Thank you so much for sharing these moments. Bunnies are complex and not everyone admits to the stressful times or that bonds can break. Keep it up, love your content. Many thanks.
I've been having trouble figuring out a structure for part 2 of Turbo and Jelly's bonding journey so for now, I've selected some highlights from one of their bonding sessions for those who want to see what a bonding session looks like. I never planned to show this footage with it's original audio (or I wouldn't have had music playing) but I think it's useful to hear our real reactions to aggressive episodes. I have some ideas for part 2 but I'm not confident that the information is all that valuable/already been said by everyone else. I was thinking to address the different methods of bonding bunnies. I feel like some people can have very strong opinions on which way is the right way but I feel like there isn't just one way to do it. What do you think?
Yes to all of it. And you’re very right about different opinions. We’ve tried several and still haven’t had success so I’m always looking for bonding content no matter what. Each pair are different, it’s not a one size fits all.
It's best not to interfere with a bond, unless it's to break up a fight, stroking them is interfering and triggering the reaction. You almost have to pretend they don't exist. Personally, Ive found the most effective way is starting in an even smaller/ neutral space with lots of hay and leaving they there for 24 hours. They have no room to fight, then gradually increase over a few days. Also, don't watch the bond constantly. Get a pet camera and stay away, only step in ir something escalates or they won't establish who's the dominant bun. I was always told not to stroke bunnies during bonding at all because you make yourself a part of the bond and trigger jealousy. I was also told that the dating method doesn't really work because you're breaking the bond and starting from scratch every time you do it. They also recommend waiting a long period after a fight before trying again. It is really stressful whatever way you do it, but these are the things that worked for all mine and my trio x
My buns are in the bonding process atm. And one is really jealous, so what triggers the fights is when I touch or pet one of them. So I have to pet both at the same time to stop the fights
