Bonding Attempt 3
Well, I think it wentp pretty well! Julian sniffed Jaxom and they explored a little. Towards the end of the session Julian attempted to bite jax in the face, but I squirted him and he did not like that at all! Again I had them cuddled with me holding there heads. It went well!!

GOOD STUFF!! It sounds like things are improving dramatically! Thanks so much for keeping us posted!
Keep it up and well done for all of your effort, it will be worth it when you see those 2 buns cuddling up together, a bunny needs a friend.
We bonded tonight and it went GREAT! I went into it thinking they were going to tear each other apart and I was only going to have fluff of Jaxom (glass half empty?). Well anyway! Julian and Jaxom did sooooo good!!!!!!!!
Julian was grooming himself and Jaxom sat behind him takeing in big wiffs of Julian's fur, LOL. Julian and Jaxom walked around and around and explored! They were sooo good! But, sadly, Julian did nip Jaxom in the face 4 times. First and Second werent' to bad. Third Julian bit jax, Jax bit Julian and Julian then pulled fur out of Jaxom. Sibling Rivery? The Forth Time, get this! Julian had streched out, his legs behind him and about to fall asleep when Jaxom came up behind him and was sniffing Julian's back legs. All went well but then Julian got mad and bit Jax so Jax bite Julian twice in the side http://burns.thefinaldimension.org/otn/angry/nono.gif ::bad bunnies!!:: Luckily none of the bites were bad and they were nips, no fighting or anything. I beleave we have a WONDERFUL future in-front of us!!!
We ended after the fourth time. I allowed them to cuddle with me holding there heads and to explore a bit more. They did so well. They didn't really acctually seem to mind each other to much! They sat about a foot from each other and groomed themselves!!!! I am so exited!!
All in all, I am VERY happy about tonights progress!!
Ashley ;D

Ash,
sorry I haven't been on in a while, work has been hectic and we are also working frantically to keep the rabbit sanctuary open and it seems like I have absolutely no time for myself....even to pay my bills!!!!!
Ok, so I'm really behind...who is Jaxom and what happened to Tyah????? :confused: :confused: :confused:
Hee hee! Tyah turned Male not to long ago and was nuetered 4 weeks ago. I changed his name From Tyah and Jaxom when he changed sexes :)Quote:

Glad your back!
Julian was being mean last night so we didn't bond. He was in a really cranky mood :rolleyes:
Ash
Well, bonding two boys can be tough...did you go to the HRS website and look at the bonding tips? I think there is an article titled "When Bonding Gets Tough". A great solution too is to put them in a big cardboard box and take them for a ride in the car---15-20 minutes. Most bunnies hate car rides and this will force them to rely on each other....you may have to do this sev times a week for sev weeks. Good luck!
uggh!!! If only life was as simple as that!
See, I was a bad mom ;) and socialized Julian to much as a baby bunny, he isn't scared of anything, not even Petco. Car rides are great fun for him and don't scare him at all, so it would be nothing expet scareing Jax to death and takeing Julian for fun. I tried the dryer attempt with some shoes in it. All it did was scare Jax and make Julian aggitated.
