I asked this in my blog about bonding my two rabbits, but I didn't get any responses so I figured I'd start a new thread about the topic.
During the past 5 months they have been living side by side. They share a room that is split in half by a long baby play pen gate sectional. So each has his/her own side. I have never had problems with them being aggressive through the gate.
The bonding process has been going great! They have been having dates that range from 1.5-2.5 hours a day during the past 2 weeks. Varying from everyday to every other day depending on how busy I am. Yesterday was their first long date that lasted about 6.5 hours. There has not been any humping or fighting at all during this whole process. So I have no clue who is dominate. The both currently groom each other and lay next to each other. I have successfully increased their space and introduced hay, litter box, toys, cardboard hiding box, and they eat lettuce together.
They currently have their bunny dates in the space that will be their permanent home together, which is my laundry room. Right now they only have access to about half of it. I want to make sure they keep their litter habits before giving them free roam of the rest of the room.
But the dilemma I'm currently in is I don't know if they are successfully bonded yet? I've never done this before so I'm not sure what to use as "signs".
