I have a male and a female fixed rabbits that I am trying to bond. I have been working with them for almost 3 weeks now, they are at the stage where they don't fight at all, the female will groom the male, the male will kind of groom the female (he does a half-a**ed job!). They are together for hours at a time in a neutral area with a shared litter box and they do just fine. They don't sleep side by side yet, but totally flop out about a foot away from each other. I also swap their cages every day so it smells like the other bun.
My question is - When can I put them together in a cage permanently? Should they be sleeping next to each other first? I don't want to put them together and have them fight! Any advice is appreciated as this is my first bonding of buns.
