It is around this time last year that we got our little
furry bundle of joy called Pretzel, and since then he has grown a lot in size
and hair. In the beginning him and his older brother Buttons were to sleep in
different cages as they did not like sharing their cages.
But we wanted them to be together and cuddle and be cute. So
I did some research on how to make a bunny bond with another, and it not as
easy as one thinks. To start off, you need to make sure they can see each other
and smell each other through the cages but they need to be far enough for them
not to bite each other through the bars. It gets better with outside time but
apart from being supervised so they don’t eat the house, you need to be extra
careful that they don’t fight each other.
Fighting did happen a lot during these past few tense months
as they both needed to decide who is the boss: Buttons is the larger of the 2 but
was not always the boss as Pretzel is a feisty little one. After many weeks and
quite a few bunny fights later they have finally become the best of friends.
Both bunnies now cuddle together, sleep in the same cage and
even share the same bowl of food, which is great as we have a little more space
around the house using just the one cage. And we finally have something closer
to the ibis bunny ad*.
