We have a couple of neutered males who are litter mates. We separated them at around 4 months old as they started to fight. They have now been neutered and we waited around 10 weeks before re-introducing them. We did this by placing their runs next to each other so they could sniff but not get close enough to fight. We then stuck them in the bath, wet them and let the bonding begin. We did seperate them again after an hour or so and repeated this every day for a couple of weeks. All was going good so we brought them into the kitchen (laminate floor for easy cleaning!!) and this is where we saw one submitting to the other. Again, they were separated at the end of the night but there were no issues when they were put together again the next day. So, for the past 48 hours they have been together without separation. They eat well together, I forced a little grooming by putting banana behind the ears of the bunnies and again, all going well. The little one was wanting a drink yesterday but as soon as the bigger one came along, he submitted with his head down straight away. So, we've scrubbed the large hutch to remove any smell of the resident bunny and brought it inside. They have now been in there with the doors closed for 6 hours and they have been munching hay and running up and down the stairs together. Whenever we've gone in to check on them, they have been laid together. Are they now fully bonded? I'm wary about leaving them as I don't want fights to break out when they are put back outside where I can't get at them so easy. The hutch would be under my bedroom window and I always sleep with it open so I would hope I would wake if I heard them fighting. I will say, in all the little skirmishes they had at the beginning, there was never any blood shed, bit of fur pulling but that's the worse its ever gotten. Any advice gladly accepted, these are the first bunnies we've bonded!!
