Poppy & Oscar spent nearly an hour this evening on our patio, there were some scuffs between them, some chasing and some mounting but generally, for their first hour out since a rather nasty fight which they had at home, we were quite pleased with this first encounter. We used the water pistol tactic, which is not the preferred option, but basically, when bonding bunnies you have to have distractions and you do not have to actually spray the rabbits with water but the area near to them and this acts as a warning if they go towards each other with a view to having a fight. Unfortunately, both Poppy and Oscar managed to get wet, but at the end of the session both were more comfortable with one another and were washing and then ignoring one another, which in the early stages of bonding rabbits is good news. We will keep you posted on how they progress.
