Anyone know of anyone? Or anyone on here who does it? Or any rescues which would?

Thanks :) x

I know ARC help with bonding, but only when at least one of the Rabbits is Adopted from them. Santa used to be a fantastic source of advice re bonding, but she's at Vet School now. Is it for your Rabbits ?

The RWAF provide some basic information

http://rabbitwelfare.co.uk/rabbit-care-advice/bonding-rabbits/


I am afraid I follow my own 'rules' when bonding. IE I go with my gut instinct as to what is the best method for a particular pair of Rabbits. The only groups I have had have been siblings, so my experience in bonding groups is limited.

I do have a couple of 'rules' I always adhere to- 1 100% no 'Stress bonding', eg putting the Bunnies in a bath tub or taking them on car trips. And 2- If a fight occurs that results in an injury that draws blood I stop and I do not try again.

I emphasise that this is just my personal view for any Rabbits in my care. What others do is up to them :)
 
Last time I was looking, the local rescues would only do it if you adopted one of their bunnies.

I ended up bonding Alfie and Muffin (Alfie's last wife) myself but I was lucky that Muffin was very laid back and just let Alfie do his thing. [emoji849][emoji23]

Yea for Clementine and Atticus, or maybe just all 4 together tbh [emoji38] oh yea I can't be dealing with stress bonding, I don't like that.

My velvets are ridiculously highly strung, never again will I attempt bunny bonding [emoji38]


So I'm basically hearing... add a 5th bun from a rescue and they'll get them all together? [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38] Tbh I doubt one more would make a lot of difference [emoji38] maybe I could say any 5th member you like, I'll take them, aslong as they all end up together and happy [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

I thought you used a bonder before with Atticus and Clementine? Or have I imagined that? Although a group of five would be lovely, it seems a bit extreme to have to rescue another rabbit to get your four bonded together.

I was just kidding [emoji38] Altho I'm not against any amount of buns tbh [emoji38]

Yea I did, I don't think that's a possibility this time around unfortunately though :(

The Rabbit Residence just up the M11 at Royston used to when Caroline was there, but not sure if they still do now.:?
 
There's GBH rescue in Beckenham. I have no real experience of them, but did have an email exchange with Jacky when I was interested in adopting a pair of her rabbits. It may be that she would offer bonding.

Bubbles was from GBH. :) And our hammy Cooper. That was a long while ago though. Jacky is lovely and there was another lady who fostered for her (the name escapes me now).
 
Rabbit Residence no longer offers a private bonding service. Derricks Den comes highly recommended, there's also Rabbit Rambles which is now run as a separate business by Caroline which is near Cambridge.

Yea I saw Derricks den, looks really good, it's just over 2 hours away from me unfortunately, seems a bit far :(

No, I was looking into them potentially to bond my two bunnies once the new one has got over his stasis and more settled into our home.
