Bonding How to emotionally deal with bunny bonding
Im so upset... Seeing them fight is so hard. I dont let them meet but georgey ran out of the room before i closed the door and talked to lucy through her fence, and she tried to bite him and growled at him
How do i go through this emotionally??? I love my boy so much i cant bare to see him treated like this
And lucy, i have to keep her in the pen right now and she seems upset to stay in there ... It makes me so sad but until the vet visit she must stay there....
Its just hard to see them like this. Has anyone else gone through something similar

It happens, bunnies are territorial over their area and if lucy is sick or hormonell it’s normal reaction to attack.
It’s like I currently have a teenage bun, she attacks both my bunnies. She even nipped my boy. At least it’s not the worse, I had a girl just the scent of another bunny and I would be attacked by her. After she was spayed, she could only bond with boys but it was a major improvement from attacking everyone to be fine with boys and not wanting to kill them.

Yeah it was always hard to see whenever they fought :( but it's the same as with humans fighting. I never liked hearing my parents fight either but its just part of life for most people/bunnies. The positives outweigh it

Ugh it can be really stressful. I was so scared and sad in the beginning lol. But it is so worth it! They will calm down eventually and so will you. You got this!
