Sometimes bonding bunnies follows a strict set of rules that keep the human and bunnies safe, pace according to the bunnies' tolerances, and lessen the chances of hostility triggers. Other times, bonding breaks those rules and friendships are still forged. So how does one know what to do?
The bunnies tell us how to approach bonding. When rabbits have been previously introduced without incident, avoiding most of the safety rules might be satisfactory. If bunnies have been in direct contact previously and demonstrated aggression, either with circling and lunging or fighting, safety guidelines must be followed. If bunnies are sound or scent reactive, carefulness must be given to their comfort. Highly reactive buns should be desensitized to a certain degree before bonding sessions to avoid negative interactions. All reactive triggers should be identified before face-to-face sessions. Eliminating variables which might contribute to unfavorable outcomes is beneficial to forward progression. The individual temperaments of buns should be evaluated first, then identifying their roles as they would be in a colony, followed by reactivity and poor habits, sensitivities and resource preferences. After all considerations, I can calculate a bonding algorithm to suggest.

AuthorAn avid animal lover, I became invested in improving their lives. Bonding mixed species together as well as same species is a mission so house animals can live happily together. I have successfully bonded many bunnies that had been red flagged as unbondable, bullies, or fiercely independent. Archives
