I'm excited to see progress in Dexter and Ethan's bonding. In this post, I explained the relationship between these two bunnies before and after they were "fixed" in order to highlight how important neutering / spaying is for rabbit bonding to succeed.

RABBIT CARE IN THE PHILIPPINES 13 - MORE RABBIT BONDING
I figured that since both my kids will be stressed during the entire trip to the vet anyway, why not let them console each other. This picture was in the car ride I think, but both were likewise stressed even at the vet proper. And why not? There was about a dozen giant barking dogs. Heck I was afraid of them.
As the theory goes, even rabbits that would likewise be hostile to each other, might appreciate each other's company when there's a stressful situation. I don't know if there's a long-term effect in their relationship, but it would be nice if they both remembered that they had a moment of bonding.
Visit postscript: This happened over the weekend. As of today, Ethan's ear ringworm is looking a lot better; Lily started eating shortly after we got home and is now voracious as ever.

RABBIT CARE IN THE PHILIPPINES 12 - RABBIT BONDING
We see lots of pictures with rabbits piled up on top of each other (in a good, happy way). And so most of us probably think that is normal.
That is not normal at all. That requires a lot of work.
I've written two posts so far about my attempts to bond my bunnies. It's promising in that there's no downright hatred, but it's quite apparent this will take time. As you will find over and over in all rabbit care sites, before you attempt the bonding process, you need to get your rabbits neutered and spayed by a rabbit savvy vet.
