#39 - The Tiny Moments That Tell Me A Bond Is Working....
Description
Sometimes rabbit bonding success isn't about one big dramatic moment — it's in the tiny interactions that most people miss.
In this episode, I share a beautiful video update from a client whose rabbits, Daisy and Cooper, I helped bond in person. Daisy had been a solo rabbit for some time, and Cooper came from the local SPCA. Their bonding had a tricky start as they worked out their hierarchy — but watching them genuinely relax into each other is exactly why I do what I do.
In this episode I cover:
- Why tiny interactions are often more telling than big dramatic ones
- The story of Daisy and Cooper — and the moment that made my day
- Why relaxed body language and chosen closeness matter more than "no fighting"
- How a bond becoming more secure can look very quiet
- Why it's easy to get caught in a panic spiral during bonding — and how to step back and observe instead
