The Materials Needed & Recommended For Bonding a Pair of Bunnies

There are many materials recommended for rabbits that aren’t all that useful, but in some situations, maybe they could be. Today, these materials will get their stand and explanation of whether they will work for you. Many materials are necessary for every bonding session, but others, not so much, which is why this post will be going through what is necessary no matter what, and what will work for certain situations and techniques.

The Materials List:

  • Natural Treats: Natural treats are extremely easy to find, despite what you may or may not look for. For many rabbit owners, their first reaction would be to look for a packaged rabbit treat, but instead, I encourage any rabbit owner to use fruit for treats. This way, it’s so much easier to know what really is in the inside, not forget that it is so much cheaper, plus you can share!
  • Clothing That Won’t Attract Fur: The process of finding some sort of clothing that won’t attract, or show fur, is pretty hard. I find that grey athletic leggings, jeans, cotton shirts, and athletic sweatshirts aren’t all that bad. Check out my last bonding post from six days ago for more details. These clothing pieces should be found in any clothing store, if not, at sporting goods stores.
  • Carrier: A carrier or a small, enclosed area is necessary for stress bonding. This stress bonding session sounds and looks worse than it really is. Stress bonding is a great way to strengthen your rabbits’ relationships.

Why These Materials?

  • As for the clothing, it’s so easy to look in your closet, bins, dresser, whatever, and find clothing that won’t show, or attract, rabbit fur. The thing about rabbit fur is how fine it can become, along with how easily it sticks to all clothing, some more that the others. Personally, I feel that this is one of the most important steps, especially for anyone who lives with their family, who may or may not be bothered by a clump of fur stuck to your entire body.
  • Natural treats are great to reward your rabbit for their great behavior.
  • The carrier, like I said is a base/area where the rabbits will usually bond. This area is key to bonding rabbits.

Where to Find These Utensils & Materials:

Most of these materials can be found in these stores/areas:

  • Petstores
  • Hardware Stores
  • Convenience Stores
  • Home Goods Stores

Why Should Rabbits Be Kept In Pairs?

Rabbits are very reluctant, and reliant, when it comes to their life of eating hay and acting innocent when they are getting themselves in trouble, so why not double that fun? A pair of rabbits is majorly recommended for any rabbit owner, and because it is so incredibly important to keep your rabbit happy and healthy, I found the information for you.

Rabbits Do Better in Pairs:

Overall, rabbits are very reliant on their partners and family, and with the pairs present, these rabbits are allowed to rely on each other in stressful situations. These pairs allow the rabbits to lean on each other. With the pairs, rabbits are allowed to translate comfort throughout their life, and allow the pair’s chemistry to take over.

Stress Levels:

Because rabbits stress out very easily, allowing these rabbits to bond and connect in these stressful moments is a key to a happy and healthy rabbit. These bonds can strengthen through this usual daily stress that rabbits go through, just like how humans go through stress.

To think about it this way, all humans go through plenty of stress in there life, and for us to deal with stress, us humans, usually rely on our close ones, so why wouldn’t rabbits? Rabbits, like us, rely on our close family and friends to support and comfort us, which helps reduce stress. This reduction of stress is crucial for rabbits, considering major side effects that come with a long stretch of stress.

If you don’t believe that rabbits can bond through stress, then all I have to say is that rabbits have this process of bonding called stress bonding that is meant to stress out the two rabbits so that they feel the comfort of relying on each other.

Natural Behaviors:

By natural instincts, and overall behavior, rabbits are well known to live in large amounts, produce large amounts, and in a result, they rely on each other to live. Because of this, rabbits are very reliant on each other, and pairs allow these natural behaviors to thrive.

Rabbits, in the wild, live in large burrows that allowed a large, vacant area for these rabbit families. Because rabbits reproduce in such a rapid pace, rabbits are constantly in need for large areas for their family. Like us, rabbits tend to have a closer, and more distant family. Rabbits will also have a stronger bond with one rabbit, rather than the other, just like us. For rabbits, their bonded partner, whether the rabbits are the same gender, or not, is like their spouse, or favorite sister, or a brother from another mother.

Is a Pair of Bunnies Right For You? For Everyone?

For those out there who are looking for a rabbit currently, just know that you’re not alone in the decisions of one bunny, or two. Deciding whether it would be best to only have one rabbit is definitely difficult, but that’s why this post is out there, rabbit owners know how excruciating the decision is.

Is a Pair of Bunnies Right For You?

If any person would consider owning a rabbit, I would most definitely recommend the future rabbit owner to look into pairing two rabbits up. What is it that I’m getting at? What I’m trying to get at is that rabbits should always be kept in pairs if possible, the act could save the rabbit from years of stress, lack of comfort, etc., which should be important to any rabbit owner.

For those who plan to become rabbit owners, here is the guide to whether a pair of bunnies will work great, or not all that great for you:

A Pair Will Work Great!:

A pair of rabbits will work great for those who find that any rabbit, despite their shape, size, breed, or even personality, will give them proper and fair care. All rabbits deserve to have the opportunity with a partner, and if the process doesn’t work after about 6 months, I’d consider going more stress bonding, or just consider keeping the valued work up.

Maybe Not:

For those out there that plan to get two rabbits, but one of them is theirs, please don’t be the rabbit owner that only cares for their bunny, and doesn’t pay any attention to the other rabbit. For example, Ollie is my rabbit, so if I only took care of Ollie, that wouldn’t be fair to Luna, especially when you think of their perspective. They wouldn’t understand why only one rabbit is being take care of, which will leave one of them in the dust.

Should All Rabbits Be Kept in Pairs?

Yes, if the circumstances are correct, all rabbits should be kept in pairs, and here is a slight reasoning of why. If you’d like to know the full description and reasoning, make sure to keep an eye out for the next coming bonding post, the title will be Why Should Rabbits Be Kept in Pairs? The extra details of posting times and the time zone that I’m basing it all off of are all in the posting dates and times section of this post, so please make sure to check that out.

The overall reason of why rabbits should always be kept in pairs, if possible, is because of rabbits’ natural behaviors. Wild rabbits live in burrows, along with plenty of other rabbits. This means that rabbits are used to living in clusters, so why would anyone want to break that apart? Keeping natural instincts as refreshed and positive as possible is key to allowing the rabbit to live an enjoyable life with their friend.

Circumstances That Need Avoiding:

  1. Only allowing one rabbit into a home: Be open, please, just be open. If you are stuck in a situation of only allowing one rabbit into your home, I wouldn’t recommend looking into getting a rabbit. Even though many rabbits will thrive without other bunnies, and I accept those circumstances, at least consider allowing two bunnies to live with you.
  2. Caring for one rabbit more than the other: For those who do plan to own a pair of rabbits, please give equal attention. This is necessary not only for your bond with your rabbit, but also their reliability that they have for you.
  3. Only allowing one rabbit to access certain areas: Like the last example, please do not favor one rabbit. Even though one of the rabbits might be yours, and the other one is your sibling’s, please make sure to give equivalent care and respect, along with love, to each bunny.
  4. Taking a rabbit away from it’s paired partner: For those who are looking into only owning one rabbit, but they happen to already be bonded and paired, don’t even dare to pull their bond apart, because those two little rabbits rely on each other, and the moment that they end up in some sort of predicament, and they don’t have anyone to lean on, that can truly understand them, it can really let down the rabbit, and its original partner.
  5. Pairing up unfixed rabbits: As a rabbit lover and owner, I’d expect that this is an obvious statement. Never pair an unfixed pair together, whether they’re the same gender, no matter what rabbit you get, please make sure that the rabbit is fixed before they are brought into your household, or as soon as possible. Fixing rabbits can not only control odors, control protectiveness, expand lifespans, and prevent illnesses, but it can also prevent the obvious, unwanted pregnancies of a female rabbit.

How to Form a Bond With a Newly Adopted Rabbit

Bonding with an adopted rabbit that recently came into the arms of your household can be somewhat confusing, and in some instances, very complicated. I like to make owning a rabbit as simplistic as possible, and because of that, I will be going over the steps in as much detail as possible. Please know that this is for the sake of your education and learning, so if the paragraph is more like an essay, it’s simply because I want to get an important point across, and include the details as well.

Step 1: Know What Strategy You’d Like to Use

Being confident in what strategy you would like to use for bonding, and in some ways training, with your rabbit, is actually very important. With bonding, you will have to show that even though you are soft hearted for your furry friend, that you’re also in control, still in a loving manner.

There are multiple different strategies to choose from, which have all been discussed in an abundance of details, just for you to understand and comprehend. These different opportunities, or strategies, are what you’ll plan on doing with your rabbit, to keep them active, reliant, and submissive. The rabbit is new to you, so keeping the pace steady and reasonable can be a make it or break it situation. Rabbits can’t speak, and they will become confused very easily, so running through your activity slowly, and in a comfortable, reasonable pace.

If you’d like to check out this post that I went over these different strategies and techniques, please click on the following link to lead you to the post, or just look it up by the title that I have it linked as.

Step 2: Know What You Need As For Materials

This step, like the last step, is also included in a post of mine, and if you’d like to know more of the details, please check out that post, I can promise you that there will be a tip in there that will help you, but if not, let me know, and I’ll gladly help you out.

Now that you should know the strategy that you’d like to use, I’d recommend looking into what materials you’ll need for the activity that you’ve planned for your rabbit(s). These materials are listed according to each activity in the post that I’ve done on this subject, so please check that out if you haven’t already.

Step 3: Spend Time With the Rabbit(s)

The 3rd, and most important step, is to actually bond with your rabbit, the main hint, is to simply spend a reasonable amount of time with your rabbit. The most simple actions taken when you’re around your rabbit could increase your bond with your fluffy friend, one of the possibilities could be sitting and reading on the floor near your rabbit. If you’d really like to, I guess you could even read to your rabbit.

The most simple acts and actions could really benefit your rabbit’s feedback and overall bond with you. The most important section of this step, is what it says, just spend whatever spare time you have, with your rabbit. I find that going to my rabbit’s room is one of the most enjoyable parts of the day.

Even if you only have a couple of minutes, just go to your rabbit’s area and spend some time with them. The more time spent with your rabbit(s), the more your rabbit(s) will grow to appreciate you, but also grow a stronger bond with you.

Step 4: Give the Rabbit Positive Feedback

Giving rabbits positive feedback after doing a trick, or even coming over to you, is essential. Rewarding rabbits with a new or favorite toy could be one way. Other ways could be petting your rabbit, giving them a treat, or even just talking in a positive and welcoming manner.

Positive feedback allows the rabbit to process in the perspective of whatever action they just took, is correct, and what you’d like to see from them. Rabbits are more physical learners, at least from my experience with them. Rabbits really do like to know when they are doing an act correct, so allow them to know what is being done correct, reward them.

Step 5: Keep Promoting Positive Reinforcement

Last, but not least, is that it is so incredibly important to promote and stress positive reinforcement through every action you decide to take around and with your rabbit(s). When you have recently adopted a rabbit, they’ll already be very stressed out from the move, and they’ll probably want nothing to do with you. This is something to be prepared for.

When a rabbit has been in a stressful situation in their past, they will hold on to that one situation, and will use it against you. It really shouldn’t take long to observe and learn about your rabbit’s past. Rabbits will make it very obvious when they aren’t in agreement with a decision of yours, especially when you’re handling rabbits. For those who have handled rabbits quite a lot, you’ll know a rabbit’s past problems, and maybe some of the rabbit’s background, just from their reaction. Most rabbit shelters will inform you with this information, they really should, but sometimes, the shelter just doesn’t know too much about that specific rabbit.

If you are working on touching your rabbit’s paws without a negative reaction, or handle him/her, allowing the rabbit to know that this is meant to be a simple and positive process is a must. Rabbits will need as much positive energy as possible at these moments. Allowing the rabbit know that they’re okay, and that they’re in good hands, is so incredibly important to allow this process to be successful.

Materials Needed to Bond With a Rabbit

Since preparation is key for really anything related to rabbits, knowing what should be prepared for a bonding session with your rabbit is very important. Because of this, I will be going over what materials I feel you will need on hand to bond with your rabbit, along with recommendations and my favorite materials and products for rabbits for bonding sessions, not to forget the tips behind these products.

The Materials I Recommend and Where to Find Them:

The Materials I would recommend would be: Treats of some sort, preferably all natural, clothing that won’t attract rabbit fur, some agility course pieces, a clicker, or really any activity pieces.

  • Natural Treats: Natural treats are extremely easy to find, despite what you may or may not look for. For many rabbit owners, their first reaction would be to look for a packaged rabbit treat, but instead, I encourage any rabbit owner to use fruit for treats. This way, it’s so much easier to know what really is in the inside, not forget that it is so much cheaper, plus you can share!
  • Clothing That Won’t Attract Fur: The process of finding some sort of clothing that won’t attract, or show fur, is pretty hard. I find that grey athletic leggings, jeans, cotton shirts, and athletic sweatshirts aren’t all that bad. Check out my last bonding post from six days ago for more details. These clothing pieces should be found in any clothing store, if not, at sporting goods stores.
  • Agility Courses: Agility courses are very simple items that rabbits can really enjoy, but to buy them, they don’t seem all that enjoyable for the price. Because of this, finding different ways to make DIY agility courses would be best. You’re saving money, having fun in the process, and your rabbit is almost sure to love it.
  • A Clicker: This, as well, was mentioned in my last post. Finding a clicker for clicker training that isn’t overpriced can be tedious. The best way to save money with this is to use a pen and click it on and off.
  • Activity Pieces: Any other activity pieces can be new chew toys, new hideouts, fun accessories, different play stations, and more! I find that just rewarding a rabbit with these is great, and best of all, they’re extremely easy to DIY.

My Favorite Materials to Use When Bonding With a Rabbit:

  • Fruit: Very easy access, healthy, shareable, and cheap.
  • Clothing that won’t attract fur: Easy to find and access, can be cheap, minimizes fur across the entire house.
  • New toys: Very easy to make, easy to access in stores, can be cheap, great enrichment for any rabbit, can get a rabbit moving.
  • Food: Very easy access, should already be in the bunnies area, very motivating, etc.

Why I Recommend These Products:

These products are the most simplistic pieces that can do amazing wonders for your bond with your rabbit. I like to keep everything as simple as possible for you, and I feel that these are the easiest and most beneficial products for the entire process.

Fruit and food are so incredibly easy to find, especially since most, if not all families, will already have it in their house. Fruit is a great treat for rabbits, but the food I’m talking about is really just your rabbit’s food. Hand feeding rabbits their own food allows them to take in your scent and recognize you as a reliable person.

As for the clothing, it’s so easy to look in your closet, bins, dresser, whatever, and find clothing that won’t show, or attract, rabbit fur. The thing about rabbit fur is how fine it can become, along with how easily it sticks to all clothing, some more that the others. Personally, I feel that this is one of the most important steps, especially for anyone who lives with their family, who may or may not be bothered by a clump of fur stuck to your entire body.

Last but not least, new toys. Even though this may sound like one of the most tedious products/materials to get, it’s actually one of the easiest. Making homemade toys can be relaxing, enjoyable, and rewarding. I find that my rabbits are huge into chewing wood and cardboard, so I base my toy ideas off of that, it’s really what your rabbit prefers.

Why Is It Important to Prepare For a Bonding Session?

The preparation for anything with any animal is key, rabbits especially. With rabbits, they can be pretty unpredictable if you recently adopted them. This can cause some predicaments in a new rabbit and its owner.

Bonding sessions are no exception. Bonding with a new, or longer owned rabbit can be a struggle for anyone, that’s why I personally think that preparing for any situation is best. With all honesty, rabbits are amazing animals that get into a lot of trouble, but to avoid that, all you need to do is think ahead and prepare.

Preparing For a Bonding Session: You and Your Rabbit

Having an amazingly strong bond with a rabbit can come very smooth, or extremely rough. I’m here to help you bond with your rabbit, and to make the process a breeze. Today, I’ll be going over the preparation steps to bonding with your rabbit. If you don’t have a rabbit yet, or you already do, and you would like to know more about finding the right space for your rabbit, click this link: Rabbit Care Necessities: The Room

Step 1: Materials

The first, and probably most important step, would be the materials you feel, may, or do need. The materials needed for each person and rabbit will vary. For some rabbit owners, the treats they use could vary from mine, or they might use a different bonding method, either way, these rabbit owners have the materials they do, or don’t need.

To get ready to go and gather these materials, make a shopping list of different bonding necessities, along with the additives and fun items that you feel that not only you, but your rabbit may enjoy. The process of making shopping lists for some people is annoying and stressful, even though some rabbit owners, like me, find it extremely relaxing and enjoyable. If you happen to hate shopping, and also hate making the lists for the trip, here are some tips to make the process so much more enjoyable.

  1. Remember that this is for you, and your rabbit. Think of all of the amazing things that will come out of doing this shopping trip, you’ll have a happy bunny, an affectionate bunny, last but not least, a happy owner.
  2. Remind yourself that this is for the good of not only you, but also your rabbit. When you do bonding sessions, you’re obviously creating a stronger bond, but you’re spending time with a sweet little animal that you have the privilege to have. Not many rabbit lovers are actually able to own a rabbit, let alone see and pet a rabbit for fun.                                                                                                                                          Honestly, you should be so incredibly grateful for this amazing gift of owning a rabbit, so make the most of the time that you have with your bunny. Honestly, spoil this little bunny like you haven’t spoiled them before, but still make sure that you are keeping them healthy and safe in the process :). Having a positive mindset, even though the sessions can be hard, but once you get going, and you start to feel the bond coming on, you won’t ever want to let go of your little fluffy-tailed bunny.
  3. Be confident in what you’re doing. Wherever you end up going for rabbit supplies, I can almost guarantee that there is either another rabbit owner there at that point of time, or there has, or will be sometime. There are so many more rabbit owners than you could ever imagine.                                                                                                             One of the times when I went to a hardware store for litter, the woman, who was the cashier, asked us is we owned rabbits. We were confused of how she knew, until I realized that after we had answered that it wasn’t for farm use, she could tell that it was for a house pet of some sort. It turns out, that woman, who was our cashier, owns her own rabbit(s) and uses the same litter. You never know who you will run into, but trust me, I’m sure that someday, you’ll happen to run into a rabbit owner, I can almost guarantee it.

Some different materials that I would personally look into buying or having right away would be:

  • Fruit: Whether you just want to have some good old fruit to share with your bunny, or you want to make them into treats, fruit is an amazing option for treats. Fruit is very high in natural sugars, which is great for humans, but not always for small animals or rabbits. Natural sugar, for rabbits, is the equivalent to added sugars for us, it isn’t that great for us.
  • A Clicker of some sort: If you would like to start with clicker training right away, I would recommend having a clicker of some sort ready. It’s a great idea to get your rabbit ready and used to the clicker as soon as possible if you would like to do a lot of clicker training with your rabbit. This way, you’re allowing your rabbit to get used to you, and you are giving them treats, which gives them a good vibe that is shared when the rabbit is around the owner.
  • Agility obstacle course: This is an amazing way to not only get your rabbit moving, but to bond at the same time. Rabbits love the activity and enrichment of moving around, learning new tricks, and of course, earning treats.
  • Clothing that won’t attract rabbit fur: This is essential for anytime that you pay a visit with your rabbit, if you plan to go out and about later, if not, I really wouldn’t care. I wouldn’t recommend wearing fleece, flannel, black clothing, or very fuzzy clothing near your bunnies. All of the clothing, besides the fuzzy clothing, will seriously attract rabbit fur, the fuzzy clothing will attract hay. (Messed That one up in my thumbnail image)

Step 2: Plan

The next step to the process would be your plan of what you will be doing with your rabbit. Whether you plan to just lay on the ground and let them interact with you, or if you plan to spoil them with treats and allow them to get used to you, here are some different options that I would recommend for a newly adopted rabbit’s first bonding session:

  • Laying on the Ground: This is the most simplistic way to bonding with a rabbit. You pretty much just lay on the ground, let the rabbit come to you, sniff you, and you can give an occasional treat.
  • Giving Treats: Giving occasional treats to your rabbit as you spend time by them is a great way for them to get used to your scent, and your overall personality, and actions.
  • Clicker Training: Clicker training is a much longer process that I would recommend for more experienced rabbit owners. It is a very simple process, but making sure that your rabbit trusts you enough before hand is the key to it all.
  • Agility: Agility is great for any rabbit owner, even though clicker training can be contributed, but you don’t have to include it if you don’t want to. Agility is an amazing way to enrich your rabbit’s natural lifestyle, along with having a good time. Clicker training and agility sessions should be kept short for the sake of your rabbit. Rabbit’s have very short attention spans, and shouldn’t be forced to do something that is meant to be fun, but instead, is being turned into work.
  • Petting & Handling your rabbit: While handling your rabbit, you’ll have to be extremely careful, but also decently experienced with doing so. Doing plenty of research before handling your rabbit would be best, whether you’re experienced or not, a time of refreshment could really help. As for petting your rabbit, being gentle and soft is the best way to pet your rabbit, especially if they aren’t used to you.

Step 3: Setup

To then become a little more prepared for the overall process of bonding with your rabbit, setting up the entire area and format is key. The process to this is:

  1. Having your materials ready and prepared. If you would like to do DIY treats for your rabbits, I would already have those done, and I would recommend introducing them to your rabbit, just to make they actually like them, because some rabbits can be extremely picky.
  2. Have your clicker device ready, along with the treats, if you plan to start clicker training. If you don’t feel like buying a designated clicker, you can simply just use a pen and use the click from the pen itself to be the clicker.
  3. If you would like to do agility, I would recommend having all of the obstacles and trick ideas ready to go, along with a clicker, assuming that you will be using clicker training as a reward, along with the treat of your rabbit’s choice.
  4. If you just want to lay on the ground, all I would recommend would be wearing an outfit that won’t attract rabbit fur, along with the rabbit treats of choice.
  5. Last but not least, if you plan to handle your rabbit, make sure to have treats on hand to give good reinforcement during the process of handling your rabbit. Getting your rabbit used to handling as soon as possible is key to having a smooth process in case of an emergency.

 

Step 4: Look For Tips

Looking for tips from other sources is a great idea. Even though many sources only want you to look at their facts, I don’t believe that should be the way that learning should be. When you look at multiple sources, you’re able to back up different facts, due to the fact that there are multiple reliable sources saying the same thing. If you happen to find a source that goes against a fact, keep looking.

As for bonding tips, some greats YouTubers would be LennontheBunny, StormyRabbits, and 101Rabbits. These are the three Youtubers that I feel are best with bonding with their rabbits, along with the content and facts, which always seem to be one point.

As for articles, the American Rabbit Association should have bonding and handling information, otherwise other rabbit bloggers could help. BinkyBunny.com and The House Rabbit Society are other amazing article options.

Step 5: Prepare

The preparation is pretty much completely done if you did all of these steps. Any other things to consider would be extra research, looking ahead into other steps (so keep an eye out for my bonding advice posts which are every six days), and to get advice, tips, research topics, and overall facts from multiple sources. Whether you like watching videos, or you want to read an article, it’s good to have facts to back up each other.
