finishes hers. I'm not sure how I will be able to house...
