After reading some positive bonding threads on here I have decided that I am gonna try it myself.
I am back from Iceland on 13th May, and all going well I will go down to the spca and pick up Herbies new friend the next day. I am off work on the Thursday before so was thinking of going down to meet said bunny to check she doesnt hate me, and then hopefully they will reserve her for me. I will also ask if I can take Herbie with me on the day that I am picking her up and see if I can have them meet for a wee while before I leave with her.
I have ordered a puppy pen this morning. Plan is to set that up in a different room to the one Herbie is in just now. Put the two buns in the pen for a couple of days in neutral room. Clean & bleach out Herbie (& Inca's ) room & stuff.....move the puppy pen into Herbies (& new buns) room after a couple of days, but still keep them in the pen, and then gradually increase the space.....does that sound OK to the bonding experts out there, or should I do anything different?
Thing would be that I have to go back to work two days after, so would it be ok to leave them alone do you think....or is that just a wait and see / judge later type thing?
