We’d never claim bonding is easy, but it doesn’t need to be so hard!
When you let the bunnies choose their partner, you can save weeks or even months of stress through the bonding process.
Our dear Grouse had two failed bonding attempts before he met Blossom. But when they met, something was different..
Both bunnies were feeling stressed, Blossom from being away from home, and Grouse who was recovering from his last bonding attempt. You can see them shaking slightly in the close-up clips.
Remarkably, instead of avoidance, they sought comfort in one another. We tried one bunny with Blossom that day - Grouse was the only choice.
After going home together, they were never separated again.
Of course, they had a couple of growing pains. Blossom was grumpy that Grouse wouldn’t groom her, and would nip him in frustration. But things never escalated. Grouse would simply hop away (our little pacifist).
They were fully bonded within 48 hours - no more tiffs, just cuddles and comfort. 🤍
We love this outcome for both the bunnies and the humans - the less stress, the better! These matches are rare, even great matches have some “bunny business” to sort out before they settle. But Grouse and Blossom decided to take the easy route. 🌸🐰

These babies had a hard start, but they were found in time, and now thriving at @cozy_carrots
The whole family is doing well. Dad (Wasabi), mom (Amalthea), and their second litter are all in foster homes.
This could’ve been tragic. Grateful for this win.
Come meet the babies at Cozy Carrots - they’re available for foster or foster-to-adopt - Rabbitats.org/foster
