I am trying to bond two male rabbits that are neutered. One lost his brother who he was bonded to a few months ago and after he seemed to have gotten over the loss of his brother I began looking for a new friend for him and after a while found what I thought would be a good match. My rabbit is 8 months old and the new rabbit is a year and 11 months. He comes from a home with three small children and is VERY tame. At first, I tried stress bonding and the new rabbit groomed my rabbit for a few seconds about three times. After a few more stress bonding sessions in a small cube I moved them to my bath tub and almost immediately I had a bunny tornado. I have since done more research online while swapping their cages with no dates for the past week or so and found some conflicting advice. Some websites say stress bonding works the best and to work from a small space to a large space. While other sites say to start in a large space and increase the size of the space if any issues are encountered during the dates and that stress bonding can create fake bonds. My question is for the people who have bonded a pair/multiple pairs of rabbits. What method(s) did you use and what worked/works best for you? Stress bonding and starting in small spaces or starting them in large spaces?
