        So, today is their third day. I am bonding a 6 1/2 month female holland lop,Flower, with a 5 month male holland lop, Bear. (Both fixed.) The last three days, I have been giving them an hour each. Each time they are calm, neutral, face-to-face, cuddling closely. I don’t see any aggression. Bear was even humping her yesterday, and she didn’t seem to care. Today, there was no humping, and they are just as normal, nibbling happily on their hay, etc. Do you think it’s safe if I let them stay the night in their new permanent home tonight? Keep in mind that my bed is right next to their cage, so I would wake up in an instant if they were fighting. The only reason I ask so soon is because they have both never been aggressive towards me, and their cages have been next to each other for the last two months. I am going to see about letting them run around in my room for maybe half an hour to an hour, just to see if their personalities change. If all goes well, I would like to see what your thoughts on about putting them together in their big cage. Thank you for reading,

          Generally you want to do neutral sessions until they get along > semi neutral session until they get along > cementing. Cementing is where you supervise them in their shared home until they haven’t fought for 24-48 hours. After that they are usually okay to be together.

          I would do longer sessions in semi neutral territory to see how they do before moving on to cementing.
