To bond, or not to bond?!!

I must be one seriously crazy lady to even think about considering this!! I am wondering whether or not to give bonding a go between little sweetie Dylan, and Beastie Bee The bf wants to keep Dyl at his, but we already struggle giving them both enough time & space whilst their both with me so it would really not work. The only way we could keep Dylan is if they were bonded, and I do feel bad on Rhia being on her own so much. Only worry is that she'll rip the living sh** out of Dylan She is a definate character & has shown nothing but aggression towards Dylan - Ohh What to doo?!

If I were you I would try it. Buns are so funny you never know how she will react. She may go all soft with him. It is possible! Just try it gently so if she doesnt he wont get hurt!

i would give it a go. pirate and jiggy locked and rolled before bonding and now just love each other. i found putting them in a cat basket and they taking them for a drive to be a brilliant bonding starter. ideally you need someone else in the car with you incase anything happens/to keep an eye on the bunnies. then i put them in total neutral territory with loads of new toys and boxes. The tip Jill gave me is the best one - you want to fool them into thinking that that other rabbit has always been there so keep them busy and distracted and thinking about toys and food and not about the 'other' rabbit until they start thinking that the other bunny has always been there and actually ....they love them! oh and keep them in a smallish space when bonding so they can't avoid/ignore each other.

I think you should give it a go. Good luck.

The worst that can happen (if your prepared for fighting) is that it dosn't work out. Make sure you have an extra set of hands and some good gloves on stand-by when you go for it though, and preferably a few days to yourself for monitoring.

At least you will know that you have given it a go. Good luck xxx

I think I'll give it a go Just Dylan is so tiny & fragile, Whereas Rhia is most certainly neither! Will wait til after Dyls spey & when the new bunhouse is up and running then throw um together see what happens

Yup I would give it a go and just be prepared to step in if necessary! Good luck hun!
