LuluRabbit started the topic New to Bonding – How should I approach this? in the forum BONDING 5 years, 7 months ago
I have two buns – Alfredo (4 years, male – little skittish and likes to mount other buns) and Theo (7 months, male – affectionate but no experience with other buns) – and I’m thinking about starting their bonding process soon! I feel like I’ve read SO many articles about bonding, and my head is spinning from all the different ways and conflicting…[Read more]

It’s only been a few days, so I agree with the others. Give him time to realize that you’re not going to grab him and force feed him. I’m sure he’s still wary.

Thank you all 🙂 Yes, I have an x pen with hardware cloth zip-tied onto it between them so they are unable to get to each other at all. It has only been one day of them seeing one another, but my current bun has been binkying around every time our new pal comes close to the x pen. Also, she lays down with her body right next to the x pen. He has…[Read more]

That behavior sounds very normal, and no outright aggression through the fence is great. Just be sure they can’t nip noses! That can build some bad feelings between them.
Bunnies can be extra smelly during bonding! They have scent glands which I think they expose in addition to leaving territorial poops. I just adopted a new bun and during…[Read more]

I don’t think it will be too lasting of a change, but he could still be in some pain from his dental work.
I would do as Moonlight suggested and not hover too much. I’m sure once he realizes he isn’t going to be prodded or syringe fed he will go back to normal.

Can you post the ingredients of the junior pellets? Young rabbits don’t need their pellets to be 100% alfalfa, they just need some alfalfa in their diet, either in the form of pellets or hay. Young rabbit pellets usually have alfalfa in them, so the food they were on before is probably fine.
It’s also very important to make any changes to the…[Read more]

Maybe you can try letting him come to you for a while and not trying to touch him? Kind of like starting your bond again. My bunny Muffin has chin issues and would HATE getting cream put on it, he’d freak out and run away. After a while of stopping the cream, he would still think I’m trying to put it on him sometimes and he’d freak out again…[Read more]

Both the rabbits may start smelling a bit because they may be leaving territorial poops behind, which are smelly.
Another reason can simply be where he was prior to you and that environment. My Fable smelled bad when I received her. She smelled like cheap pellets, which was what she was fed incidentally and it was awful. After a while though, she…[Read more]

I also found some kids play tunnels on AliExpress that I think would fit Muffin. Would these be safe? I’m just concerned Pinky would chew it because he’s always interested in chewing their fabric carrier when I pull it out.

Someone’s post reminded me of the peeled grape vine balls and shapes. Are these safe? I’ve given them to my bunnies before (I thought they were just wood…) and they were fine but destroyed them easily lol! I saw them on the binky bunny store so they’re totally safe? I want some new toys for the bunnies!

Thank you! Another question. The female bun that I have has no smell, but for some reason the male that I just brought home today smells awful. He hasn’t even peed yet, so I am sure the scent is coming from him. He was just recently neutered on Jan. 7, if that is helpful information. I am wondering what I can do to make his smell better. Thanks!

Following each other can be from curiosity, it could be some aggressive stalking, but regardless it is an expected behavior at the beginning. If it evolves into lunging or biting through the pen, you want to limit the visual, but for now, that sounds like fine behavior.
