My rabbit throws himself to the floor and rolls over to show his tummy??
The situation is that I am currently trying to bond Ben whom I've had for 4.5 years with a 2.5 yr old bunny called Amber who we got from the RSPCA. Ben was previously bonded with another female who unfortunately died 5 weeks ago.
We're at the stage of putting them together in a natural room, today they didn't fight, but didn't really go near each other either. Ben decided to throw himself to the floor several times rolling over to show his tummy, he then stretched right out with his hind legs flat out behind him - do you think this is a good sign?? Amber was very timid and laid herself down once Ben had rolled himself over.

It sounds like they are at the ignore each other stage which involves laying down pretending the other rabbit isn't there, washing pretending the other rabbit isn't there etc. hopefully they'll gradually get closer together whilst ignoring each other and before you know if you'll have two bunnies sleeping next to each other and they'll stop pretending they can't see the other one :lol:
