  There was a couple of people talking about it in the picture thread, and I decided to turn it into a specific thread.
  
  Does your girl bun bond to guys more so than girls? Or the opposite way around? What about boy buns?
  
  I think it’s interesting!
  
  For instance, Apollo, my wee little man, adores me, I can touch any of his toys and his litter pan and food dish, I can pet him anywhere, and my mum can do the same, except Apollo won’t have cuddle time in her lap, whereas he will sit for hours on me.
  
  Now…my dad or brother trying to touch ANY of his stuff, ugh no way! Apollo will grunt and lunge. My dad can’t even touch him either. My brother can pet his head for short periods but that’s it.
  
  Anybody getting me here or is this confusing

  I think it just depends on who they are around the most. When we first got Hugo, he was in love with my bf. But that was because he was home more with him at the time. And since I’ve been home a lot more lately Hugo and Ian seem really attached to me. Skipper has always been a daddy’s girl though. She’s totally in love with him.

  I’m not sure, Simba, my previous rabbit, was my little boy he was almost always with me, but he absolutely LOVED my mom, I think he was literally in love with her, he circled her feet all the time and always sat with her and gave her kisses when they were in the same room together and he’d flop on her lap. (Which he never did for me, he’d just sit on my shoulder and groom my hair while I was in my chair.) Duchess loves me, she just won’t admit it, but she always goes to the top level of the cage to meet me and will lay by me if I’m sitting in my chair with my laptop. :3 Nala’s more reserved and will only love on me if I have food, otherwise she stays as far away as possible, which sorta leads me to think she may have had a bad experience with males before I adopted her, but I’ll never really know.

  Bindi and Olivia are fond of me and my husband. They are more bonded to me, though, as I spend much more time with them, give them their meals and am “the human cookie jar”.

  Lady loves everyone equally, Sam loves my H and then my kids, and then me hah. But I’m the meany who does maintenance, and no amount of treats or bonding time will make up for that in her eyes hah.

  Harley is a total mommas boy. I can do as I please with him. My husband and I switched couches and Harley hopped up on the couch I’m usually on and saw my husband there and got down and went to the couch I was on lol
  Sally knows me more because I do all the caregiving but she isn’t nearly as bonded to me as Harley is. She treats my husband and I about the same.

  Alice is very lovie toward me, but is a daddys girl …i feed her, brush her, and clean her cage although she is a cuddle bunny. My little boy Bunz is my lover he is a thick boy, and lets me walk him on his leash, but his dad is not allowed! haha.
