Hello I had an attempt at bonding the two Angora Does yesterday, and I thought I would take this opportunity whilst they both still have plastic collars on . The bunnies have healed up well after their ops, so I felt it time to start slowly introducing them.
I had been informed they have fought in the past, so felt more confident of having a tentative introduction of bunnies knowing they would find it difficult to bite one another with the collars in place.
Well, it was evident they did not approve of the bonding idea (nor each other :roll: ) and they kept lungeing forward at one another :shock: ...but of course the collars prevented them from biting each other) There was much hopping angrily towards each other, thumping, and then they tried to become rabbit dodgum cars and bash one another
After the initial interactions Eleanor and Crystal flopped down next to each other and just glared .
Once energies were recuperated, they both shot up, and took a running hop towards each other, and managed to lock colllars head on as they did so :roll: so the two fluffs balls were enforced to make direct eye contact :!: :shock: They were pushing each others head back and forth, so I released them.
I am planning to have another short bonding attempt today, but hope they are more friendly on this occasion :?
Please wish us luck, as it would be lovely for the bunnies to be able to live in a social group after being alone for so long.
