  So I’ve been bonding for a few weeks now and its honestly great!! my rabbits groom each other, lay next to each other and cuddle. Its the cutest thing I’ve ever seen!!! I really believe my rabbits are ready for their sleep over but i dont want to do it because there seems to be some kind of argument going on the with the litter boxes but once I remove them they are fine.
  
  I started off with one box and that failed, then put two but the dominate rabbit kicks my other rabbit out of both litter boxes, i put one big one and still they end up fighting. Im not sure what to do!!! HELP!!!
  
  **I tried to upload pics of most recent bonding I did but it won’t work**

  Are you using clean litterboxes?
  
  They’re not ready for the sleep over if they’re still having fights.

  yes they are clean. I’ve cleaned them with vinegar, water & little soap. They aren’t new litter boxes. would a new one be better? just once they are bonded would they end up fighting in their room?
  
  Its not so much a fight one rabbit kicks the other rabbit out but I once i take the litter box out they are back to cuddling and grooming each other

  Well when they’re bonded, there shouldn’t be fights about anything, so they shouldn’t end up fighting in their room.
  
  A clean litterbox should be enough, but if they’re fighting over it then trying a new one is worth a try, since it sounds like one bun has got possessive over it. It’s strange that it still happens even if there’s two though.

  Yes I know, They do great together when the litter boxes are not inside! They share food together just fine & share their toys. Its just the litter boxes that is just not working but I will try a new one and maybe that will make them share it. Im just at a loss because i not sure what to do. I did a bonding today and it went great! lots of grooming and loving together, so i tried 3 litter boxes & again the dominate rabbit keeps kicking the other rabbit out of the litter boxes.
