Have you ever said — or heard someone say — "My rabbit hates other rabbits" or "My rabbits are unbondable"? In this episode of the Bunny Coach Podcast, we're busting two of the most common (and most discouraging) bonding myths out there — and explaining what's really going on when your rabbits fight.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why "my rabbit hates other rabbits" is almost never actually true
  • Why "my rabbits are unbondable" is a conclusion most people reach far too soon
  • The real reasons rabbits fight when they first meet 
  • Why social media and bunfluencers are giving rabbit owners an unrealistic picture of bonding
  • The setup mistakes that make fighting almost inevitable — and how to avoid them
  • Why some of the closest, most loving bonds start off the most volatile

If you've given up on bonding after a bad first session — or you're scared to even start — this episode is for you. Most rabbits are bondable with the right partner, method, and process, even if it doesn't look that way at first.
