You thinking of trying things in the lounge? Sorry if i read that wrong. When I've bonded bunnies they've usually started in a neutral space but in most cases I've got bored / not felt the vibe & moved bonding to the lounge. I'm honestly tempted to do it with my 2 at some point.
My first 2 rabbit bonds were love at first sight. So going forward a decade I moved the trio (Boo still minorly lungey) to the lounge after a week,
later bonded Rudey to Mouse in the lounge. quad bonding was in the lounge mainly & calmer there. Eddy & Boo started in kitchen, then to hall then to lounge. I had a bloody great big fence dividing up lounge in prep for quad bonding though
My first bad bond was Ralph & Kitty. I remember them being introduced in the back yard & them tornado-ing in clouds of fur. Can not remember a thing else...so annoying. I know there was barely any resources about bonding back then ....in some ways that helped
I know what you mean about being more comfortable if it was fur pulling from bums. Eddy tends to have a grumpy face & juts his head forward ...its like he does the chasing off thing but with his head.
