Bunsk and Belle bonding diary - U/d wooo! Pt 103
- Thread starter chul
- Start date
When bonding rabbits, preparation is one of the most important things to do this would include having at least 48 = 72 hours clear where they can be watched constantly if required as this is themain time that problems occur.
If you are past this period of time you hopefully will be ok.

I am not past this time so what should I do?

So is it three days after the last hump/chase or three days from the start?
I know it will depend on each individual bond, but as a rule. Do I need a week free to do bonding or just three days?
(Sorry for the high-jack
)I would not leave them if they are still at the early stages of bonding, how long have they been together for?

Every bunny is different and if nothing bad happened then don't feel guilty at all. Sounds like they are progressing with their bond faster than normal, think you said that they are eating side by side etc. Splitting them up last night might have been counter-productive anyway.
Sounds like you are doing a brilliant job, and I am sure that no-one is going to have a go at you, when you are doing something so stressful.

I wont jump on you, but i really must warn you, if they fight today and theres nobody there, you could come home to two very seriously hurt bunnies.
They have never fought yet.
My OH is going home at about 1 to check on them, top up hay etc. He will let me know and take action if anything is wrong.
When I left, they were sat next to eachother eating.
(I am not saying what I have done is right here btw)

You are doing what you think is best for your buns. That can never be wrong.

Yea, I havent said I think I am right or wrong. I will soon find out I guess.
You made a decision that you thought was right with a limited amount of information available to you at that time (ie. nobody had replied); nobody would jump on you for that.
They may well both be fine when you get home; all advice to seperate was given because you can never be 100% certain of that when a bond is so very new.
I think it's also important to make that point because, even though the advice is too late for you, it may help someone else in the same boat in the future.
