I've been told by one of the pawz people to stop what I'm doing with the rabbits as I HAVE to follow their document. I've sat for 9 hours and now they have to go back to the cages. I told you I had to follow the document. They can easy disagree to let me adopt him if I dont...

erm, sounds like crap to me.
Are they getting on or fighting?

It sounded like they were doing so well and every movement from them was progress. You must feel very frustrated!

They are fighting quite abit, like squabbling when each other get too close or move.
But I was telling one of the pawz people and basically got told that i MUST follow their document which says to have 30 minute dates every day until they can be together longer. Infact I will quote the email.

I sent
"Yeah, well Rini and Theo have been together for nearly 9 hours. Still having abit of a scuffle when they get close but I'm not separating them unless they start fighting hard. I want them to get used to being together. Hope you don't mind. If this doesnt work then I'm gonna call it a day and say Rini can't be bonded, but I'm gonna be damned if I dont give a bloody good go! They just need to decide on a pecking order. Whether that can be done or not is up to them I suppose! lol"

To one of the lasses I've been talking to

she replied

"hi kayleigh

You MUST follow the bonding document and discuss any concerns with Vicky. We do not take the decision to send rabbits out lightly and therefore expect the adopter to follow the document - it is up to you to supervise the rabbits and seek supervision from Vicky if you are not happy with their progress.

hope this helps

so now I've put them back into separate cages......

I was meant to have mobile numbers for them and dont and the only contact is through email which is lucky to get a reply each day. :/ For a novice, I expected them to supervise a date and give me tips on what behaviours are right and how to react to them.
But I haven't. I understand they have work, I do to, but this is kinda a job for them too.

I'm very close to crying, I've spent 9 hours with them and now its back to how it was yesturday, I feel like packing it in.

what a load of bullcrud just tell them you are following it, how are they going to know otherwise, "their" documentation is a load of bull and isnt even theirs!!!

from the sound of things they were getting on really well, things will not get any easier if you keep splitting them up hun, i promise you that.

not a good attitude to take really

I really don't know what to do...... I dont think their document is their either as its from a website I've seen. I'm too emotional to get them back out. I'll see if Vicky will come out or at least chat with me, and I'll try again another time or something.
Maybe it's just not meant to be.

I agree. Id just tell them I was following it. The RSPCA fosterer yesterday was saying she also thinks splitting them up isca terrible idea if no full on fighting. She was quite chilled about it all but in a good knowledgeable kind of way. Makes sense to leave them together. They will sort it out I'm sure. Its early days yet for a bunny with attitude.

I know :/ but I think it was more to the point that I was leaving them together and letting them decide on a pecking order. The document says to like squirt any aggression like ears back and such forth.
