Hi. I adopted a male (grey and white) and female (pure white) rabbit separately who were both alone. They have both now been spayed/neutered and I am wanting to bond them. They’ve had some bunny ‘dates’ on the grass in separate pens over the last few months and I’ve been swapping over their litter trays and toys etc for a while. I started with the pens at a distance and now the pens are around 2cm apart and they’ve spent a couple hours a day (when dry) in them.
Last week, they physically touched through the pens for the first time (video) The male licked the females nose a few times. She didn’t seem to mind at all and set off binkying around her pen. They did this a few times. My next step is
for them to only have one set of bars between them and to then move to introducing them in the kitchen (neutral) for the first time. I’m very nervous as I’ve never bonded rabbits before and I’m scared it’s going to go wrong so I’ve probably taken it way slower than necessary. Do you think they look like they’d be ok with just one bar between them? What sort of behaviour would mean they’re ready to meet in the kitchen?
Thank you ☺️
