Lol I’m dying this is priceless
😂😂😂😂😂
Her name is ebony
My two buns bonded instantly. I am so lucky! Within two hours of meeting each other they were flopped out next each other and grooming.
Wow that’s what I’m hoping for
Mine did too! They were such lovies and one of them wasn’t fixed and they didn’t start fights or anything
Chara Ardrey good luck! When my dad moves out, we’re. Planning on bonding Winston!
WOAH that was amazing
were they fixed?
I just rescued a bunny on Monday. She's about a year old and was spade a month before I got her. When I brought her home she instantly took a liking to my yorkie (I knew the yorkie liked bunnies prior to getting one). I'm extremely happy that my dog can go into her pen and just hang out and the bunny doesn't mind her being in there. Today she even binkied around my dog and my dog was like freaking out trying to figure out what was going on lol. Just thought I'd share this :)
Don’t want to be mean, but you spelt ‘spayed’ wrong.
Wow...so lucky human ❤️😭
That is so adorable, thank you for this comment
That’s sick ;)
That's so cute
Although she mentions it in the video it is VERY IMPORTANT to always have a towel, or clipboard at all stages of the bonding process. never go into a bonding session without something to physically seperate the bunnies unless you like having bloody arms. My bunnies love me but when they attack another rabbit the go into a blind rage and will bite you
Melon Katsu 2nd sub! Thanks for the tip, 👍🏽🌈
But also, very thick gloves, or does it not matter?
Melon Katsu I would recommend using a dust pan most people have it and it works wonders
Yeah with no hesitation they don’t want to hurt YOU it’s the other rabbit! It’s an instinct
Wish I knew that earlier 😃
the black rabbit standing on its two feet just melts my heart, omg
Ebony
her name is Ebony
Hrabina Ebony is adorable 😔
So I'm so supposed to put them two together in a scary place so that they will HAVE TO comfort each other?
Otis the mini loop yup
that is one technique that seems to work the most. having the bunnies be a little scared help to stop aggressive behavior and help them realize "hey, its kind of nice to have a furry body snuggled up next to me."
Otis the mini loop I feel like the rspca have the best approach when it comes to bonding. Slow, calm and patient. It should take up to 6 weeks. Here is a link www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/pets/rabbits/company/bonding
Yes !! My step sister did that
no methods have changed since 3 yrs ago
When I first started to try to bond two of my girls they ignored each other for a long while, Im glad to know its a good thing, I was a bit worried they didn't like each other were much.
Did they start grooming each other?
Fab vid. Thanks. We are adopting a baby girl who is basically blind as she was born with cataracts. She will be bonded with our almost 2 year old boy, very slowly and gently and this gave me some very good tips. Much appreciated. =)
Be sure to neuter and spay trust me they will be so much calmer and little or (in my case) zero humping
Yes!! Finally a good bonding video that answered all my questions!! I have a 2 month old girl at the moment. I plan on rescuing another bunny from a local rabbit rescue when my current girl is a bit older and spayed already. ❤️
I just started bonding today so this video came at a great time! Lots of good info and it answered a lot of questions I had on bonding.
This was very helpful! I have a rabbit and have been wanting to find a friend to keep him company when I'm not around. I wouldn't have known any of this without this video, so thank you! :)
Found this really helpful, will definitely re-watch this if I get another bunny in the future, as I lost both my bunnies within a few weeks of each other to unknown causes before Christmas, they were both sudden and unexpected, I miss them both greatly 🐰
We just got bunnies yesterday and they seem to be bonding fine! They’ve been cuddling and just hanging out together and it’s so cute
Best bonding video I've seen. Thank you so much!
Great video really helps alot i am currently bonding my two bunnies simba and nala nala grooms him alot even been in the same carrier with no fighting simbas very good with her x
You should probably mention that stress bonding is a last resort. There are plenty of ways to bond rabbits without creating stress ❤️
Yay! I've been wanting someone to post this video but nobody would post one!
Thanks so much, this is a great video!! I'm about to bond two boys and I'm so nervous! I have read a lot about it. They are both neutered, and it has been about 6 weeks since the last neuter so we are ready!
Thank you for the info!!! We will soon be bonding our male bunny with a female companion!! We're super excited!!
lol i loved the fact you used a dust pan😂😂 11:51
smart idea though...
This is really helping me bond my rabbits, Misty and Henry. :)
This is perfect vid just what I was looking for. I’m getting another bunnie so I need to know how to bond hero and the bun bun. Thanks you this was the perfect vid!🤗
you can also go to rabbit . org for a bonding powerpoint check out lennon the bunny and howcast series on youtube for more rabbit information. check out r/rabbits on reddit
Thank you so much for doing this video I have 2 more weeks till I start bonding!!
Thank you, this was very helpful! I'm getting a second bunny next week, fingers crossed 🤞🏻
this video is amazing
thank you so much, it helped me alot!!
keep up the good work
Thank you it helps ur tips and suggestion. I'm a bunny mom for about 4 yrs now sometimes its hard to read their mind and the way they act.
A lot of good tips here! Though I really wouldn't stress bond until as a last resort.
Thanks so much for the video! Super helpful. in your experience, how long does the bonding process take??
I'm getting a foster to adopt bunny on Sunday since they aren't doing speed dating due to covid. The 2 weeks I have her they are only to be introduced to each other by scent. Hopefully everything goes well!
Thank you for all the information its will really help.
This was really helpful, thank you 🙂
Another great video!!!! Helpful as usual!!!! Thank you and keep up the good work!!!!😜😜😜😜
Suggestions please on where to start the binding process when my existing bun is free roaming? His main living area is our loft upstairs. This is where he sleeps at night. He hasn't been in an xpen for a while.
Thank you so much for this informative step by step video. We’ve had Booger and Bean for just about a year now and we adopted them bonded and spayed. They seem to have fallen out of their bond so I’m hoping that these steps will help rekindle their love for each other :-)
One question I have is around neutral areas. We live in a small apartment in which they occupy half the living room. We don’t have any other areas that would function as a neutral area other then the bath tub. For the cementing process would it work to shrink down their normal enclosure and grow it from there?
Great video! Very informational
I'm planning on getting a new bunny to bond with my single male, his brother passed away a few months ago after being separated because of fighting (the one who passed away suddenly started attacking Peter and not allowing him to eat to a dangerous level, so I had to separate for Peter's safety and health). Now that he has been alone for a few months and is back to full health and a healthy weight I think it would be better to give him some new company before I'm in college and I'm home less often than now. this video has been a huge help to me as it is my first time trying to bond two rabbits together
thanks for the tips that was very helpful!
So much help thank you haley!!!
This was so helpful thank you !!!
Thank you for the great advice! 😊
Thanks for this helpful video!
We are in the pre-bonding period. Do you think I have to remove the territorial poop? (my 1st bunny lives free, and the new one in a crate)
My bunny’s are in a split cage rn so they can see each other and my boy bunny that just got fixed a week ago is like moving the barriers the middle and trying to get to my new bunny is this bad?
thanks so much, im about to get another rabbit and i really want to make sure my other bunny and the new one get along
Great video! It helped a lot!
this was realy helpful my rabbits were sisters they were fine but one of them started biting the other so I had to separate them I have tried bonding them and its going well untill I put in food how should I go about this ?
My bunnys are separated using a fence at the moment. One has just been spayed and the other is getting done soon. They sometimes nibble each other but it has not been bad. They lay next to each other too. Today the spayed one (girl) has been chasing (with ears down) the one who has been there first (boy). It has come over all of a sudden and I'm a bit worried. Fingers crossed they will be bonded soon
Why is mocha mounting Ebony so much? Aren't they both spayed and neutered?
In the video I explain that humping is very common in bonding. It is in no way a sexual thing, it is a dominance thing. Mocha is telling Ebony he is dominate. Completely normal and common in bonding
Oh okay. Thanks!
+101rabbits Since it is just a dominance thing, will a female do it to another female?
+Hamsters Minecraft And More Yes. In my bonded pair, the dominate female will sometimes still hump the other to remind her who is boss!
+Hamsters Minecraft And More I don't believe females can, only because (I believe) male rabbits do the mating, not the other way around. Don't quote me on that, because I'm not sure. :) Besides, male, not only in rabbits but other animals, prove to other males they're the 'top dog', if you know what I mean.
after each bonding session do you put the buns back in their respective pens or switch them those times? Then once the space is the "desired" size then do not put them back into their pens, do I need two separate litters or one bigger litter for them to share?
I have two rabbits, and they were not from the same litter, but lived with each other when we adopted them both. Male and female, so we had to separate them once they could mate, and until they got spayed and neutered, then when they healed, we put them together again. We don’t have a cage, just a pen, and when they want out, we lift the pen up so they can go out, but sometimes I carry them out for a little pet pat, and they run around to exercise. They bonded fairly easily, so I think it just has to do with personality of rabbit. Sometimes they go together quickly, sometimes not. :>
In the spring im getting two girl rabbits but i was planning on getting them from a rual king and as babies and they would all ready have been together so would I still need to do all this?
one of my bunnies isn't neutered, but my other two are. larry (the one who isn't neutered) is not agressive and is sweeter then my two others. should i still get him neutered before?
What if they're outdoor bunnies? I've been having bonding sessions in the bathroom, I tried to move it to the run but it didn't work out so I've gone back to bonding sessions in the bathroom. I was wondering how I would move the sessions outside then be able to leave them at night to cement it? As I'm not going to sleep outside with them ha!
im thinking about getting another rabbit and bonding the one i have with it, so i was wondering if one could be younger then the other or do they have to be the same age?
Hi I was wondering is there a time when it's too late for bunnies to be fixed? My bunnies are both girls and 3 years old. I was also wondering if I can bond them since they are sisters and both girls? They have been fighting latey
My 2 female Netherlands were spayed, the day after the spay one of them starting to chew the other rabbit's wound so we seperated them and had them in joining cages, just so she wouldn't try to open the wound of the other one. We'd have the out and about running around all fine but one day one rabbit jumped into the other rabbits cage and they had a fight. Since then we have had issues. We have essentially been re bonding them and for the past couple of weeks it has gone okay (the early days they kept having fights when out together)- just taking it slow now. But a few times one rabbit has jumped in the other's cage and a fight has happened again. There is part of me which is feeling like we are not going to be able to get them back to being friends that live together again.
So how do you introduce a third into a pair? Do you do bonding sessions as a trio each time? Or double dates first then trios?
Hello, you say with the cement process they have to stay together for 2 nights, do they stay together throughout the day as well with the cement process? xx
Thanks for your help!
We adopted a female spayed bunny today as a friend for our male neutered bunny. They are currently in separate spaces.
When I put them together very briefly, the first thing that happened was the male chasing her to mount her. She wasn't fond of this. There was a lot of thumping. I ended the session fast because I was concerned for her. She is actually still healing from her spay surgery. I assume it would be better if we waited a little longer for her to be more healed first?
I was too helicopter mom during that... lol
I have 3 rabbits, 2 does and 1 buck. All 3 in different cages/playpens/condos. I do have a new 12 week coming home from a rescue. 1 doe is 5 years old and the other is 7 months old. They have regular play dates already. So I am planning on slowly bonding my 7 m. old with the new baby, since she has had a few other playmates and has shown very good signs of liking other rabbits. Is there any other suggestions to make this stage go properly. I am planning on eventually keeping them in a play area together, but making a new bigger one in the process of the bonding. I have had play dates before but never bonded a rabbit to live together. Oh and I really enjoy all your videos. They have helped me out a lot in the last year. Thank you very much. I am all ears for advise
I'm learning alot thank you so much. My babies dwarf is 2 months n I have to check if female or Male. Just don't know when?? I own 2 yr old spayed lionhead I rescued
What do you do when they really want to attack? Like biting and turning around eachother. One of the two really doesn't want anything of it and is thumping but the other is like charging! Do you think they will bond? (sorry for bad english).
hey when I went to play with my bunny this morning I notices that he had like puss in his eye I looked it up and it said take them to the vet within 24 hours but my vet isnt open and we cant really afford it anyways have any advice or home remidies ?
my vet told me that my rabbits had to be introduced to each other before I get them neutered because they will have to be together. They keep on fighting though and Im not sure what to do. if u could respond that would be awesome because I really could use some advise
Hey Haley. I just got my second rabbit Casper 2 weeks ago. He has already been neutered. I already have a 3 year old spayed female. Casper is 6 months old. I have only started the pre bonding faze but my female is being very territorial. She has managed to escape the x pen a few times and get at Casper. I’m kinda terrified now that Coco is going to really hurt him. I’ve tried everything to keep her in her pen but she just keeps escaping. I’m 12 and my mom told me that if I am going to get bunnies they can’t leave my room so both are in x pens in my room. I’ve tried putting blankets on top of the pens to make sure Coco can’t jump over but she still jumped through the blanket. I don’t know what to do.
So, I’ve had my 2 rabbits for three years now. Both female and both lion heads. And they keep in bonding and unbonding. Recently I have put both of them in a different room and a different cage and one has gotten berry aggressive and territorial. This one has pretty much always be the aggressor. Do I still do this process or should I modify it because they already know each other?
Thank you so much! This video is so helpful and gives me confidence that I can be successful in bonding my bunnies. #bartandlisa
I have had my 2 female rabbits for 3 years and they are getting along fine! I really want to fix my 2 rabbits but should I still bond them afterwords?
My two female rabbits aren’t spayed and have been successfully bonded, which I’m aware is very uncommon, however I’ll still be getting them spayed in December due to the other benefits:) I’m sad they’ll have to be kept apart for a while:(
So I have two Baby girls 8 weeks but they are different not from the same litter and I was wondering if I could do this too? I can't spay them since they are to young anyone can help?
I tried to put them together in a tub but a fight broke out and i ended the session on a bad note. Can they still be bonded? Any suggestions on how to restart the process? Will I have to keep them all really far apart so they forget about it? I don't know what to do, I really screwed up.
How can I rebond my rabbits? We have a home in CA and in AZ. They were born in May 2015 and were bonded when I got them, they are brothers. They were both fixed in August of last year in CA, there was some natural fighting during that process but when we took them to AZ they were bonded. We came back to CA for a couple of months and they picked territories and fought so badly that I had to take them to be checked out by a vet. How do I rebond my rabbits?
I have three baby rabbits. when I got them they were like 1 month old and they bonded really well.
We are getting bunnies in about a week but they won't be neutered/spayed yet. they are all boys from the same nest so would I have to separate them and then bind them?
Could you also do it at home if you have what you need?
I’m getting two new male bunnies soon. They’ll be neutered on August 12 and I’ll get to take them home a few days after. They are not bonded and don’t know each other yet. How long should I wait after their neutered to prebond them? I’ve read you should wait 4-6 weeks to bond them, but I’d like to know when I should start prebonding. Should I let them settle for a week in their pens side by side without seeing eachother? Or will they get too territorial over their pens? Should I give them a day and then start switching toys and blankets in their pens? I’m not sure because only days after the neuters they will still have those hormones, so they might not be happy about the prebonding. Please help. Thank you.
My bunny roams around my room, how could I clean the room to get rid of my rabbits scent?
can u do the same video for baby bunnies ?? Or is it just the same thing
WOW I never did any of this when I got my rabbits I just let them go in their cage and that night they were sleeping together
Mine too! They would attack a stuffed toy rabbit (which was so funny) but they never were agressive to each other
Oof lucky I'm getting a new rabbit this morning so my lionhead isn't lonely
Vanilla Fox I’m getting my second lionhead on Tuesday..I’m nervous about the bonding process but I don’t think my current rabbit will be aggressive toward the new one 🤞🏻
@@artisticVchan I got a second rabbit months ago and only next weeke d I am bonding them
@@artisticVchan it’s almost a year now how did it go?
This was a really good video
I have been trying to bond my 2 rabbits for 4 months and they will not stop biting each other. one of my rabbits is full grown and the other is almost full grown. the larger one has bitten the other one to points where he is bleeding and I don't know what to do with them any advise?
can you keep a not nutered rabbit and a spayed rabbit together? (my male rabbit is too old to get nutered)
My bunny has been like cleaning my other rabbit but its like around her eye and on her eye and i dont know if he is actually cleaning her or like nipping her but my other bunny doesnt care but im still a little worried. I have a video of him doing it and its called Bunny Cleaning if you wanna see
When I first got my second rabbit I just put her right in her side of the run I had. She and my other rabbit immediately started fighting through the chicken wire barrier. My mom told me it was ok to let them fight, but it resulted in a nasty cut on my new rabbit's nose. For some reason after that they were fine with each other, and soon became best friends.
Is it alright if I get two bunnies who are different breeds? (Example:Netherland Dwarf and French Lop) should I get two bunnies at once or should I buy one first and then introduce it to another one? I’m interested in getting a bunny and hopefully my parents will let me get one this year
What breed is mocha I was looking into getting one?
how many days should you bond or whats like the average
I love watching your video, we successfully bonded a few females, But I have just put up a video about one of my rabbits attacking the other and the damage two females can do to one another. A lot of patience and persistence but also knowing when two are not meant to be.
I have 2 bunny’s they need to get fixed but my one bunny bumbo keeps jumping out of his x pen into my bunny Theo’s area some times they Pluck out pieces of each others hair but today I came home and they were laying together on the ikea bed I have for Theo idk what to do they like each other I think but I don’t know if I want them together Bc there not fixed yet plz let me know what to do
i have a male who just got neutered. he will be 1 month of neutered in a week. my female is not spayed but i’m scared to get her spayed bc my other female didn’t make it after the surgery. how do i work with that?
How long should we bond the bunnies for? I just started sessions this week in the tub and they’ve been mostly ignoring each other and sniffing around each other a little. My male bunny has nipped at my female bunny when she tried to get him to groom her but then they went back to sitting next to each other like whatever.
I have one 8 month old rabbit and I just got a 2 month old rabbit... the older one is aggressive and the young one does not want any conflict and just runs away. I've tried stress bonding and have had them both in a bathtub for a few sessions. The older one gets relaxed sometimes but the younger one always holds still in the corner. She always seem scared of the oldest. I've only been at it for a week but they don't seem to be getting any closer. What should I do? Am I doing it right?
My male rabbit is fixed and weve waited a month but when we get the new bunny she isnt old enough to be fixed will that cause a problem?
Thx this was very helpful.
Hi I don’t know what to do as all my rabbits are boys an£ from my personal experience it hasn’t worked out as there were 2 brothers and I now have 1 rabbit that’s either 2 or 3 years old and 2 brothers that are 8 weeks old how do I know if they will not fight when fully bonded?edit: when my 2-3 year old was humping my new rabbit called blue was chasing each other in circles and Ralph my 2-3 year old got bit in the privates my mum doesn’t like taking rabbits and guinea pigs to vets as it is too expensive or whatever and h3 was bleeding but as soon as I put him is his age right after it’s stopped but it is bite hard I don’t want to continue after watching bonding until new rabbits are vaccinated and neurted is this the right thing to do?
I got a second bunny a few days ago but by bunny i have longer keeps starting fights and they chase like a fidget spinner and bote and pull fur. I have to literally pull one of them away and can't just simply put my hand inbetween. They are in a seperate pen and smell eachother but it's not going well my new bun is very cslm and relaxed though but I don't know what to do. I need to put the other one back in the other pen. They just keep attacking and I can't end it in a good situation..
Do you have any tips for getting your parents to allow you to get more than one rabbit? I have one, and he's getting neutered in April. But I really really want a second one. My mom says that it's more likely for us to get another dog than another rabbit and she always told me we'd never get another dog. Help! Any tips?
My mom got me two bunnies and I'm trying to do my research and do what is best for them. I put them together in my room with close supervision and they were basically exploring and turning their backs on one another, and occasionally sniffing one another curiously. One was even binkying! They got pretty close and they were fine with the other sticking their face into their fur before they started chasing one another and I put them back in their respective cages. My parents aren't too keen on spending the money for getting them spayed. Do you think it's necessary for these two?
If I have 2, and adding a third do you to this process all at once, or two times, each old bunny with the new one?
I think once with both
i’m looking to adopt a rabbit to bond with mine, should i get a younger one then mine( like a bunny) or should i get one near his age?
