My 2 bun took 6 mth. to bond, in btwn. there were some really angry fights btwn. the 2. The important thing is, are yours 1 male + 1 female? If so, take them to a neutral territory like your backyard, about 20 min. per day, and introduce them.

If they fight too much in that 20 min., separate them

Other than the 20 min., make sure they lives in separate room

I personally would not put them together while they have wounds from fighting but wait for them both to heal before reintroducing on neutral territory.

Were they bonded before they spey? Did they go into one cage after coming round from the anaesthetic or were they in two cages?

It is really important they are bonded in neutral territory for short supervised periods each day-preferably in a smallish space(like a kitchen) where you could easily intervene if things got nasty.
Hopefully there will be some experienced bonders on here soon-good luck-Sue:wave:

You should wait at least a month after their ops to bond them - preferably 6 weeks really.

They still have a lot of hormones. As someone else said here, female buns can be particuarly territoral, so always pick a neutral zone to start them off, and always expect some fighting and fluff. seperate them only if it becomes nasty. Try to do longer bonding sessions like a whole day. Some prefer to do 48-72 hour sessions and not go to bed, but like me I won't be able to do that so would stick to longer day sessions.

aw my two girls faught and ted had to get stitches, one is now spayed and ted is going in on monday,i'm hoping that i will be able to bond them, could you leave them into a rescue centre that could bond them for you? it's scary seeing them going at each other. i hope they settle down soon for you. x

JRN1310 is brilliant at bonding. Perhaps send her a message? She bonded my two rescue rabbits and does it every weekend. Hope you get sorted.
