Task Force
I know there are like 100 bonding threads on here, and I have read them all. But I just really need to get this out. I can't talk to my friends or family, I stopped that months ago when they told me to put my buns together and they would work it out themselves.
This will be my 3rd time bonding Chase and Little Bunny. I have been saying I was going to do this since Feb. Last time I tried in Feb they got into a fight, no bites but lots of pulled fur and lots of circles while they nipped each other and it scared the crap out of me. I couldn't grab either of them because they were moving so fast. That pretty much scared me.
For those that don't know, the bunnies bond was broken when Chase had surgery again and the vet did not want me to keep them together until Chase's stitches were removed. At first, I think Chase was so busy getting medical treatment, she didn't have time to really miss the Little Bunny. Now that everything has slowed down she seems really lonely. I have tried giving her extra attention and playing with her more but she still seems sad. I think she misses the Little Bunny.
The House Rabbit Society has been awesome since Chase has been sick and I have looked to them for guidance and help several times. So I emailed a lady I have talked to several times. She is coming over tomorrow to help me rebond them. She doesn't have a lot of bonding experience but just having another person will help. I made a nice area in the garage where neither of them has ever been. I put cardboard, carpet, litter boxes, toys and hay in it. Everything is ready except me.
When I talked to the lady at the House Rabbit Society she is like when do you want me to come and I wanted to say lets schedule it for next year. I just sat there on the phone not saying anything. Poor lady probably thinks I am crazy. I just don't want to do this. Seriously, just thinking about it I am freaking out. I know I can't act like this tomorrow. I have to get myself together. I am trying to do this for the bunnies, I think they will be happier. Do you think I am doing the right thing?
I have read everything. I know what to watch for. I have supplies to stop a fight. I need to get myself together. I have done it twice before, I can do it again. Sorry this is so long. It felt good just to get it out. Please pray for a good day tomorrow. If it goes bad, I don't know if I will have the strength to try again.
