Reply To: For Binky Member P: Rehoming Question

[DanaNM]

It sounds like your situation has changed due to an injury and starting school? And that your living situation prevents you from giving them proper exercise space?  Can you describe their housing a bit more? Even giving them a few hours access to a bunny-proofed room (or even a hallway) would be a big improvement for them.

If that is the case, then I don’t see any shame in rehoming.

But if the issue you having is mainly with their bond, it sounds like perhaps you didn’t go through the full bonding process with them, which is causing issues? It is somewhat normal for bonded pairs to go through a honey-moon phase where they don’t seem to want as much human contact, but I think this is partially because we may not feel as obligated to sit on the floor and spend time with them once they are bonded. I’ve noticed with my pairs they have different times of day they want some snuggles from me (usually after meal times lol), so I try to work it into my routine to spend some time with them during those times.
