  Hi all,
  
  I’ve been silently lurking through the forums for some time now, and will likely be creating another post in the near future with more background history and updates on my two un-bonded (hopefully somewhat soon-to-be-bonded) pair of buns. For now though this will just be a question.
  
  My two buns will need to be stress bonded. One is particularly aggressive, and unfortunately it is she who is unafraid of car rides, of course . Therefore stress-bonding using a car ride is not something I’m willing to try as I’m sure she’ll just go at my other bun with little to no second thought.
  
  Before I had to move (suddenly), which put an end to our bonding sessions for a month, I was using a vacuum. It only worked if it was IN the same small space as the two.
  
  Just so I have some more up my sleeve what are some less common stressors that can be used?
  
  Thanks all
  Look forward to getting your opinions on my post covering the entirety of my grueling process.

  Hey,
  
  I am thinking of bonding my two soon as well! Here are two other ideas that I have come across:
  – putting them into a laundry basket and on top of a dryer, or dragging the laundry basket across the floor jostling it a bit.
  
  Hope that helps! Let me know how it goes

  Some people use a basket on top of a washing machine that is running. I’ve heard of people using success with a pet stroller too. If you had somewhere different you could take them (a friend or relative’s house), that may work as well. The stress of a new place as well as the 100% neutral area can be positive on bonding.
