Thank you for the reply. We put their cages next to each other, they don’t seem stressed so that is somewhat of a good sign I think. In fact as I write this they are munching on hay staring at each other occasionally turning their back to each other lol. We where able to make a spot so that their cages are next to each other and are able to block Kern’s cage door off from Bleu and he has access to the living room and she has access to the dining room. Just have to keep a close eye on Kern because his jumping skills are fantastic and he will jump over the cage once he figures out he can in fact do it. We blocked off the top of his cage as well to deter him from doing this. Used a futon pillow cause he is scared of it lol.
When we let them out for playtime Bleu decided that anyone that goes into the dining room is hers and was chinning me and my friend and running around us in circles lol. I didn’t realize she could get her nose into the bars of Kern’s cage when she is out and she put her nose on his nose and he kinda nipped her. Not hard, just seemed to be a warning to get out of his home. I very quickly blocked her off from that spot though
But we decided to wait a couple days to bring them into the bonding area. Just let them get used to being next to each other and take it from there.

Oh and I actually forgot to get gloves so I will definitely have to pick those up before we start bring them together. What kind of gloves do you think we should get? The thick winter ones or do you think rubber would be ok?

Ok so we finally got the time to introduce Kern and Bleu. My fiance has been working non stop 7 days a week so he was exhausted. He took a 3 day vacation so we decided today was the day. We took them in the kitchen, an area where neither have ever been into. For the first 5 minutes they where not interested in each other. Finally Kern decided to sniff her, they did a lot of sniffing and then all of a sudden Kern bit her. We pushed him away and said “No” Very loud. This continued for a few minutes. Poor Bleu was in love, she was trying to groom him and lay next to him but he wasn’t having it. I spent a good majority of the time petting the both of them while Bleu was laying her head on his back. Don’t know if what I did was correct though. Kern even refused craisens, which are his favorite, the entire time she was near him… We decided to end it cause it was going no where unless I was petting the both of them. I did end it on a good note though, so hopefully things go better for the next time :/

We tried again and decided to give up on bonding them. Kern bit her pretty bad on the corner of her nose. She squeaked and there was a little blood. She seems fine. Gonna keep an eye on the cut make sure no infection. We built the hutch for Kern and he seems really happy. Gonna work on eventually getting Bleu one. Till then we combined her cage with Kerns old cage. I am pretty bummed, was really looking forward to being able to have them both running around the living room. We figure there is no point in continuing if, he can do a lot of damage to her and its just not worth her suffering and a vet bill.

When we got them at the humane society they kept saying “dont try and put them together. It will end in one dying” of course we knew what we read on here so we ignored it. They have a rabbit specialist that works there that will come out and bond rabbits for a price. We really dont even want to take the chance with a specialist. I really do think its for the best that we keep them separated. Plus I am a little freaked out by what happened. Her little squeal she made was heartbreaking. And upon further inspection I noticed the fur under her eye looked strange and there is a bite there too. He opened his mouth so far when he bit her that he bit her nose and under her eye. If she would have lost her eye..oh my god. I feel absolutely awful that I put her in that danger. Maybe one day I will consider it, but I am thinking its possible Kern is one of those rare un-bondable rabbits I plan on getting her a stuffed animal to love on. She was so in love with Kern she was grooming him and trying to cuddle. So I will get her a stuffed animal, maybe even the plushie from this site’s store and rub Kerns fur on it all the time so she has something to cuddle with and clean.   

On a positive note though, Bleu seems really happy since we moved their cages. She keeps doing lots of binkys which she usually never does. We cant tell if its cause she has somewhat more space in the dining room or if its cause she didn’t like Kern’s cage next to hers. Kern is super relaxed and seems very happy. He loves his new bunny mansion. 

Kern sleeping in his little bed. He never sleeps on this on the floor and and we where afraid he wasn’t gonna be able to figure out how to get to the hole on the second floor so we put the bed in his cage. We even had to put a box to make the ramp less steep. It was a lot of work. It took 2 days to get the house back in order. Last night we had to buld a gate to block off Kerns area and Bleus. The house is still a mess

Kayota- Yeah my brother in law and his girlfriend that live with us have rats that they weren’t able to bond. They originally had 2 rats then got another 2 but their first (Damien is his name) would not get along with the new ones.

Bam- I think my rabbits would kill each other if I had only netting separating them, that’s how bad he hates her. My fiance was thinking it might be possible he is holding a grudge from the day she attacked him when he jumped over the couch and got in her area. We currently have a wood gate separating them and they fight through the little crack where it doesn’t touch the floor. Oh my goodness is that awful. Everyday they are out its a constant worry that Kern will decide its time to mess with Bleu. She even attacked me when I tried to push her away so they would stop fighting. Like, she actually ran at me grunting and tried to bite my leg. I had to put them both in their cages. It was scary. So now we have to pay close attention when they are running around playing everyday. I need to get some cardboard and screw it into the gate so they cant see each other through the bottom. They are both just the sweetest bunnies though until they see each other. Its hard to believe how aggressive they can get. And it also makes me worry I may never be able to get a cat with how Kern is.
