How long did you wait to leave your bonded buns alone?

I have to go to work tomorrow.
Bear, Alice and Talullah will have been together over 50 hours all being well.
If they continue on the way they have done so far I'm going to leave them to it.
I won't be leaving the house until 12, will be back at 4 for an hour and hubby will be home not long after 5.
It's nerve wrecking but all they do is sleep I the daytime anyway.
How long have you waited to leave your bonded buns? I feel like it's to soon but can't not go to work and it's going so well...
 
I think you need to trust your instincts on this one,
My first bond could have been left alone the first evening they were together, my second I waited until they'd been scuffle-free for 24 hours and I just felt they'd worked things out.
 
It's so difficult to be specific as they are all different but I would say if they have spent 2 nights aand almost 3 days together without a hitch then you should be ok, emphasis on the should. We reckon on 3 days average after which it should be safe to leave them.
 
Thanks this has reassured me.
I've actually just popped out to the shop, came home and there all soundo, Alice is snoring her head off :love:

I also go with my instinct, as all buns & bondings are different. If there has been no problems for 24 hours then I'm happy to leave them while I pop to shop. If they have been happy for 48 hours then I may leave them a bit longer.

However, if they are in a bonding pen, expanding the area may set off minor fur pulling/chasing/humping so I wouldn't recomend expanding their area unless you have another full 24-48 hours again. I found that when I gave Bugsy & Bramble the whole bedroom last week, Bugsy started chasing & humping Bramble for the first time, even though they had been in a 6 panel puppy pen for a week with no issues.
