getting two bunnies to bond

Question
At first the bonding process was going fine. But some how it went in reverse and now both bunnies are getting violent with each other. Please give me any advice you may have on this situation. Thank you.

Answer
Dear Gus,

To be honest, when two rabbits begin to get violent with each other, it is often not worth the stress and misery to force the issue.  They may simply just not like each other.  Even if they are bonded, the bond might be tenuous, and could break under future circumstances.

You can access different ideas on this problem here:

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
