I agree with LBJ10, I wouldn’t worry about it at all. I think it’s best to avoid strong fragrances as those could be irritating to a bun. I currently use All free and Clear, in the past I used a Costco-brand “natural” one. I’m sure the tide free and clear is fine. I do add vinegar to all of my wash as well as I think it helps things get cleaner.

Ugh Now I’m just venting. Got them back in the closet this afternoon hoping they could just sleep a bit together and keep growing their connection, but Pancake starting off more mounty than ever, Snoopy bit her cheek pulling (thankfully) just a small amount of fur. She was upset but did not stop her from trying more later. They finally settled…[Read more]

I don’t think dye and fragrance free detergent is harmful. You could rinse twice on the laundry cycle too, just to make sure it’s all gone. But personally, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Update on my boys. Today is day 7 of bonding in this large bathroom.  We are up to 8 hours together.  Both grooming and snuggling each other.  Not as much chasing going on.  Really not any aggressive behaviors.   Binking and crazies don’t seem to set either of them off. I plan to move them to another neutral area tomorrow but in a pen that will a…[Read more]

Sounds great to me! I think erring on the side of more interaction with them and making them feel safe and happy is good at first. Anytime there isn’t aggression is positive in my book 🙂

That sounds like a very good sign! Both the ignoring and that they put their heads together so you could pet them. I dont think you messed anything up at all.

Well after a week, we aren’t too much better off. I’ve logged a lot of hours. I did switch Saturday to 2x per day to break up the sessions since they do fine when they are sleepy and I feel like the more awake hours to re-direct her mounting the quicker it might go? Plus it seems better for me 🙂 I had a lot of time to analyze them in my head and…[Read more]

I think I may have deleted my thread I had going in here. I am hoping my post from last night still shows. In case not, the short is I am now on my 6th day of bonding my 6 month brother bunnies. This is my third attempt to bind them after they got neutered. Sounds like I maybe didn’t see a solid bond yet like I thought before and it was too s…[Read more]

Oh, they are wild bunnies and feral cats? Ah… yes, I would say trapping the cats would be the best solution then. Not only do feral cats harm wildlife and spread disease, they live miserable lives as well.

Thank you! I did keep them in for another two hours that day and they did fine. Just needed space to cool off and then they went back to loving. Today I did 6 hours again and they did great. I am planning to add hide boxes that have two entries. They are brand new and I was wondering if I put them in and all goes well, can I use the boxes in their…[Read more]

If no bun is injured then keep going! Those types of little issues are actually important to find because buns can get spooked in normal life, and in a bonded pair they should run to each other for comfort and not have it start a fight. It does sound like you are making progress so keep up the good work!

My interpretation was that there are wild rabbits but feral domestic cats, so I was thinking trapping the cats would help the buns.
