It's going great!!!!!!!! They are grooming alittle (both). No mounting.
Eating with no fighting. He is flopping out....I mean total flop...dead
bunny flop. She doesn't flop much. They have been together an hour and
a half. No problems...we are considering letting them stay together.

Any one on here care to weigh in on this?

YAY! I'm no expert on bunny bonding, but it certainly sounds like things are going wonderfully to me!

I don't know about keeping them together, though...like I said I'mDEFINITELY not an expert at it, so I can't lend any advicewhatsoever. :?

Have you checked the various threads in Rabbit 101 about bonding?

 

[JadeIcing]

Neither are aggressive. He has no teeth. I don'tknow! I want to but at the same time I just don't know. The pen isright in front of my bed and I am a light sleeper. So if they did fightI would here.

Congrats on the new bun!

It sounds like the bonding is going really well too! That is fantastic.

Personally, I wouldnot keep thenew bun with yourcurrent rabbit overnight, at least till you have observedhowthey acttogether for a bit longer.

Also, I read somewhere that new buns should be quarantined from yourcurrent rabbits for a short period, to make sure they don't show anysigns of sickness.

I am no expert though, so my advice may be wrong and I would probably wait for the opinion of the more experienced members.

I can't wait to see photos of your little darling!

Well the new guy has been at my moms house. Shewas fostering him. We work with the rescue. So I know he is good, alsohe was just vet checked a month ago.

Well we put her in her cage last night. Today it is 7am and they areboth in the pen. We set it in the living room so they will be next tome all day. He is flopped out, she is doing binkys. As long as theydon't fight they stay togther. I am home all day so we'll see.

It's funny...He is flopped out....she will go over nose to nose. He creeps closer....lick.
Look up..."What I did not groom her." She licks..."What I didn't groom him!"

Well they are having a major mutual grooming session. I mean it was just awesome...I started crying. I must be such a dork.

 

[aurora369]

Oh man, that must be so sweet!!!

You are very lucky, from what I've read, it's quite rare to find truebunny love like that. Most couples will take a little whileto get used to each other.

Can we get some pictures of the happy couple?

And don't worry, I get a little emotional when my bunnies are doing their bonding sessions too.

I cried the first time Basil and Max groomed eachother (although thatwas after abuot 2 months of bonding, so it was more relief thananything)

Sounds like things are going great!I think its find to keep them together as long as youre sure theres no fighting.

We need some pics soon also!

Well last night we tried seperating them andthey were so upset. Stomping there feet, flipping dishes, just plainmad. So we put them back together to see. They both flopped outtogether, so we decided to try it. Not one fight I kept waking up tocheck, they were either grooming or cuddling.

 

[Haley]

Thats great! Congrats!

 

[aurora369]

Yay!! That's so good.

They lived happily together over night? It sounds like theyhave formed a very close bond already, and should be best friendsforever!
