This summer we lost Fluffy, the boy in our brother sister pair. A friend lost the girl from her pair and didn't want to take on another bunny, so we are trying to bond her boy, Flopsy, with our girl Velvet. We have got to a point where they can be kept together in neutral territory for 20 minutes or more without major issues.
Often Flopsy will approach Velvet and they will (almost?) touch noses with Flopsy quite head down. I'm not sure if I should interpret that as submissive or asking to be groomed? After a few seconds Velvet will run away, sometimes with a squeak and/or a stamp of the feet. I have no idea what to make of that. Velvet seemed relaxed enough to lie down a few times, but then Fluff would come and sniff at her, then she would get up and run off again.
Overall I think it's positive, certainly more than when they were visibly aggressive, but I can't say I'm sure where they are at.
