LOL ok I'll try not to let them drive me insane   Oh geez I should have used the cube that would have been so much better!  Ok next time I'll use the cube!  It's hard with Archie because well with Gracie when she was about to attack her ears went forward and you knew but with Archie he'll be fine one minute and not the other and just attack.  Would petting him when he pushes his head down and Sandy not doing anything maybe help his aggression?  I'm thinking tonight setting up the x-pen so the bathroom is smaller and putting them there maybe putting 5 layers of sweaters on too

Thanks for the vibes Jersey, I think I'll need as much as possible with these 3 devils

OMG, I'm so angry right now!  I really don't think I have the patience for them anymore   I had my husband make the cube before he went to work and I put a blanket in and put Archie and then Sandy in.  He snapped and attacked her.  I thought maybe it's the blanket so I took that out and put a tile down and but Sandy back in.  He went at her again and she fought back just growling at each other.  I had gloves on and I put them in to separate them and Sandy bit the front of my hand (and I have skinny hands so it HURT!!), and that's when I pretty much got upset with them.  Yelling at them to stop, I pushed their heads down and said NO!!  A few seconds later let them go and they just attacked each other.  I was too afraid that someone was going to get hurt, just circling around growling and biting at each other.  He just really hates her now and I can't even get them next to each other without them biting each other.  UGH I'm just so upset right now.  I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.  Obviously I didn't end it on a good note because I was just so upset and put them back in their cages.  We're actually worse than we were in the beginning, he can't stand her now and wants to kill her.  I dunno, I'm just really loosing patience here.  I just don't see them bonding.  I know one thing's for sure I'll never try a trio bond again after this.

I'm sorry skibunny, (healing vibes for your hand...)I know how discouraging it can be. You might feel better after some days' rest from bonding sessions. It won't hurt to take a break. Even the rabbits will appreciate the break from the aggression.

Barbie's description of how to force ending on a good note is exactly what I had to do with Valmore and Clifford. They hated each other and good notes just didn't exist between them. I did the same for Mops and Neigey, it usually works well.

Remember that you don't have to bond them. But you can if you want to, now or at a later point. What you are seeing is a vicious cycle of attack and retaliate. Your two friends have a little grudge going on. If you want to do a session again do it on the premise of total restraint, (yes, I too, have looked into muzzles for rabbits, and they don't make them...)holding them down in a box on your lap so that they are touching but cannot fight, nip or charge in any way. These sessions are draining because there is no reward for you. When I did them I would just focus on TV and not think of the frustration I felt over the bunnies wanting to fight.
The other thing I had suggested in the past is the wet feet session in a sink with a little water at the bottom. You had said that they would jump out, in that case, eiither get your husband's help, or try it in the tub.Only do this if you house is warm and dry with the heat turned up so nobunny gets cold afterwards, rabbits dry slowly. With very aggressive buns that will fight to break skin you might want to have a cup of room temp. water on hand during any session to break up a serious fight without getting your finger chomped off. You would dump this water on the aggressor's lower back in case they lock their jaws onto one another. It startles them apart. I always have the cup of water with me during sessions in larger space but only had to use it twice.

You could suspend any bonding until the summer and start fresh with an outdoor bonding pen at your parents' possibly.

I would like to point out that you are not at square one really. You had come very far with Archie and Sandy and it is not unusual for two newly bonding rabbits to want to fight.

How is Archie doing with Gracie?

Skibunny, I was thinking about your bonding some more, and watched the videos of Archie and Sandy. Those looked so promising.

There are rabbit bonding situations that aren't about 'good notes' or grooms or signs of friendship. They are about preventing bloodshed and only that. Take this approach and with patience you can wear them down. Any session without bloodshed = step in the right direction.
