It’s great you noticed this change! There can be little chases etc. in some pairs (esp if one is overly food excited), but them becoming more distant is more of a concern. If I recall, you moved through the bonding process pretty quickly, so you may have just moved a bit too fast from neutral territory into non-neutral.

Can you move them back to…[Read more]

It can be natural for friends to just “mellow out” with each other, but I would keep an eye if you notice more tense interactions. They might have a hiccup in the relationship that needs to be worked out. At the same, if you notice that it is escalating to risky interactions that may cause injury, I’d recommend separating them and back tracking…[Read more]

Ok, thank you, yes damsons are a type of plum

Oh my, Bam, she’s adorable! 😀  I think you were set up… 😉

Thank you both! I also contacted the breeder and she said that sometimes an injury like that can happen because of over grooming by the mother, she said she had never known a bunny cause it to themselves, so I think you are right with it being a previous injury.

It’s funny, Bun Jovi hates nail trims the most, but is always the fastest to forgive! I think he just forgets in his old age LOL

Binkies can be playing, and also a dominance display! It’s not uncommon to see binkies during bonding sessions. Not necessarily aggressive, but saying “look how strong I am and how much I am not phased by you!”

Thanks for your inputs. I am getting the ikea doll beds for their “beds”. I am getting the cardboard cat couch, thanks for the idea. The hidey hut is made of seagrass which my bunnies love… it would be gone in a day, for 25 dollars I would want it to last longer then a day.

He is adroable! When I got my rabbit his name was Gimli too.

It sounds likes he is playing with the female! Maybe try putting them in a netural spot overnight? Sounds like it is going good so it might be a good idea to try… but I don’t know much about what is going on when they are in the same spot so only if you think that they are ready ready.
