I’m not going to lie I’m nervous, but I’m really intrigued to see how Luther reacts when he first sees her in the bonding room xx

She’s so sweet! Still weary of at the moment but seems to be settling faster than I thought so that’s good.
Oh yes
the RSPCA got her done 09/01/19 so basically ready to bond very soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So spent some time with her this morning and we saw her flopping already! I think that means she’s settling already.
I noticed during our visit and here she’s been scanning, I know this can be a normal bunny thing but it can also be early signs of E.C. And I’m not sure she’d be relaxed enough to do normal scanning. So I’m giving her lapizole for 28 days to be sure anyway, plus it’s also a wormer so covers all bases anyway and can’t hurt.
Also keeping an eye (no pun intended) on her left eye as it’s quite wet which the foster lady said she noticed yesterday morning.
She clearly has a good digestive system because her poops are way bigger than Luther’s or Truffle they look like proper wild bunny poops
But so far so good x

Beautiful girl! She looks very gentle and relaxed too. She will have such a wonderful home with you. I like Grace also. Hope the bonding goes well xx

Hello lovely girlie :wave:
If you're giving her Lapizole then you ought to also give it to Luther before they meet. Otherwise if he's carrying the spores of E.C. he will simply transfer them back to her.
Bleaching the litter trays with 1% bleach on days 21 and 28 of treatment helps interrupt the lifecycle of the parasite (I did this more often). Sorry if you already know all this

Thank you so much that’s really sweet
She’s not quite trusting us yet but she seems to settle quite quickly, hopefully she will realise this is it and she doesn’t have to move home again so can enjoy it here.
Thank you, me too! This is our first time with one male and one female so I’m hoping we find it simpler xx

Well I did both Truffle and Luther when we first got Luther just to be safe and just so I knew both had been worked too, do you think he will still be ok from an E.C point of view if he’s done it once?
As I have the lapizole open now I was going to do the 5 day course which is for worming for Luey so he’s clear for that too.
Oh that’s a really good idea with the litter trays! I didn’t know about that, I’ll add a note on my calendar to do that near the end like you say. Thank you

Yeah I think in that case I would probably do a nine day course for Luey, just because bonding is stressful
Will you start the bonding before the 28 days is up?
I'm ultra cautious and I did a 28 day course before putting my hoodlums together, but I know others have differing points of view.

Oh ok cool I’ll do that then. Glad I did it for him all that time ago now.
Well the insert of the meds says 14 days keep away from other bunnies then it’s ok. So I was thinking 14 days then have him come up with the divide in the room.
It’s just a shame that until the 28 days he can’t smell any of her litter tray business etc to start the bonding etc.
Haha hoodlums! They look nothing but ;-) hehe x

Well they could see each other, but would you want to swap litter trays too? 'Fraid I don't do my bonding this way - I just go for it - so can't advise there.

I’m glad it made you laugh. I oftern talk to mine like this when I’m spending time with them or if they are being naughty.
I hope the bonding goes well and that Luther has listenes and takes on board the little chat.
Mine have had the don’t chew this lecture today lol

I don’t know lol I’m just going off what we did with the boys haha! This is all new to us again now. The boys were our first bunny pair so I’ve no idea what to expect with a female I’ve only had one and she only lived a year :-( (I was only 6 or so).
To be fair when it was the other way round and Truffle was downstairs and Luther was upstairs Truffle treated us like traitors for smelling like another bun, so far Luther hasn’t been bothered at all lol.
Thank you for that it’s really useful. I worry if it will cure it or if it is E.C will she always scan?

You may have heard of the rabbit lectures Frances Harcourt Brown did for bunny owners? Well she did one on EC. In it she had videos of my Boo scanning. I was a bit freaked out thinking it meant Boo had EC. Turns out FHB said she used to believe scanning was (sometimes) caused by EC but didn't anymore. Hopefully its just eyesight probs. Boo scans a lot when spooked or in unfamiliar territory but you can go days without seeing it. Does her fosterer recall scanning? Do you know if she was given panacur by the RSPCA - some rescues do
Good luck bunny bonding ! I start panacur a day or two before bonding. i've been working off fHB advice who was my vet for many years. Its 4 years since I bonded bunnies so checked this out with my new vet last week (she has just moved to the practice FHB set up and has since retired from)& she advised I go with what I'd been doing previously. My current vet isn't a specialist but is rabbit interested & savvy xx
