Just finished the most difficult bond ever. Territorial female with a lot of fear of everything, a history of trauma, and sight issues that make her instantly box at anything that comes remotely near her face (including the other bunny). I took it incredibly slow (3 entire months of pre bonding, then very slow incremental steps over the next 3 months). They just finished bonding a few weeks ago and they are both so much happier! I’m so glad I didn’t listen to people on a rabbit Facebook group that were telling me that my female was just a loner...she’s so much happier bonded and all the work was worth it!

Hey hailey. I got a bunny in 2020 and I am so glad that I found your channel. You helped me so much so thank you. I hope you are well and your bunnies are good. Thank you

Oh my gosh I didn't know these were normal cuz I was bonding my buns and they were chasing and humping and I thought they will not bond going to give a second chance
Thank you so much 🙏

Our boy groomed the female on the second day and the girly groomed him back the next day! They were insanely easy to bond

I have a very timid and territorial dwarf bunny (2 yrs) and I recently got a 7 month old. Luckily I kept them in separate pens but my dwarf bunny IMMEDIATELY lunged at the other one. I'm so glad I watched your videos because I'm so new to bunny bonding! I'm going to wait till I can spay the 7 month old! Rn they are kept in separate areas but close so they can become familiar with one another scents and they are not in direct contact with one another!

Great tips! I’m just so grateful that my buns never lost their bond after being spayed!

Thank you for making this video because I can tell now the mistakes I was making. Right now my rabbits are in the bonding process and the are best friends except the fact that hump each other a lot, well one more then the other and it’s good to know that it’s normal and the fact that my rabbit bites the fur to hump. I also sat in the pen with them...which I won’t anymore. Thank you this will make my bonding easier! <3

I am currently bonding my two buns! Fluffy is a male, and Coco is a female. They have a 2-3 year age gap, so I was a bit worried, but I noticed that Coco doesn’t see fluffy(who is smaller) as a threat, and on day three, both of them groomed each other! We only did 40 minutes of bonding in total during the 3 days and I think it is so great! I do know that it can all change in a snap, but it’s going well (for now)
Thank you so much @101Rabbits I watched all ur vids on bonding!

I just got a friend for my bunny Mochi. He’s a little white bunny I named it Sully. After my favorite character from Monster’s Inc. they were grooming each other and started mounting each other.
