Bonding bunnies
Hi,
I was hoping someone could give me some advice on bonding. We currently have 4 unbonded bunnies (2 of each) and really would like to have 2 bonded pairs (obviously we would love all 4 to bond but......).
We have bonded bunnies before sucessfully (well lots of time and fights but we got there eventually). First 3 females (Smokey, Shaun and Tilly) one by one. After Smokey and Shaun died we got Jasper (Male) and bonded him with Tilly. After loosing Tilly we tried to bond Jasper with Misty (female) which resulted in emergency surgery for Misty.
Now I am absolutly terrified of the bonding process. Every time a fight or tussle begins I drag them apart and that ends the bonding session.
The current situation is as follows:
Jasper - 3 year old male
Jess - 3 (?) year old female (she came to live with us about 2 months ago)
Jaspers hutch is on top of Jess's and when Jasper is out he can see Jess.
Harvey - 1 (?) year old male (came to live with us in December)
Clover - 1 (?) year old female (she came to live with us about 2 months ago)
Harveys hutch is on top of Clovers and when Clover is out he can see Harvey.
They are all house bunnies and are all spayed. Any advice welcome.
Thanks
