Hi everyone 🙂
So I was looking for some advice/guidance/general support while I bond my rabbits!
I started with two boys – Rolland and Ralphie. Rolland was the dominant male and Ralphie was often seeking attention off Rolland but generally got shooed away instead. So I thought he may benefit from some extra friends to get attention and to help him give Rolland all the attention he needs!
I decided to go with a pair of bonded girls I adopted from a rescue centre 🙂 they are absolute sweethearts called Poppy and Daisy. Poppy is the dominant girl! I picked them up last week (so we are still very early days!)
So the first couple of bonding dates with the four buns couldn’t have gone better. There was snuggling and grooming and Ralphie was over the moon to have some extra friends. However the last couple of days Rolland and Daisy have been scrapping on and off. I’ve tried some bonding sessions with just the two of them including a drive in the car but they just don’t seem to like each other. It’s not constant fighting, it seems to just happen when Rolland is most active. Rolland is the one who starts the biting and fur pulling and Daisy just tries to run away from it.
Does anyone have any experience with group bonding where two of them don’t seem to want to get along? I think this could work in the long run but don’t want Rolland to keep pulling at Daisy’s fur!!
Also I work Monday to Wednesday and was wondering what people do with their bonding bunnies when they’re working?
Thanks! Look forward for the advice 🙂
