Bunny Buddy
Wise Old Thumper
TBH I do like the stick with it method but as you say its not practical for a lot of people a lot of the time. I think the bunnies know where they are at better. this "bonding" I'm doing now is kinda working so I can get away with it so far:lol: Some bunnies are just so lovely to bond, like Rudey & Mouse just melted together. I mainly need to work on my self confidence now. I know there is no animosity between them, they enjoy closeness. I need to be assured when he moves quickly towards Boo she doesn't become reactive. I feel I need to get her used to his speed:lol: I need to at least start observing from the sofa rather than within hands reach of Boo:lol: i'm glad you're inspired BB. Apparently the daily dates can get frustrating for bunnies (I've read this more than experienced it). That said if this approach feels more manageable for you defo try it. My number one thing is to be calm & encouraging when bonding starts & be aware of vibes / atmospheres. Gosh I sound like a right hippy :lol:
I break so many bonding rules i'm embarassed to talk about it :lol:
I think the "rules" I have been given are far too rigid and the fact that I can't fit them round my life has just made me not do it. The former rescue owner who used to bond for me will only bond one male and one female, groups have to be one male and several females. I keep reading all over the interweb of successful bonds that are not this combination and I need to try them as that is just so restrictive. I have generally had more males than females. I swear I will try Percy and Spirit this weekend. I now have a pen in my bedroom where Zak very peacefully lives but I can relocate him (poor lad) and use that ideal spot for bonding.
