2 bunnies are spayed and neutered and reunited. two more getting spayed/neutered this month and the other 2 the following month.
If so, for how long (for each)?
Pearl (M) 2months, Pebble (F) 1month
If not, why not?
Are you aware of reproductive cancer risk in females? If not, please read about it here.
Yes I am
Housing
Please describe your bunnies’ current housing set-up (living together, as neighbors, etc.).
I have a bedroom split into 3 xpen enclosures, Pearl and Pebble in one. (bonded Pair) on the left front of them there is Daizie (F) and Echo (F) Sisters Daizie 1m older, then on the right front there is Oopsie (M) and Shadow (M) brothers, Oopsie 1m older.
Bonding background
Did you allow the bunnies to “settle-in”? Oopsie, Daizie, Shadow and Echo were born here, and I have had Pearl and Pebble since they were 5w old. (was told 2 girls) and then came the rest. lol
How would you describe your bunnies reactions towards each other (answer for each bunny): shy, scared, curious, calm, aggressive, excited, affectionate, etc.?
Pearl, gets along with everyone. Pebble, with Pearl she is calm. she also likes Oopsie and Shadow at least behind bars, Pebble dislikes Echo and Daizie, she will lunge and is aggressive to them if they come near the fence that separates them, Oopsie is bonded to Shadow but they are both un-neutered but there has been no aggression or signs of it so far. Oopsie will attack any one of them also if out of their pen (room). Shadow is like dad he just chills, he has not been out with any of them except Oopsie however since he was born here. Daizie is a shy girl but with Echo she is pushy but no aggression. Daizie will taunt Pebble then Pebble will charge at them.
Have you done any “pre-bonding” (cage or litter box swaps, etc.)? yes, just waiting on my 4 younger rabbits to get fixed
If so, for how long? They were together till 3m then they groomed each other through the bars when one of them was out to roam
Have you started sessions yet? no as said above
How long have you been working on bonding your bunnies? n/a
How frequently do you have bonding sessions, and how long are they? n/a
Have you tried any stressing techniques? n/a
My question is when they are all fixed, with at least a couple of weeks let’s say May, should I have a friend and just let them all out. also what if one needs to go to the vet? I can’t take all 6 with me lol
