Bonding Rabbits *What no one tells you*

In this video I go through some of the things that people don't tell you about bonding rabbits. Just to reiterate, not all bunnies belong in a bonded pair (some bunnies can't handle the stress such as older bunnies or bunnies who have come from an abusive background). Always supervise your bunnies and never let them fight! This video is for the people who need encouragement during the bonding process like I did (especially if it is your first time bonding bunnies). It can be a very stressful process for both you and the bunnies, but it is important for you to remain calm for your bunnies because they can sense your energy during the process.

This video couldnt have had better timing! I just got a rabbit yesterday as a companion for my other rabbit. Theyre in two different cages and seem very happy to see each other and they try to touch noses through the cages. The newest rabbit ( we’re going to call him Vans) has already done binkies the day we got him! I think theyre a perfect match for each other.

having a companion for ur rabbit is so important, my 2 bunnies are obsessed with each other 😊

Thank you for mentioning how the bonding needs to be lead by rabbits! It took us around 4 months to bond our pair. We adopted a rabbit from a rescue for our territorial single free roam bunny and she hated the whole process, going from being free roam to being a small square pen with a stranger for some hours on end made her very annoyed at the rabbit and whenever it came to the bonding time she would be difficult to catch etc. We went against traditional recommendations and expanded the pen to half a room and then a whole room and it made her waaay less aggressive. There were still fights but less frequent and easier to break up. I think the more popular advice actually works for very few people to be honest! And it's also why I think so many rabbit owners are convinced their rabbit "can't be bonded"

I adopted a bonded pair (both female) thinking I would skip the bonding drama. But apparently they had some stuff they still needed to work out. I hadn’t done much research on bonding prior to adopting so I was kind of panicking. But I did some small space sessions, and limited their area for a while so they didn’t have as much to fight over. Now they’re doing much better!

Thanks for getting this content out there! It’s important!

I am taking care of my daughters bunnies while she is moving, and I cannot tell you how thankful I am for your videos! They’ve really helped keep the peace and sanity in my house as we adjust to 2 bunnies roaming around. Again, thank you so much for being upfront and honest in your videos. You’ve helped immensely

I admire you for sticking with the slower bonding process & going at their pace💖

[emilyyistired]

Thank you for this! I’ve had my first rabbit for 6 months now and I love him. Within the next few days I’m getting another rabbit(he is a rescue) and I’m nervous about bonding but your video made me feel a lot better!

I got so lucky with bonding my 2 male rabbits (they're both rescues and neither are neutered, ones too old and ones too young) it literally took me an hour to bond them, just pushing off the older one when he tried to mount and eventually they just accepted each other :)

I love the style of this video! It was so informative, but casual. And I love the footage you included while you talk and I love the vibe the background music gives off!

another video I binge this channel too often lol 😆

It sometimes just takes time for the 2 of them to understand each other even when they are obviously curious about each other from the beginning. My female rabbit is very dominant and plays rough, while my male rabbit is skittish. In the beginning, her grooming attempts were often mistaken as nips or bites that he ran away or fought back in anger or fear. Their bonding consisted of 1 week of living separately side by side, and took turns using the common area. Then 3 weeks of short supervised bonding sessions everyday. Then 2 more weeks of using common area together but still living separately when nobody could supervise them. Then finally I trusted them enough to not get into fights when I'm not looking. Rabbits learn from each other, my female rabbit mellows drastically after bonding, while my male rabbit shows his curious side more often. They still have little episodes of chasing sometimes when they bonded for over 2 years already, but they make up immediately after, so I just let them be.

Excellent video. Thank you on behalf of all buns who are being bonded.

[HappyHolyHealthyLife]

I had a brother/sister pair for 4 years and my girl passed suddenly to stasis. So I waited a couple months and then took my boy bunny dating a he loved a pair of sisters. They were just brought to my house 2 days ago and I’m working a bond between the 3. So, a pre bonded female pair (5 yrs old) and my 4 yr old boy. All neutered. Wish me luck. Enjoyed your video. Great info.
