I am not an expert in any way with bonding, as I’m bonding two rabbits currently myself. But I may be able to give you some advice. First, my male bunny does the same thing with my three cats. They react the same way. I don’t really think cats know what the bunny is asking. I find that my bunnies are very similar to how my cats act with me. Bunnies can be very attached to their owners, so it’s normal if she is following you around. I honestly think she just really loves you. My male bunny hates tile floors but will try walking on it anyway just to follow me.
As far as bonding bunnies, have you done any prebonding? Pre bonding is VERY important as I learned that with my two. I had wrong information when I first got my second bunny, and did not know you had to do pre bonding before doing an any actual bonding session. Also I didn’t know if I missed it, but are they both fixed? And if they are fixed how long has it been?
