Rabbit Introduction

This is what happened when I introduced my new rabbit to my established rabbit. Its a difficult time as rabbits can be very territorial. It went very well.

Aw, a dutch and a hotot? Such cute types of bunnies. Dutch are my absolute favourite rabbits. (= I'm glad the introductions went well.

Dutch are all beautiful, recently I went to a agricultural show which also had a big rabbit show. There were hundreds of Dutch, they were by far the most popular variety and they come in a massive range of colurs (although I have to say I think black and white is most striking.) The other rabbit isn't a hotot she is an english, sometimes called an English spot, lots of people also think she is a papillon which have similar markings.

SO SO SORRY ... this comment was intended for a completely different video of someone doing a VERY poor job of 'introducing' two hostile rabbits to each other

that person needs to watch this video, it looks like you are doing this the right way and it looks like those two will be getting along fine

sorry again for the comment below, but it really, really bothers me when I see rabbits mistreated and I just had to say something to the other person's video

[ianchamberlin]

That sounds awful, obviously that person has done no research into what is actually a very complicated and drawn out procedure!

Im just so relieved that my two did eventually bond after only a few attempts and really very minor injuries. They are both so much happier now and are inseperable.

yah u shouldnt get 2 rabbits well only if they bonded at a very young age but u should get a guinea pig <,<

[ianchamberlin]

No its not ideal to keep rabbits and guinea pigs together, they come from different environments and have different diets also rabbits can sometimes be domineering with guinea pigs or even injure them accidentally when they hop around. Its much better to have animals of the same species together (if they are a social species like both rabbits and guinea pigs) Im sure there are cases where they get on really well but there ive heard horror stories too.

I love the patterns on both! How cute.

Cute Bunnies. Although that noise in the beginning made it sound like one of them was arriving in the TARDIS

[Fluffymonkeyem]

@KirkeySaurus wow...that information is very incorrect. Rabbits and guinea pigs cannot get along. and if by some chance they do, a rabbit could severely injure or even kill a pig. Two rabbits is ideal, especially a Neutered/Spayed Female/Male pair.

woah, thats one amazing colored bunny you got there ^^

[electrochromics]

please read above ... this comment was NOT intended for this video at all, in fact, this video shows a very successful looking introduction

my comment was intended for another video where the human was being cruel and bordering on animal abuse from the way his video shows him trying to get two hostile buns to 'bond'

[electrochromics]

do you really think holding them down by the neck and forcing them to be right next to each other was successful??

[azky08]

Yes, that is true about keeping rabbits and guinea pigs together. A rabbit could easily hurt a guinea pig even by accident as they are much more powerful with their legs. Also, they have very different diet requirements which could cause health problems with either of the two. Although i must say, it has been known for rabbits and guinea pigs to form inseperable bonds :)

it is so cute!!!!

[ianchamberlin]

Well I hope they get on when I introduce them again. I had to seperate them because of fighting, Im going to try again after Anna has been spayed at the end of April, hopefully it should help the situation!

They are soooooooooooooooooo cute together = )
