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.

The first audio sounds like my vocal bun Vilde. He used to make it while he was happily running across the floor. That sound seemed to come from deep within him, so to speak, not the nose or lungs.

The only things I can think for a vet trip of would be to get him to associate the carrier with nice things, which means food. Since treats shouldnt…[Read more]

thanks for responding. they dont get worse when he wants a treat, but now that you mention all that, i have noticed his honks are a bit funky lately… theyve gotten louder or quieter at different periods of his life, so I didnt think of it being related/important.

i cant seem to get the wheezing/breathing on audio, one bc my phone sucks and two…[Read more]

thank you for responding. my reply this morning got deleted by a site error but ill try to rewrite it the same:

the noises dont get worse when hes excited, or even happen at all unless he’s splooted/sittin in his spot. but now that you mention it, his honks have sounded a bit unusual lately. i just kinda chalked it up to getting older, as his…[Read more]
