Yeah a 6 month wait for neutering would be so hard if they were already acting hormonal! (currently having flashbacks to getting sprayed in the face by un-neutered buns at the shelter, LOL)

Lol, like I said, I don’t have any REAL evidence for it! And really breed doesn’t seem to matter overall! They think they’re rockstars too apparently! ha!

The other thing that seems to be somewhat predictive of whether a bun will be a bit easier to bond is whether they’ve lived with other rabbits before (either littermates or a previous bond).…[Read more]

*tentative “WOOHOO!s”*

Omg, they are beautiful together!

Yes, the last few days have been such a relief!  I believe the ottoman dates were essential to coach Ruby how to behave, but they definitely needed the bigger space to take the next step. I really think getting in a couple longer sessions will get them past the last hurdle. 🙂

Yes! It’s hard to know what causes the issues, but I’m so happy things are going better now. I was reading your post too, and did sound pretty similar.  I hope you can also make more progress over the holidays!

Thanks for the response. I didn’t realize lionheads prefer lionheads! I think they’re Rockstars 😉

She loves my cat so I was thinking of trying to find another rabbit with a personality similar to his. Goofy, playful, and cuddly.

I’m not sure I can speed date my girl, just based on who adopts out rabbits around here. It makes me a little nervous…[Read more]

Ellie, wonderful pictures! So beautiful they are! And I love the embroidery! I’ve been in a crocheting frenzy these last few days, trying to finish some homemade Christmas gifts. I mostly make socks, everybody needs socks this time of year.

I’m glad you could get Owen neutered. I don’t think there’s a 6 months-policy around here for boy rabbits,…[Read more]

That’s interesting! She was very easy to bond with Bun Jovi, and when I was trying for a quad she also immediately got along with Cooper. But, she did NOT get a long with Bonnie right away. I did eventually make some progress with them but it was going to take a lot more work to get them to really like each other.

I agree, I think he’ll be just fine. 🙂 When you move him over, keep some soiled litter in his litter box to help things smell more like home to him.

Thank you!

I probably would separate them on Christmas with a see-through plastic panel, so they can at least see eachother when they are opening their presents 🙂

Thank each and every one of you so much!

I’ve seen a few threads here where a Californian was being bonded and I think they all had easy times, so makes me think the gentle temperament is typical for them, awwww. I think Ruby has Florida white in her too. That is interesting and too cute about the color changes, I had no idea!

I think he’ll be fine. The bun I have now had to move house three times before she was 5 months old. It doesn’t seem to have made her insecure or anxious. It’s normal for a rabbit to be wary the first few days in a new home. If he’s staying with his former owner for a week, it won’t be a new place for him.

Regarding the Christmas thing, for my unbonded pair they groom each other and cuddle but at the end of the day they aren’t bonded so I have given them a stocking each and wrapped presents each and will just have them open them separately.

I don’t think your bunnies will like their presents any more because they’ve opened them together. Opening…[Read more]

Sounds great! I loooove when suddenly they start acting like buddies 🙂

@Suzanne Yeah, Bertha was BJ’s past partner, before Myra. And yep we think Myra is Californian, maybe crossed with a Florida white, because she isn’t quite as big as a pure Californian. She definitely has the “meat” and “fur” breed genes though, her coat is sooooo soft and dense, and she tends to put on weight really easily. One thing I didn’t…[Read more]

Yes, they both purr quite a bit when the other grooms them 🙂  I put down another sheet and they had a lot of room yesterday. They are definitely acting happier to hang out together. Very first thing they were exploring with the new sheet on the floor, and Ruby kept running over to Max 🙂  Ruby has flopped like that with him even early on, but I t…[Read more]
