Thanks MarkBun, we are 3 weeks into this 4 week danger zone however the vet said that Anya was to young to get impregnated so start the bonding which i have done. In the past week they have been out together every night and Bugz has shown no intrest in humping or mounting her so I think his hormones are not in overdrive or anything. Think I will put them together on Saturday when they have all day out of the cage and only a SMALL amount of time in the cage overnight (from about middnight to about 7am) if they can do this then I will go from there. I am waiting for my barrier door to be made and then once that is done they will be allowed out together 24/7 as the room will then be 100% bunny proof

thanks, I was starting to think something was wrong with them, I mean you hear all the horror stories and all the ways you can work around them but I am yet to come across a story that pretty much says “Put them together, they loved each other end of bonding porcess” which has pretty much been my experience. I spent weeks researching, I had the bath tub ready, I went and got welders gloves and then my sister just lets them out together one night and nothing happens, it was ALMOST a let down

I have been freaking out! I was at the vets getting their food a few weeks ago and a lady in there had her Bunny that was missing a good 1/2 his ear after a bonding session went south. Then again I think if I had it my way they would both be 10 before I risked putting them together!

MarkBun I know alot of people who are non Bunny people who I have spoken to who said this but My dad breed horses and cattle for years. The cattle he would throw in together because the worse that could happen was a kick but the horses where introduced slowley over a period of days before being put in paddocks or if they came in on a truck where all left in the same paddock. He never had a major injury from introducing new horses and people said he was nuts to just let themself sort themselves out but he always refused. One year one of the top stallions in the polo work recieved a blow to this balls and could no longer be used for breeding when my dads stallions breed upto the day he died (we put a mare in with him that morning and that evening he passed away from skin cancer and I have the foal that came out of the union). Also with birds I have seen Budgie rip the heads of other Budgies they they don’t like in “their” space. On other aniamal forums NO ONE warns you about birds or Horses not bonding and the damage they can do. So you come onto a rabbit forum and you get hit by it and it really freaked me out!

Anyway excuse the ramble – update thy spend last night together and I went to let them out today and they where both asleep on the sleeping platform, Bugz came down and got hs nose rub which he gets when I open his cage Anya stayed on the platform. Bugz came out ran around looked behind him and relized that Anya was not with him so went back up onto the platform and started grooming her, worked out she was not going to come down with him to play so did a big floopy down next to her and went back to sleep. Do I get a metal for the easiest bond in the history of manind?

when I find out where my sister put my camera I will be posting like mad!
