I still I have alots of bonding sessionsto go with Polo and Potter but they are making progress so I'd just like to know what I amshould be lookingfor to confirm when they are fully bonded.

When they are together Polo is the dominant bunny so he is a little nippy as in "get out of my way I want to sit there" and Potter moves so there is no fighting at all anymore and no "evil" bites just dominant ones. They have started grooming each other and cuddling next to each other. I don't think they have any tuffs because I consider that to be Potter dishing back and he doesn't. They haven't spent the night together yet. The longest they have spent together is about 2 hours and thats because of the pens location - so I can keep an closer eye on them. Soon I will be moving it to the kitchen and they can stay in there longer. They have been in the litter box together once but I have seen them both each hay at the same time but not cuddled up or anything while eating. I know I still have more bonding sessions to do.It can vary with every bunny.
How are they when they are together?
Do they still have tuffs have they ever spent the night together?
Do they eat together?
That's true, Amy, some bunnies do need more space and it certainly helped your two. Most, however, do better in small areas. I was worried my two would fight more in such a confined area, but it drastically reduced the amount of humping and chasing and eliminated fighting. And I haven't seen cementing discussed so much on this forum, but many experienced bonders that I'm in contact with recommend it firmly. Situations like mine (quick easy bond, but some fighting a few weeks after living together) are actually fairly common, which is why cementing is important - just moving them in together can lead to fights if they haven't totally established dominance to everybody's satisfaction.
