moving buns?

So I'm having a little bit of a dilemna with housing the buns... With their failed bonding (again ) they are still being kept seperately in the house. Hubby has never really been ok with this arrangement and now that it's not looking like they're going to be bonded anytime soon, he's not happy. They make a terrible mess, especially when they're both moulting like they are right now. They've both chewed holes in the carpet and they're noisy. Hubby has been good putting up with them when he really doesn't like them but I'm reaching a wall now.

So I'm thinking of moving them out to the garage. Obviously I would wait until it warms up a bit so they're not stuck out in the cold unprepared. I know I'll miss them in the house I've always been one who doesn't see the point of having pets and sticking them outside. Not to say having outside rabbits is a bad thing, it's just not for me. I guess I just think it'll be easier on mine and hubby's relationship if I do this. I would never ever get rid of them, even though he would love that Anyway, I'm not sure why I posted this really. I guess just to see what you all thought... I'm still not set on the idea, but I'm toying with it.

Aww bless ya, it's not an easy decision but at least you can have a great setup in the garage for them and it's not a 'them or me' situation.

When we still had Evo, hubby and I would often come to blows over the state of the house from him (Evo, not hubby ). I know it will make you sad, but I think your relationship with your hubby has to come first. And you can bribe him to make sure you get a fantastic setup in the garage!

Aww, I think you will have to go with this too, and try different bonding methods, I'm sure it'll come right in the end.
Could you compromise that the buns are let in the house, at your discretion but that they live and sleep outside?

That's kind of what I have been thinking of doing. I would have their set up, food, etc in the garage and then let them in the house one at a time when I get home each day. As long as I am able to watch them I think them being in the house won't be a problem. It's when I'm not around that they are destructive I'm pretty sure hubby would be so thrilled to have their setup in the garage that he wouldn't think twice about me letting them in the house.

I am going to try and bond them again eventually, I am determined that they will fall in love I just want to give it a little time for them to forget how much they hate each other
