With being in isolation for the next 10 weeks+, there doesn’t seem to be a better opportunity to try and bond my 2 boys.
Roo is about 1.5 years, and William is about 7 (got him 3.5 years ago, and was told he was about 3 years at the time).
William was rescued along with his brother, but their bond broke. I tried to bond him into an all-male trio which didn’t work (ended up as a pair and a singleton). Roo has never been bonded. They’ve lived alongside each other both indoors & outdoors for 1.5 years.
William is a friendly but dominant rabbit, who’s always wanted to be top-bun. Roo is a bit nervy and skittish, and slightly bigger than William (they’re both around 2kg).
I can’t bring them inside to bond due to my partner’s allergies, but I was going to set up one of my temporary 4x4ft pens in our outdoor store room, so I can wrap up and sit with them.
Is there a best time of day to begin? Should I lay down straw, or keep the floor bare and with a couple of hay piles? It’s been a while since I bonded any rabbits, and just looking for some reassurance!
