Panicked bunny mummy!! Ear bite

I too did it slowly. We even got to the point where when we were upstairs they got the whole upstairs floor and would happily follow one after the other everywhere, into the bathroom, into the spare room, do a few binkys, into our bedroom run around like loonies and then all flop in a pile in their room. They've been like that for a good few weeks now with not even a minor scuffle so I really don't understand where the fight even came from. They are all inseparable when free roaming each being a bit more daring on where to Venture and then the others copying. Bailey is happy to be out and leave the boys to it but on their own the boys are shy but when together they get confidence from each other and are so cheeky! Didn't do anything different and nothing new to fight over. Just very strange. They are sat in their house bailey cleaning Oreo whilst Oreo cleans Milo. Oreo definitely isn't holding a grudge!

How strange! Well you’ve done everything I would have to be honest. It might just be one of those annoying times where it’s just “one of those things” and you’ll never know what it was only the will.

Hopefully it won’t happen again, but in the long run it sounds like they are doing great and do like each other :-D

That's good to hear :)

These bunny dynamics are really weird - I wish we had a handbook :roll:
 
hello!
why do you think that bonding / rebounding in smaller spaces is better? I would think that a bigger area would be better for them to stay apart and getting closer as the would become more comfortable? I'm having problems with 2 males and last week I tried to join them in one empty house, but they chased and fought. Noe I have them separated in different but in sight cages, and I was planning that when I feel they are more relaxed to try again in a big area, where they can have shelters and join only when comfortable...

I've always been told smaller is better to start with then you grow the space gradually that's how we've bonded ours
 
Bunny update: so we have gradually let them have some time out. I white vinegared the room to get rid of all smells and have been letting them out for an hour a night across the whole upstairs. They all seemed happy and hoppy. Have been out for an hour and a half tonight lots of kisses and following so maybe it was just a blip. Still having them supervised and only when I'm within a 3 second distance but it's looking good so far. Fingers crossed!
