Hi, I've finally bit the bullet and I'm making today the day to keep both bunnies together in the pen.
Didnt start off well today. Rini must have remember the attempted mount and straight away went to box. After a few tense meetings, both rabbits are chilling at either side. The pens about 4'x2'.
They are both relaxed until one comes near the other.
How much of a scuffle is allowed to decide who is "top dog" before it becomes damaging to the relationship.

I know you all do this type of bonding so it would be great for some advice.
How long before I can put some hay in for them and stuff. Should I attach a bottle?

Any advice is appreciated.

as long as no blood is drawn then there isnt such thing as too much, they will settle down soon enough

i would leave water out till they calm down, and then put it in in a bowl, the risk with a bottle is they could get the spout in their eye if they bolted, theres no reason you cant line the floor of the pen with hay, aslong as its an all over coverage

I'm new to it so have no advice to give though i'd think it would be best to give lots of hay, all over the enclosure so they have something to munch on and something to occupy themselves other than arguing. If you put it all over the floor i'd say that'd be ok.

Please correct me if i'm wrong everybody ...

right i will let them see if the next scuffle can show what their place is cause they keep boxing at the moment.
I'll put hay over the floor lol will be a mess to clear off the carpet but you know XD

hay all over, rini and theo munching, rini has been going over to theo, still bit tension from her but theo is happy munching.
Any more advice anyone?

no biting just boxing in the face :/

just had a big boxing match. they've been together for 2 hours now, is this normal?

Beat me to it!!

thank you mother nature. thunder really makes nervous buns relax :/

put some music on, will help keep them calm through the storm

yes the boxing is normal, it sounds good so far
