Yes, even bonded buns can become unbonded due to seperation. But you can always start over again.

As for shortening lives/overall health – I look at it like this. If the stress of bonding causes the bun’s life to ‘shorten’ and having them bonded causes their lives to ‘lengthen’, it all comes out even in the end – although they now have each other as pals.

Well each time you put them together after they are apart she may continue the humping. Is he trying to escape or is he okay with the mounting? I’ve seen alot of rabbits just sit and take the mounting – they are fine with it and there aren’t any scuffles just mounting.

I think as long as they aren’t fighting it is okay. I think if the humping bothers either of them they will let the other one know.

I agree with you though the humping is annoying to me, but I’m not a bunny.

Yeah, it’s safe to continue. I still find a tuft of Dono every so often.

Yes – I agree with Markusdark and Sarita, I say keep pushing forward. Especially if Mimzi is handling the mounting OK, eventually Pip will feel secure in his dominance and probably not mount as frequently. He may just be super excited to see her

When I first introduced one of my bonded pairs, the boy mounted her for forEVER, he would start at ther bum and mount and hump all the way up and over and then turn around and hump from her head back down to her bum. But she handled it well, and did not fight back, and now they are a very sweet loving little bunny couple. I haven’t seen him mount her outside of those first two months.

i think a good idea would be to have two houses so that if they cant be in the x-pen together they can at least get each others smells by a) putting the cages next to each other and b) switching each other round every other day or whenever
i do still catch hopscotch humping daxter occasionally but it seems to be more of a playing thing than dominance? as neither seems to mind and they both do binkies right afterwards? keep us posted!
