Bonding Blocks

       There are things humans do that actually block bunnies from bonding. Just when you thought bonding couldn't get any more difficult, you learn that you might be contributing to bonding blocks. Bunnies are intuitive and sentient beings, meaning they both perceive and feel. Perception comes from their ability to assign mental definitions to every scent they experience. Their sentient nature has been long established within the scientific community. They experience a range of emotions similar to people: happiness, sadness, anger, frustration, depression, grief, loneliness, etc. There is evidence that bucks have a measure of paternal instincts as well as does maternal ones. Kits learn by use of olfactory sense, from birth on what feelings their parents experience and assign a value to each one. Humans lack the ability to smell emotions so we rely on our senses of sight and hearing to let us know what others feel. If we could smell feelings, we could anticipate bunny movements and understand them better. Bunnies have the upper hand on us. They can determine what we feel like because of the endocrine system glandular releases. Our glands release scents based on our feelings just like a bunny's endocrine system does. So, if you are nervous, frustrated, or sad going in to a bonding session, your bunnies know. They will not respond well to those hormones. Hostility between bunnies can sometimes be a direct reflection of the feelings of anger or frustration by the human. 
          Approaching each session with a positive outlook and confidence will promote happy vibes and elevate the mood of the bunnies. Making sure you go to a calm and quiet headspace before sessions will promote bonding happiness.
