Hi everyone
I have been bonding my wildie bun Spudsey with new black bunny since 3.30 this afternoon, thankfully my partner sat in the bedroom with me when I put them in together as I must admit to feeling physically sick!
Its going ok...the last time I bonded Spudsey (this is the 3rd time, the 1st was successful) both bunnies were rolling around on the floor fighting :shock: this time Spudsey is intent on being the 'boss' once again, and has scared little black bun so much that he seems intent on sitting on a small plastic box where he appears to feel the safest from this little girlie bun who keeps pulling all his fur out!
Meanwhile Spuds is quite chilled out, having a wash, eating, etc and occasionally going up to black bun for a sniff. He has let her a few times but mostly decides to make a run for it and makes several dashes around the temporary run knocking water and food bowls all over the place!
I have decided to just leave them to it throughout the night, as I did the first time I bonded Spuds. Everything black bunny has been doing such as stamping, and making murmuring noises is what Spudsey did when she was first bonded so I feel a little bit reassured that all is ok...the first time I bonded Spudsey I thought she was going to have a heart attack!
The plan is to move both bunnies into Spudseys hutch and run in a couple of days I guess (have a few days off work booked as bunny bonding holiday). I guess if I fully clean the hutch and run and patio then give it a new lick of paint and try and move position slightly all will be well????
Sorry for the rambling...have been shut in a bedroom for most of the day, though thats a bit better than the garage I did intend to be shut away in....
Have a bit of video footage too which I'll put on here at some stage....
