hah! You might inquire about doing “foster to adopt” for bonding. They may not go for it, but since they already have a foster program they might.

In any case, I think just doing some dates and not rushing it is a good strategy.

I do love REW (red-eyed-white) buns though, if that wasn’t obvious!

the bad match bun has had I believe two unsuccessful bonding, so I think the shelter is looking for her to be a single bunny or at least with someone who could handle two separate buns if it didn’t work out. There aren’t really that many boy bunnies at the shelter right now either, 3 bunnies total and they are all in foster homes. The one I asked…[Read more]

So happy, a month is doable! I bet you miss them all so!

I remember Sirius&Luna had good luck bonding ON her dining room table. I tried it once and my buns just tried to jump off (and one almost succeeded), so that was a no-go for me, but might be worth trying!

Usually there is a bit more fixation with wound licking while cecotrope eating and grooming are more goal oriented, thus take less time.

Here are some good recommendations for post-neuter care: https://wabbitwiki.com/wiki/Spaying_and_neutering_rabbits#Care

Glad to read things seem to have gone smoothly!

Hmm, if he’s licking down more than what seems normal he’s probably licking his sutures. Was he given any pain meds?

Also, usually after buns grab a cecotrope they will chew afterward.

PS. I’m going to move this thread to Q&A so it will get more responses!

I don’t know where you are located but RHDV2 is spreading rapidly. It is a rabbit disease that kills tons of rabbits. I wouldn’t have them outside because of this. In some areas, there is a vaccine for it. There are cases in America, Candia, the Uk, and Australia, that I know of, there may be more. As for the vet, I would check out House Rabbit…[Read more]

My bunnies’ three favorite toys are baby keys, seagrass mats, and cardboard cat house ( the ones from target are best ). Hopefully you find something your bun loves!

Thank you all for the advice.

Thanks your sharing your mistakes .

I’ve driven myself mad researching things… joining groups.

My boys will have a big run plus free  free roaming in a secure garden….that is  one thing i have made sure they have enough space to run and binky about and be hopefully happy bunnies. 🙂

That is not safe. Typically you aren’t supposed to use air fresheners by rabbits. Is there a reason you want to? The best option would be for it to be organic but I still wouldn’t recommend it.

That’s a good idea.  It’s just hard to know if Ruby is acting different in the ottoman because she is nervous there, so I hope I get the timing right or at some point she will just like him enough where a new space won’t set them back (at least not for long). I’ve been thinking about where to go after the ottoman. I could move the dining room…[Read more]

Thank you! So far things are going fine. I’m hoping to go visit Bun Jovi and Myra soon. I miss them so much!

Everything is moving forward with our house! We are now “cleared to close”, so we are all set to sign the paperwork. Less than a month to go!

So, there is some data on this! The UK rabbit welfare association did a huge survey on bonding success rates:

There is no way to know for sure, but the vast majority of bonds do work out:
