I've volunteered to help bond a friends rabbits. I don't know why I have done this because we all know how bad I am at bonding (only 1 bond under my belt!) but they are quite inexperienced. I just hope that I can help.
I usually use the fast approach to bonding but in this situation I think that the slow approach will work better as they both work full time and they have children etc.
So they are going to be living side by side for a little while and take it in turns for playtime. After a little while they will switch litter trays/cages etc and then I'm going to help out with the first introduction on neutral territory in a few weeks.
The new rabbit that they are taking in is currently being kept as a house rabbit and the rabbit that they already have is an outdoor rabbit. Apparently he can't be handled/stroked and he growls and lunges at them so they are hoping that a friend will do him some good.
I'm going round tonight to meet the rabbits and to help set up a suitable living arrangement for them
Does anyone on here use the slow approach to bonding? If so, any tips?
