From Lone Bunnies to Best Buddies | Our Bonding Journey 🐰

[@VictoriaRaechel]

I think the funniest thing I learned this time during bonding was that two new bunnies flopping on opposite sides is actually an insult to each other 🤣 they're essentially saying "Oh ya see how comfortable I am? I'm SOOO much happier than you!!". Bunnies truly are the sassiest animals.

[@cakeeeetime]

Thank you for telling us! It is always so amazing to me how we humans interpret animal behaviour! It often looks one way and means something completly diffrent! And then there's an individuals body language. So amazing! You never stop learning when you're interessted in animals!

[@jackniesyty1821]

Hi Victoria! I also want to note that rabbits in bonding that groom each other is actually called aggressive grooming which you have to be careful with they are mainly just trying to get around the bunny by grooming them so they can bite. But Sage seems very gentle so you shouldn’t worry too much. I had two bunnies named Benny and Fuji both fixed and recently Benny has passed away. Fuji did go through a 2 day depression before she started eating again:(. But I’ve have comforted her and now I’m starting to look for rescues. Im 13 and excited to see sage and Cleo together!❤️me, Fuji and Roxy love ya! (Roxy is my hamster)

[@VictoriaRaechel]

@@jackniesyty1821 rabbits use their mouths a lot for communication! It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s aggressive ☺️ A bunny may give a gentle nip because they want to be groomed or they simply want them to move out of the way, but these nips should never draw blood- that would indicate it’s more aggression based. I’m sorry to hear about your loss! ❤️

[@amberbolton5611]

I just want to to thank you for letting biscuit my hamster live a long life she pass away 1week ago in my hand This is what happened so I went to her room to free Rome her like I always do she was not out I gently dug her out her burrow crying I thought she was hiprnating because she was breathing I still took her the vets they said keep her somewhere warm i did the next morning I saw her to check up on her she seemed to get better until I picked her up and she closed her eyes I was crying my heart out I took her to the vets they said they can't do anything she passed from old age I berried her in my garden with her favourite nut walnut I hoped I would grow I'm still upset about it but thank you so much for letting her have the best 3 years ever RIP biscuit 2021-2024

I love sage! So adorable.

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Thank you!

[@spaced.out.raccoon]

That flop Sage did was too cute 😆 so glad to see them getting along! They are going to have a great time together 🩵

[@HammingWays]

Aww im so glad that the two are starting to actually get along and snuggle together🥺 it’s the cutest thing😭💗

[@janesmith5762]

Aww! Im so glad your bunnys are a match! I love how Sage does a flop over Cleo!!! They are so adorable! Love you Victoria! 🐰❤

[@maddykyes7477]

I find it so interesting that less space is better at the beginning rather than more. I feel like with a lot of other species, it's the opposite

[@VictoriaRaechel]

Some people do large spaces for rabbits but I just don’t think it’s appropriate for first time introducing, no rabbit enjoys being humped, so most will run away which would just cause continuous chasing in the large area. It would be harder for them to establish would is dominant then. But to each their own when it comes to the different methods 😊

[@junelondon1703]

It depends...

[@ashleyhayward2319]

Rats also form bond better starting off in a smaller space 😊

[@MarcelajaquelinVasquez]

It's good that they got along well, I'm really glad it's obvious that they were going to get along because they were male and female and I didn't love anything. Greetings from Chile 💞💞

[@bendz_editz]

Can’t wait to see both of them playing around in the pet room!

[@Ameliahayward11]

They’re adorable! So happy for you Victoria! They’re gonna have a great life! 💓💓

Im so happy! I hope their bond is bigger than the universe!!❤

[@Stephanie568]

They're so cute, makes me miss my bunnies even more. I'm sure they'll be best fur-friends

[@Aisha-721]

I love watching Sage look at the camera and wiggle his nose. I think it's cute when hamsters wiggle their noses.

[@piggylover4808]

Wow that went fantastic - I've never had bunnies bond so quickly! Btw cuteness overload....

[@sinead09._]

i definitely think they are going to be a great pair sage was so cute with the flop and they seemed so happy together it warms my heart so much :)

[@judithclaessen]

So happy to see this bonding worked well!! I'm very anxious to bring my 2 bunnies together after a bad experience some weeks ago. One kept humping and circling the other, and they'd bite into each other's fur, pulling out pieces if I'd try to separate them. After half an hour, I decided to separate them again and take it slow. Now they live in 2 separate rooms with a fence in between, but even after week, they still try to attack each other through the bars.

[@katelynrafteryy]

I have basically the same experience I’m very nervous too.

[@GhostArya]

We adopted a hamster from a pet store because she was returned to the store 😢 it was so sad to see it! She was screaming at anyone who even looked at the cage. We have had her for 2 months now and she's doing so much better and even let's us handle her a bit ❤️

[@Mīssīng.Stars1_1]

I’m just waiting for this bond to come to life (there so cute) 🩷🤍🩷🤍

[@LayEng-pq9wp]

Im confident Sage and Cleo will become bestfriend really quickly . The way they made such a huge progress from the beginning to the end was beautiful..💖

[@autumnhamilton7529]

This is so helpful! I'm working on Bonding my two after her partner passed and I have only been doing a few 15 minute sessions but I'm going to try this and see if I get more success.

[@VictoriaRaechel]

In my previous bonds I did sessions as well and it worked out in the end but because Sage and Cleo were doing pretty well and didn't have any fights I wanted to continue bonding instead of separating them ☺️

[@keremaras03]

they are look like lovers😻😻

[@Onlyindasummer78]

There so cute! I was wondering if you could do one of those reacting to hamster tick toks? Love your work, keep shiningg xx✨

[@KRHamstery]

Aww there so good together I hope Sage becomes a permanent meme we of your family ❤❤

[@junelondon1703]

I personally think that a too small bonding space can increase the stress level, cause they can´t hide, disengage or releaf stress by running. I made good bonding results (I did three bondings yet) by giving the bunnies a room or very large save area with water, hide outs etc. It should be an neutral area, where none of the bunnies had been before. I made sure that there were no dead ends, so no one could get cornered. So every hide out had at least to entries etc.. I agree, that you shouldn´t seperate the bunnies entirel when you started the bonding cause everytime you put them together they start from 0. Bonding can take a very long time. My longest experience was 2 months until they were a good couple. I don´t edvice to force them to interact with each other like smearing food on them... they should bond natural and in their own pace. Humans are just there to supervice.

[@VictoriaRaechel]

if that works for you and your bunnies that is great! But that is just not something that I believe works for my bunnies. Giving them a large space enough to run/hide etc would have caused a serious fight and wouldn't allow them to try and figure out who was dominant. All in all, I've bonded 3 pairs now as well and all were also good results, so while your method works for you mine works for me 😊

[@patricia.noblat]

Hi Victoria! I have a question, I recently got my first dwarf (ive had syrians in the past) and plan on giving him brewers yeast and sprinkle it on his fresh veggies and fruit, do i have to buy a certain type of brewers yeast or is any fine? Thank you very much-needed in advance. You really helped me with my hamster journey! ❤

hi Victoria!! I love this so much!! I have a question about my hamster; I have a female syrian 2-year-old and she has been leaving blood in her sand bath. tonight I saw more than usual, and I know she is dying 😔. I don't want to take her to the vet because I want her to have a peaceful passing, not full of stress. what can I do to make her not be in pain? I really would appreciate it if you, or anyone with this experience could respond to this comment, thank you!

[@lillythenature]

I would really recommend that you take it to the vet maybe for some medication because the exact same thing happened to my hamster, No matter what I tried she was in alot pain and 1 month later she died. From then I made sure I took my hamsters to the vet. Yes they may be stressed bet bring a some treats with you ❤

[@MermaidMagical]

Hi Victoria please help me! My hamster was getting really confident around me and I really didn't want to scare her so I haven't tried to pick her up. I was transporting her to her playpen from her cage, while I was cleaning it. I put her in her hideout and gently moved her to her playpen and added lots of bedding to her cage, I went through her house while she was in it and she got very scared, so I tried to move her back to her cleaned cage and she squirmed out of her hideout and fell into the playpen. She looks fine but she is quivering and burrowed under her bedding. I'm so upset that I may have hurt her and it's all my fault. She only fell around a foot but she was very scared and fell on her head. I'm really afraid that she is hurt and it's all my fault! Do you think she will be ok and will still like me? Thank you so much xxxx
