Firstly both of my buns are fixed. So its not that.. Just tp get it out of the way.
I've bonded feral cats to other cats; dogs to cats, bunnies to cats; but 2 bunnies seem beyond my reach?! Bax and Gab (aka Gumdrop, aka Gabbi) every single time I try to get them together "I" get bitten and they get irritated with each other. They also can just "LOVE" each other through the bars of Gabs Xpen.. Not sure why the bars give them so much security - as the minute they see each other outside - they/Gab's starts to circle and become very aggressive if they both are not under my hand.
I have more knoweledgable bun people over to my home to"show me" how to bond them, and their whole approach is sitting with each bun "head-to-head" for 15 minutes then putting them away.
Then you wait..
Try again..
I've done this a few times on mine own. Tried for the next time to let them "Romp About" (as I assume we have made progress) and then they both turn into "Sumo Wrestlers?", and hate each other for the next 48 hours..
I've read the bonding process on the boards library and am thinking its ME? Not sure what to dne bun Loves me (Bax the first) Gab's likes me but is not sure and she is the one that is the "Holy Terror" during bonding sesssions. I think she feels dominant but is the one with the most "restrictive space" (lives in an Xpen in the living room - gets time out every morning and night but watches the other animals run past her pen - can't even imagine what she's thinking)..
I'm sure its me- but tell me what I'm not picking up on or it can just can take this long.... Lord help me.
