Not all rabbit bonds go to plan… and when fights happen, it can feel like there’s no way back.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real-life rebonding story, including a pair who came back from a difficult fallout — and what that process can actually look like behind the scenes.

I also talk about why some rabbits seem to “hold a grudge,” what’s really going on in those situations, and why bonding is often less about luck… and more about skill.

If you’re feeling unsure, stuck, or worried that your rabbits have gone too far, this episode offers a different perspective — and a reminder that things aren’t always as final as they seem.

✨ There may be more hope here than you think.

I have had a few people come to me lately who are wanting to get two baby rabbits, or already have and didn't know about the risk of them falling out with the hormones, so I thought I would do a quick podcast about it!

If you have questions like

Can two baby rabbits live together?"

"Best gender combination for baby rabbits"

"Getting two baby rabbits — male or female?"

"Are two male baby rabbits OK together?"

"Can two female baby rabbits live together?"

"Should I get a male and female baby rabbit?"

"Will baby rabbits fight when they grow up?"

"Do baby rabbits need to be separated by sex?"

"When do baby rabbits start fighting?"

"Can baby rabbits mate with their siblings?"

This is for you!!

This episode explores why bonding a bereaved rabbit with a new companion can be much harder than a first bond — and why that's completely normal. Drawing from a recent client consultation, Fiona discusses the emotional and behavioral changes in bereaved rabbits, common owner frustrations, and practical steps to set up a smoother bonding process.

Do rabbits grieve when their bonded partner dies?

Learn how long rabbit grief can last, the health risks to watch for, and how to safely introduce a new companion. Learn how long rabbit grief can last, the health risks to watch for, and how to safely introduce a new companion.

Do Rabbits Grieve When Their Bonded Partner Dies? What to Do Next

Rabbits form incredibly strong social bonds, so when one bunny dies, the surviving rabbit can experience real behavioural and health changes. In some cases they may become withdrawn, stop eating properly, or even develop gut stasis, which is why it’s so important to support them carefully during this time.

In this episode of The Bunny Coach Podcast, I answer a question from a bunny parent about what really happens when a rabbit loses their bonded partner and how to help a bereaved bunny through the transition.

You’ll learn:

• Whether rabbits really grieve and how long it may last
• Why bereaved rabbits can be at higher risk of gut stasis
• Signs your rabbit may be struggling after losing their partner
• Why it’s usually best to give both yourself and your rabbit time before rushing into getting another bunny
• The pros and cons of adopting a baby rabbit vs an already neutered rescue rabbit
• Why rabbit “speed dating” at rescues doesn’t always predict bonding success
• How quarantine and pre-bonding can help set up a future bond for success
• Why simply having another rabbit nearby can sometimes help a bereaved bunny feel less alone

Losing a bonded rabbit is heartbreaking for both the owners and the bunny left behind. But with the right support and a careful approach to rebonding, many rabbits go on to form happy new partnerships.

The Bunny Coach Podcast

Episode Summary

If your rabbits went straight into a fight during their first bonding session, you might be convinced they’re unbondable. But before you give up, listen to this episode. With experience supporting over 500 rabbit bonds, the Bunny Coach shares why fighting doesn’t mean failed bonding — and what you can do instead.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why rabbits often fight on first meeting — and what it actually means

• Why it can seem like you have two dominant rabbits — and what's really going on

• Why a tailor-made bonding plan works better than a one-size-fits-all method

• The rare circumstances where a rabbit genuinely cannot be bonded

• What to do if bonding really isn’t working — including rehoming options and why there’s no shame in that

Key Takeaways

• Fighting on first introduction is very common and does not mean your rabbits are unbondable.

• Most rabbits — even rescue rabbits with difficult histories — can be successfully bonded.

• What looks like two dominant rabbits is often a dominant rabbit and a frightened one.

• Bonding requires a flexible, tailored approach based on your rabbits’ individual history, your home setup, and your available time.

• Truly unbondable rabbits are rare, and usually have experienced significant trauma.

• If bonding doesn’t work out, rehoming is a valid option — not something to feel guilty about.
