Every bun looks a bit bedraggled I know :oops: there's been a far amount of peeing going on as you can see by the state of the floor!

I've just cleaned the floor up and put a couple more litter trays in with megazorb in the hope it'll dry them off a bit, obviously they might start getting a bit territorial over the new trays :shock: so holding my breath a bit!

:shock: wow!!!

I keep wondering about bonding 8... gives me some hope!!
Keep me posted with how it goes and maybe one day I will be brave enough to try!! Are all yours similar temperament? I have 6 friendly and 2 grumps kept in 2 pairs and a 4!
 
Can you imagine how mobbed you're going to get when you walk in with food or a bag of treats?!

Yes, how are you going to manage dishing out the crunchies?! I have enough trouble making sure Jess gets to eat a whole one without Joejoe nicking it out of her mouth so 10 will certainly be a challenge!! You're brave!

They look gorgeous, I love lots of bunnies all snuggled together :love::love:

My girls can all be very grumpy with us hoomins, but they are so submissive and nervous when faced with strange bunnies. All 4 boys wanted to be dominant in their separate group bonds but when they have come together only Max seems to want to run around and hump everybody, the other 3 aren't so bothered.

Lilith was so quiet and submissive when I bonded her with Max but she has caused the most trouble so far with lots of bum biting :lol:

It will amazing if they stay bonded because they'll get the run of the whole house :D I have to admit I wasn't holding out much hope on it working
 
A genuine 'unloaded' question...

How do you monitor input and output when keeping Buns in large groups :?

Input is fairly easy :wave:

(sorry pressed reply too early there!)

Output - I can tell the difference mostly between whose poos are whose, and I keep a close eye for physiological signs - e.g. when Harvey has had bloat I've caught it in the early stages every time.

It is more difficult than pairs though, but only 2 of mine are 'newbies', the others I know well, which is why I feel confident to do it, as I know what they are like normally so can 'read' them :wave: I would never advise anybody to put 10 bunnies together they didn't already know.

And here was me worrying over bonding two pairs :lol: Looks promising :)

I know you put me to shame Nicola :oops:

The Bunny Whisper works her magic again. I will deffinately have to move you in to mine for a week or two to do my lot. I've still not got the boys done though so its quite a way off yet. Just no spare money :evil:
