When Bonded Rabbits Fall Out — Episode #38
In this episode, I share the story of Joey and Chandler, two bonded mini Rex brothers whose relationship broke down once hormones kicked in — and how we got them back together again.
What we cover:
- Why bonded rabbits fall out
- Why babies often get on, but adults struggle
- The importance of neutering and waiting 8–12 weeks after
- Why keeping them separate in the meantime is essential
- The dangers of repeated bonding attempts without a plan
- How to read bonding behaviors — when to step in vs. wait
- Joey and Chandler's happy ending 🐰
Key takeaways:
- If they loved each other once, they can love each other again
- Never underestimate the damage rabbits can do to each other
- Bonding needs a process — observation, setup, and timing
