Bonding my trio is pretty much at a standstill at this point so we’re figuring out how to go about marathon bonding but I think we may be doing something wrong to begin with.  So far, my husband and I have been right there in the small neutral area with the bunnies.  I read TanLover14’s bonding blog (great info!) and saw that *we* should not be a distraction to the bunnies’ interaction (which we definitely have been). 

If we go for marathon bonding, do we just stay nearby (not *in* their space) to breakup any fights?  If so, would the trio in an x-pen (2 x 4) and us outside the x-pen work?  Food, hay, and water aren’t required for short sessions, but I’m guessing we need to set up the area with those along with a litter box (one?) for extended bonding sessions (5+ hours)?  When you get into the 5, 6, plus hours, do you just eat dinner right there with the bunnies?  I imagine after that many hours, hay is going to start looking pretty tasty!

We’re still at Moshi nipping Kieko and Kieko running and hiding, but have added Marlee (formerly the all-groomer and peacekeeper) taking a turn at doing the tail-in-the air helicopter-ear humping (she only tried to hump Moshi but they made up) try at top bun.  Do you all think we still have a shot at them working things out in marathon bonding?

Thanks!
