Bonding Bunnies 101 - How To Start

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

In this video, I go over everything about bonding rabbits. Bonding Bunnies 101! We'll talk about how to bond rabbits step by step as well as go over good signs when bonding rabbits and behaviors to watch out for in the bonding process. Rabbits rarely bond quickly, so it is important to know these signs!

    also most shelters don’t recommend stress bonding! just be patient with your bunnies. it may take days, it may take months. just go at your bunnies pace. it’s safer, healthier and i’m sure they would appreciate that much more than putting them through unnecessary stress.

    You can also look for a female that is already spayed! Almost all rescues spay/neuter the bunnies before they are available for adoption and House Rabbit Society requires them to be fixed prior to going to their forever home. It definitely saves you a lot of money AND most importantly you are saving a bunnies life/giving them a loving home! Baby bunnies are definitely tempting to bring home, but there are so many adult rabbits in need of a home as well. Just something to think about. 😊 I hope your male bun has a speedy recovery after his surgery! You are doing right by him by getting him fixed, he will thank you later when he is finally able to bond with another bun. 🐰💕🐰

    I somehow bonded my rabbits unintentionally by letting them free roam together for short periods because my longtime resident bun was so scared of the newbie. By time I tried to do a formal bonding session in a small room, I realized they were already ready to live together! They haven’t looked back lol. Edit: My male and female never fought (lucky me) it was a slow 1 month process because my female was terrified. She would scream if the new buns so much as sniffed her fur!

    I had a similar experience once haha Many many years ago, after one of my first buns died (got them as a pair) I was looking for a new companion for my grieving bunny and actually had no clue that theres something as 'bonding' lol I got him a new girlfriend and just sat her into his enclosure. Lucky as I was they immediately started to cuddle and kiss each other. So it was an immediate bond 😍 They were 8 (almost 9) and 4 years old. In general I made the experience that the older they are the easier the bonding will be. My youngest couple to bond with both being 3 at that time took the longest with 2,5 weeks. Not that bad tho, I won't complain 😅

Both of my bunnies are fine but my female rabbit is such a bully that my male is terrified of her. She keeps trying to bite him even through the wire, and for the first few days of them living side by side, she was constantly grunting/growling whenever the other bunny approached her.

    Our rabbits are very familiar with each other's scents, after sharing a common play space for several weeks, and occasionally swapping cages. In their first few meetings (some accidental), there was no humping, biting, or fighting, and only minimal territorial pooping. However the male immediately targeted the female's eyes: a few licks followed by nips at her eyes. She cowers and closes her eyes. But she is definitely interested in him, because she visits his cage and tries to chew into it. Any suggestions? Do I just monitor and hope the "grooming" becomes less dangerous over time? Or is there something I can do to discourage this behaviour (e.g. spray bottle)?

And in the end he was able to mate with both of them and live together as they are now.

    Thank you so much for making this videos! I actually going to neuter my rabbit this month and I wanted to bond with my female one that is already spayed, but I have a question that maybe you could help me. My male rabbit went home with a very resistant respiratory infection (with "Enterobacter cloacae complex" bacteria). We treated him with a antibiotic for several weeks but I think it became chronic. My wishes always were to bond the two but now I'm really scared that my female rabbit can get sick too. Before I knew he was sick (5/6 months ago) I switched bathrooms, toys and blankets like some tutorials mentioned and she never had any symptoms. Can I have your opinion if I should bond them anyways or should I be concerned about my female rabbit get the infection? Thank you for the help.

    But wait I have a 2, almost 3 year old fixed bunny girl who we have had for about 2 years. Just got a baby bunny girl who is not fixed cause she isn't old enough yet.. Do I need to keep them separate for a few month then after the surgery bond them? Or can I bond them now?

    Hi, I have a question and I have two bonded brothers that are neutered and 1 year old. I am considering a girl but in Puerto Rico there are no bunny rescue places so the only choice I have is to purchase a baby female bunny. However I am scared of what I should do as far as bonding her with my bonded pair, one because she will be only about a month or two old and secondly because she cant be spayed until she's at least five months. What can you recommend?

    How do bunnies get the humping out of the system? I am bonding my bunnies right now and they are doing really great but during the night one of them hump the other and trying to get its attention even while the other is sleeping. The first day it was every 3 minutes now it is only during the night so it has been better. It is day 6 now.

    I’m thinking about getting two bunnies and I want them to be bonded. A couple things I’m worried about is that they’ll be babies when I get them and I know they should be spayed/neutered before starting the process, so before then will I have to keep them separated? I know I male and female pairing and that spaying/neutering will help with surprise baby buns, do yo recommend I keep them separate until they can be fixed?

    Thanks for this helpful video. I have a one year old male rabbit who is free roam with a big enclosure where he likes to sleep in and I want to adopt a female rabbit in the pet shop I work at because I have bonded with her but she is not spayed (which I plan to do if I adopt her) and she is approximately 4 years old. I’m very nervous and not quite sure on how to go about it. My rabbit is very docile and sweet. I am not sure how he will react and of course I don’t want him hurt. Any advice for me ?

    My rescue bunny had 2 failed bonds and therefore I rescued her as a single house bunny. She has been spayed for over a year now and I have discussed bonding with the RSPCA where I got her from. They have said they will attempt to bond her again however she would have to go to them for potentially up to a week so I am going to wait until the lockdown is over and I would be able to see her when shes there hopefully. I dont want her to be too stressed by the experience because shes happy as a single bunny but I dont want her to become lonely at any point so do want to try and bond her again. How can make the situation less stressful for her?

    I have a couple of points to bring up to the rabbit community during this pandemic time and also a question for you. Right now, a lot of rabbit shelters are closing up for awhile since they cannot do any sort of bunny dating or adoption stations at local pet shops. These shelters may need some donations and help to keep rescuing and helping all the bunnies that are in shelters. I faced this problem recently and was given the option to foster to adopt. Mostly all of the rabbit shelters around here (Northeastern Ohio) are basically closed up and appointment only for pick up only. No dating options available. HRS in LA had a webinar recently with a vet on board and they recommended to just wait a little bit before adopting right now since this is a big issue for shelters everywhere. OR be prepared to force a relationship that may not click quickly. Now here's my question for you, 101Rabbits. I adopted a new bunny about a month ago and had to bring her back to the shelter due to so many reasons. But the biggest reason was due to the stress on my resident bunny that actually accelerated a underlying physical disease which resulted in ER visits. He is doing a bit better now that he has FULL 24/7 care happening but this is something that may continue to be long-term health management. He has kidney disease and we are still trying to figure out whether this is acute (progressive) or chronic (and manageable). I wanted him to have a forever friend, but now I feel like he may not be a suitable candidate due to his condition. What do you think? Do geriatric bunnies make good bonding mates as long as their symptoms are managed? Or do you think he should remain independent?

    I’m about to get ready to bond my bunny with a nee bunny ad I’m hoping to goes well. His wife bun passed away 7 months ago from e cuniculi, they were grooming and sitting with each other within 6 hours and were inseparable ever since. I waited so long to get another bun because 1. He was heartbroken and needed time to recover from the loss of his wife bun and 2. It’s extremely hard to find adult females in my state and the state next to me. I drove 5 1/2 hours away to get my boy and 3 1/2 to get his wife bun. Thankfully this time I got very lucky and found one only 30 minutes away with a family who just didn’t know how much work it would be

    The main reasons are that pellets, even if you find one without fillers, soy, wheat and that bad stuff, swell up in a rabbits stomach causing their gi tract to slow down and not doing well in combination with veggies (necessary) that are supposed to be digested faster. Another important reason is that they cause dental disease. Rabbits jaws and back teeth were build to grind the food between their teeth. So a left right motion. Pellets and anything that's hard such as rooty veggies or processed treats need to be chewed and cracked. So an up down motion which their jaw and teeth anatomy isn't made for. This motion results in their roots to be destroyed. A result of it can be retrograde growing, infected roots, teeth breaking through the jaw bone, abscesses and other horrible things. One of my bunnies has all of the above and believe me you don't want to experience it. The exotic vets and experts in my country already advice against pellets for many years now and there is no issue with them missing out nutrients. In fact pellets were invented during the war when rabbits needed to put on weight as quick as possible to be slaughtered. They had neither a benefit to their health in mind nor were they thinking of possible after effects since the rabbits were all slaughtered at a young age and the people didn't care

    I have one neutered six-month-old bun and one that was introduced at two months. Things worked out for about a month, and then all hell broke loose when the baby buns' hormones started kicking in. There was blood drawn and I've separated them, however, the younger buck has escaped and fought several times. Now he's neutered and I'm waiting a month, but I'm worried the scars will be too deep in after his hormones die down. :(
