Congrats on your new bunny! Be sure to post pictures

1. There’s no reason two bunnies couldn’t learn the bedtime routine too. It worked just as well for me when I had a bonded pair as for a single bunny. Watching two bunnies high-tail it to get their treat is twice as cute .

2. When I adopted a second rabbit, there was a little spike in random pooping/peeing immediately afterwards while they figured out territory etc, but that subsided pretty quickly. Peppy had always been spotless about her litter habits, and remained so. Milo was a little messier with stray poops, but I think that was just him.

3. I was worried about Peppy becoming less affectionate, since she was always a little love bug. I think the best way to put it was that she was just as affectionate, but a little less needy…does that make sense? She loved getting kisses and being pet just as much as before, and would still come check out what I was doing, but I wasn’t tripping over her quite as often.

1. What works best for my two is to feed dinner at bedtime. You’d better bet both of them are in their pen and ready to go when they see me grab the bowls and head to the kitchen 🙂 At other times, I use craisins as a bribe. Two bunnies can be competitive with food – they see one has food and want to be there and get some too – so you can use that to your advantage. If one of mine seems to be getting a treat I can count on the other one running over too.

2. Litter habits are tricky. Even with love at first sight you may need some time with them separate to do bonding sessions. Generally most buns leave some territorial poos around, but it tends to clear up after they’re fully bonded. My boy has always had perfect litter habits and he was basically the same when we got my girl (though I think a couple poos did get left near the cage barrier). My girl has good habits, but does mark occasionally and she did at that time too. If your boy has perfect habits, you’ll likely have more issues with the second bunny marking than with him.

3. Lots of bunnies do tend to focus on their new partner more than their people for a while, so don’t be surprised if they do, but most go back to their old personalities with time. Mine couldn’t care less about me for at least a month, but after a while things settled down and now they’re as focused on me as two individual bunnies would be, while still having a friend to snuggle with and follow around. I think the amount of time spent bonding with them as individuals effects this the most. My boy was solo for a year and my girl was solo for 3 (with her first owner). If they had been bonded at a very young age without a lot of interaction, they may have focused on each other more because they didn’t have an established relationship with me or people in general.
