Question to those with bonded buns

[stargazerLily]

Do you have food bowls and litter boxes for each rabbit or just one of each for everyone to share? Currently I have two litter boxes and 2 food bowls (technically 4 because they each have a pellet bowl and a veggie bowl), but Orion and Galaxy eat out of all the food bowls and use both litter boxes. Sometimes they will even eat out of the same bowl at the same time and use the litterbox at the same time. Is it wise to take away one set of bowls and one litter box, or could this lead to problems?

It doesn't matter. Just because they are bonded now doesn't mean they will always be bonded.

Hello!

I have one set of everything, and mine are fine sharing. I make sure they can both get to everything if they are using it at the same time.

Either way you want to do it is fine.

If they are recently bonded, I'd keep both for now. Once you see they are more comfortable with the new situation, you could take away a food bowl, but I'd keep both litter pans for now. Then, takeone litterboxaway at your descrection. Just see how they do and go from there. Please ask any other questions you need to for this to make sense and help you.

Ive had a bonded sister pair for almost 2 years now. The cage holds 2 food bowls and 2 litter boxes. They are usually both using the same thing. They will eat one bowl of food and move to the other one. Same when they are using the pot. I keep 2 just to give them more options.

My two are great about sharing. It's really cute. Especially when they're sipping water out of the same bowl.

I started off with double everything and gradually cut back to one of each. They do great with sharing and I think they actually prefer it that way. You want to be careful about one eating more than the other and not having enough food because it can cause problems with the bonding but otherwise it shouldn't be a problem. If they seem more tense, it might be wise to addthe otherfood bowl again.
