Our Bonding Services & Best Pairing Information
🫂 OUR BONDING SERVICES- Bonding, particularly Rabbit's, can be a long & tedious process! Rabbits are complex & just like us humans 😜 they are fussy about who they do & don't like. Although i can never 100% guarantee that a bond will be successful, i will always try my best for you 💕Monitoring the early bonding process is extremely time consuming, can be tricky & also requires a bit of confidence. It should be done by someone with a deep knowledge & understanding of rabbit behaviour & psychology. Having successfully bonded for myself, friends & customers over the years, i offer an bonding service where you bring your rabbits to us, with (me) a neutral person in a neutral space where the rabbits are less likely to display territorial behaviours. Where there are no emotional attachment or humanising of behaviours from the owner. I understand how difficult it can be to watch your rabbits displaying certain bonding behaviours!
The bigger the group of rabbits to bond, the longer the bonding process can take because you have more personalities to contend with.
I will bond within my Outhouse area, as it's visible from my kitchen, so they can be seen at ease, even from a distance as their trust is building.
I will quote you the minimum time that i expect to be able to initially bond your rabbits for you, i will happily do over a longer period if you require so. Please note a true full bond can take 3/4months.

⭐ BEST PAIRING- Theirs a few ways of looking at this... Best Likeliness of bonding is boy/girl, girl/girl & boy/boy as the least likely. I would just like to point out that any bond is never 100% guaranteed. *Boy/Girl- I reccomend a staggered purchase of getting your boy first. The buck will need to remain separate for 4-10 weeks after his castration (depending on his age of operation), as they retain sperm. Then get/add your doe once his appropriate weeks have passed. So if you would like his wifebun from us, as soon as you've booked his castration date, contact us & let us know, this way we can plan for your girl bunny. *Girl/Girl- bonded pairs such as mother/ daughter can generally live happily togeather unspayed, but again can never guaranteed & you may need to separate & spay both girl, this is more likely with sisters or unrelated does. *Boy/Boy- I personally won't sell boy pairs. If you purchase elsewhere, I highly recommend having boys both castrated asap & waiting a few months before trying to bond togeather, however its not completely unheard of a pair of uncastrated boys living togeather either but i personally dont recommend it & if tensions arise, you must be prepared to separate, castrate & try to rebond. (Please remember neutering helps with, spraying & behavioural issues but it is a higher invasive/risky operation for girls). I am happy to chat more to you on this topic if you wish.
Bonding can be attempted yourself, with my advice or we can do this for you with our Bonding service. Theirs two types, slow bonding which you can do or intense, which we do for you.Slow bonding are cages butted up against each other, this is a great way to promote closeness but with that safety barrier. (bonding run or 2 separate runs can be used in the same way). *Leaving one bunny in their cage & allowing the other bunny to run freely around them/their house. (then vise versa for same amount of time). Bonding times can very, monitor their behaviour & go with your gut instinct. *Good signs are trying to lay close to each other, kissing & grooming each other through bars. Swapping their areas, so they can get the scent of one another is vital. *Dont be eager to rush putting them togeather, as soon as you see affection, let them build on it.
