HRS Podcast #12 An interview with Educator Jody Springborn about bonding

In this episode we talk about bonding two rabbits.  We talk about some of the tips and tricks we have both used over the years.  This is an art - not a science, so you should know that there is no one right way.  Instead there are lots of techniques and you should have lots of them on hand to try with the pair you are bonding.  You can learn more by going to this link: https://rabbit.org/articles/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Bonding-Bunnies-PPforrabbit.org_.pdf and downloading this great presentation provided by GAHRS!
