Really down...

Wise Old Thumper
Tried the buns in the shed, Joey started after 5 ins, went for all of them and me!!! :cry: So i put them in the medium crate out there but he was wound up and still being really nasty and going for everyone so i put them back inside in the big crate, again he went for everyone straight away. So he got a good soaking and put in the small crate next to the washing machine on a spin cycle, once they settled i put them back in the big crate and they seem to have calmed down again now.

Im very deflated... :cry:
 
Oh dear.... :(
Have no advice but I truley hope it all works out! Tell Joey to stop being a big girl about it! :)
 
:( oh no. Don't lose hope it can just take a while. I don't really have any advice to give you, but sending lots of vibes x
 
I ditto what Pie said! I really hope it goes well in the end, I'm sure it will :) all of your buns are gorgeous, they will make a beautiful bunny family :love:
 
Poor you :(

Sounds as if it's the newness that's sent him into defensive mode - maybe keeping their small space/crate inside the shed/new surroundings will make him less anxious when you do feel ready to try them being free in the shed again. :?

I think this is a good idea, chin up sweetie

^^ this was what I was planning to do..

Its very stressful isnt it - im also worried about putting mine in the shed and think all the territorial behaviour will start all over again :roll::cry:

Im sorry Joey has been playing up - I know exactly how you feel - Sooty is still being a little madam at times - saying that its now Oreo whos trying to show whos boss!!

Chin up - Im sure everything will be fine - it just takes time.... lots and lots of time! (patience is not my strong point).
We'll get there in the end xx
 
When ours were rebonding in a pen made of the mesh cubes, just increasing the space by one cube ie. 1ft, started them off scrapping. Putting a bowl of food in set them off. My daughter stroking one of them set them off.

I felt pretty mean keeping them in a tiny pen for 3 days but I think they needed to be in a very small space to really cement the bond. I hope they settle down properly soon.
 
I wish I could offer constructive advice Lara. But I am hopeless at bonding and panic long before anyone else would :oops:

I really hope your four will eventually settle down xx

They were in the medium crate for 5 days and have been in the big crate for 4 days, no problems for the last few days at all, but last night had to put them in small crate again overnight.


How have i gone back to nearly square one in a matter of 5mins??? :?
 
Oh no - it was going SO well as well . .

I am prob not going to be on RU much in next few weeks as very tight book deadlines - can you keep me informed via my e-mail (twigs.way@ntlworld.com) if anything happens (ggod or bad)?

They are now in the shed in the medium crate, i think perhaps they need to get used to the surroundings so have my bedroom window open, theres been a few nips today... feel like ive gone back 5 days :? we'll see... think a few days out there may settle them. Its Joey thats being a little :censored: (i hope) will let you know any news xx
