So our 2 Flemish boys are litter mates and have been together since birth. We just got them nuetered and they are 7months old. Since we seperated them around 5-6months we had to do some introductions. This is the first bonded pair that we have had and I wanted some opinons on how the bonding is going.
The first time we had them out together it was in a neutral territory and a smaller space. They were fine with eachother just hopped around, then they both mounted eachother a little bit. We let them out for about 20 min together and put them back in their cages. When the went back into their cages they did start to groom eachother through the C&C cage.
The second day we did introductions they were very curious about eachother, for about 10min they groomed eachother and took turns laying side by side. Near the end our more dominant bunny (Nubs) mounted about 3 times for a couple seconds each time. Chili (The submissive one) just layed there, kind of sleeping while he was doing it?We removed him after a couple seconds and they went on laying by eachother. Both took turns grooming eachother and themselves after that.
It seemed to us that the introductions went really well, they have always been good with eachother. Theyre cages are built right next to eachother, we often see them grooming eachother between the C&C cages. Therefore we thought that they would do okay, but we still want opinions on if they really are doing well. Also, how long should we do the small introductions before making the time longer and space bigger?
Sorry for the long post, we just want everything to be done right!! :bunnydance:
