Hi everybody!
I will be getting a new bunny on Monday, who will eventually, God willing, be a new friend for my two bunnies Tinsel and Choo Choo. I've read a lot on here about bonding on here, but I'm still frightened. I live in a large studio apartment and my buns have the run of the bedroom and living room. They don't go in the kitchen or the "office" area, so that's where I'll put new bunny. Then I'll build an NIC fence to separate them. Questions:
If buns can see and smell each other through a fence, will that cause problems during the bonding process?
My buns are eight and the new little guy is nine months. Do age differences matter?
Should I bond them one bunny and new bunny or altogether?
Is it safe for bunnies to be in an apartment building hallway (potential bonding venue) that people walk on with their outside shoes?
What else should I worry about?
Thanks,
Emily
And I will post pics.
