Well I want to wish you the best in the overnight first. Lots of friendly Comet & Chubs vibes coming your way! ((((((((((((((Chubs & Comet all snuggly! No fighting!)))))))))))
Second, that is kinda funny, but I can see how it’s sad too. But so cute. Chubsy wants you to himself. I think I’ve seen that kind of behavior with my two boys. (not currently bonded-but Mimzy got in between and peed in front of Fiver to show him I was HIS human a few times)
Hopefully all will go well, but be prepared for what might happen is, Chubs & Comet could become so buddy-buddy, they may give you the cold shoulder in stereo from time to time. At least that’s what I’ve seen with other board members whose bunnies have bonded. Sometimes once bunnies bond, they become inseparable enough that they tend to glom to one another than be as human friendly. But it’s not a permanent thing by any means. Once that treat bag is rattled, I’m pretty sure they’ll remember who butters their bread!
I hope for many wonderful future snuggles for the three of you!

Thats cute.   Yes when Cotton and Ruby were together they hung with each other and mostly ignored me.  I missed Cotton. 

I was petting them both then Cotton jumped on my back  then he ran off gave the bunny butt and stink eye.  He got no response and couldn’t take it anymore and ran and jumped on my back again.  lol..

Cotton started chasing Ruby after that and their bond broke cuz he was so jealous.   Hopefully yours won’t be that way and stay snuggly buddies.     

I did pet Cotton and ruby at the same time but still had problems with jealousy.  Hopefully your buns are more mature.   lol..  I don’t think any one else here had problems with jealousy in their buns.   I haven’t heard of it anyways.  Yours should do fine.

OH another time hubby and I were busy and Cotton jumped on his back guess he was claiming or protecting me dont’ know which.  Jealous boy blue eyes.   It was so funny though.  Fouad was yelling get him off me get him off me rofl..

Heheh its so cute when the buns jump on backs. Monkey is ALWAYS jumping onto mien whenever I’m kneeling on the ground.

haha! I got a milder form of this when I got Teddy: Athena had been kind of taking me for granted , but as soon as Teddy came on the scene she became Miss Affectionate and Attentive, always presenting herself for cuddles! Milk it!!

Sometimes when I’m petting Athena Teddy will come over and check things out — I’m not sure if he’s jealous of Athena or territorial about her. But whenever I offer him some pets too he usually runs off (he doesn’t really like being pet these days).

I hope your buns don’t get too dramatic about this, and that it just means more bunny attention for you.

Awww poor little buns. So like boys to get in a fight over a girl.

jnc, don’t let a grudge stick between them. Put both rabbits on your lap comfortably and pet them lots. Follow with a supervised session in their space. It may only be one last bump to overcome. Observe the dynamics between them in their space, see if you can find a trigger for the fighting. If they keep wanting to fight, do a bathtub session or car ride.
can you sleep next to their pen at night?

You know, I never had that with my rabbits that they weren’t interested in their human after bonding. One of them actually got more intereted in me because the others always seem to crowd around me, so it seemed to spark his curiosity.

OH nooooo.  I am sad now.   This is what happened with Cotton he got jealous and I could be petting both of them at the same time side by side.    

It started with him chasing Ruby then she nailed him a good one  a bloody lip and I seperated them.

I am hoping this will pass for your buns.

I keep mine seperate  I don’t think Cotton would get over his jealousy. HE is too much of a Mamas boy  I am hoping yours do perhaps there are some good suggestions will  come up to help you  get them thru this.

I’m so sorry to hear about their first night! Have you tried the “stunt double” trick with stuffed animals (put one with the scent of the other bun in each’s territory — it will not fight back! It’s a risk-free, painless way to mellow them out if it works for you. Best of luck!!

I had some jealousy with Samson and Ivy at first. Actually Ivy (the new bun) was the jealous one. I solved this by always petting them together. If I only have one hand I put their heads near eachother and pet them at the same time with one hand. Now they have no issues but Ivy would growl at Samson for the first week or so. I think forcing them near eachother while petting and hearing eachother “purr” while near eachother helps them associate laying together as a good thing.

Keep an eye on them…. hopefully it will pass!

I just read your bonding thread – it sounds like they were doing so well, I bet they’ll get there! Someone on the forum mentioned it takes 4-8 weeks for bunny boy hormones to die down after a neuter, so Comet might also be more mellow in time. My Teddy is just starting to get friendlier (to me) now at about the 9 week mark… But I know your bunnies will recover their rapport before then. Perhaps some stunt doubles can help them cool down right now.

I’m sorry the overnight didn’t go well.

I agree wtih Petzy-keep at it!! I was going to suggest the same thing-Can you sleep near them next overnighter?
