Re-Attempting to Bond a Group of Ten

It's nervewracking I have a group of 8 and a pair - I tried to bond my pair, trio and group of five together but the pair were both recently neutered so still a bit hormonal and wouldn't go in. I've given them a few weeks to settle and they are all chasing and nipping and a bit nervous which is understandable really as last time we had a few injuries I'm not going to force it of course but fingers crossed, they are starting to calm down and flop out now.

Gosh Nicola 10 , how lovely to have 10 bonded buns I sometimes wish I could bond all 21 of ours as it would make life so much easier at times

'Good Luck' anyway at bonding them all

Oh wow, you have a functioning group of 8?!!! That's fantastic! Good luck with your group of ten, sending some positive bonding vibes

Thank you I have managed not to pull all of my hair out, I kept getting woken up by thumping and chasing though!

It's not an easy job I think you are very brave xxx

Hopefully they calm down soon and get it out of their system. Good luck

Good luck hun - let us know how it goes!

thank you they have settled down now, they are all snoozy bunnies between 10am and about 6pm or 7pm (or 24/7 for Lily!) so they have started to flop out or just sit and nom hay Little Lucy, the smallest bunny (mini rex) has gone around and given everyone a good hump not very ladylike of her.

Goood luck! That would be super, still can't believe you have 8 all happy and bonded

they are all huddled up together and there's been lots of grooming going on, eeekkk

This makes me feel their could be hope for my 7.

of course there is patience and perseverence I love big groups

I thought bonding pairs was bad enough!

Good luck!

Thank you, well I have extended the pen and tomorrow hopefully will extend a bit more again. It's hard to get the balance right with such a big group, the first time we had them in a small space which obviously you need for the bond but I think especially for Lily and her big French lop bum it was just too stressful, so I am extending a bit faster than I would normally but without giving them the whole run of the place.

I think we definitely need lots of photos I'd be fascinated to see what it looks like!

Harvey and Max had a little scuffle this morning, and Harvey got his leg caught in the pen he was rolling around screaming in terror it was horrible, I managed to get his leg free and took him straight to the vets. Luckily it was just a sprain but it was terrifying for me and him.

He is back in now and they are still doing ok
