Omg that title made me panic I thought you had seperated them after all the work youve put in, those pics more than make up for your sleepless nights though I bet.

Dont tempt me! I found it a really rewarding experience because you get to know your rabbits behaviour so well (and who the little terrors are!)

Hoping by xmas to have introduced Summer x

Re: Im giving up bonding my three....

I was ok with bonding the two pairs (M&F), infact I basically just chucked Maud & Malc together (4 years ago) as I didnt know any better really, and they chased each other for 3 days
But, they are the most loved-up couple I have ever seen!!!

With Colin & Cilla I did it all properly - Small carrier, car ride, everything! They're ok, but no-where as loved as M&M, but then it's not been very long.

Malc, as lovely as he is with his Maudymoo, doesn't seem to like anyone near her!
Thru the bars, he's had a go at both Colin and Cilla

through bars hunny n sunny use to try wee on bebe and scratch her. Summer is doing the same to them atm, if any of them go near her she will try scratch them. I find it easier when they are all 'done' and have been properly groomed and de-scented

I think pairs should be okay to bond, as there is only 2 and if its male and female usually they click (sometimes it takes the odd one to figure out how to make friends)

I have 1 male and 2 females happily bonded, but Hunny was not happy for another female to be around. Luckly Bebe does not attack back under any provokes (sp?) or circumstances (sp?) So she wasnt the problem however breaking the bond between hunny n sunny (litter mates and bro n sis 3 years) was hard but once they accepted bebe they were happy. Bebe is abit clumsy too so they had to put up with that which took them a while to get use to

The best way is to just give it ago if ur worried just seperate them and try in afew months but u have to try be confident about it i would help u bond them but i dont think ur near to me lol x

Re: Im giving up bonding my three....

Yeah bonding just two was ok, it's just the thought of bonding two with two and maybe having to seperate four bunnies scrapping

I will give it a go sometime, but not right now as Colin and Cilla haven't been together very long....and yes, we're miles apart

My local rescue would definitely help

You have to be strong about it! Any advice i got was from Crofty and other people on my thread I had no rescue involved because i didnt want them to go away from home to be bonded if that makes sence

all 4 wont scrap at once! youll get one that will have ago at the other and theyll start chasing and the others will just defend Water squirt them all until they stop (and they will) then theyll start grooming each other. It should be easy with normal bunny, unfortunatly the main problem i had was with Bebe.. Shes an albino so she 'scans' the room and the other 2 didnt know what she was doing, shes an angora so she needed to be taken away for grooming (didnt end well) and shes clumsy and doesnt no how big she is so when she jumped down from one level to another the others are made jump by the bang she makes

They are use to her now though and because they love her they groom her! meaning her fur is lovely now! i just need to brush it for her x
