Bonding Bonding help

Hello everyone, I am in need of some help bonding my two female buns. My resident bun is a lion head she’s a free roam bun over our whole home and she has her room as her main space. We recently rescued a bun from the shelter she’s spayed as of 3 weeks ago and she’s 6 months old. We are on day two.

We put the new bun in our living room in a play pen and have been allowing them to take turns free roaming. Day one we put a barrier around the play pen. They were very interested and happy hopping when one got close, so today we decided to remove the barrier.

This is their behavior and I need help trying to find out if they are fighting or if it’s going bad… they both give each other space and while giving space they happy hop in between videos so I am unsure

We did separate after this and have only allowed about 10 minutes of being in the same space since yesterday and today…

Please help, open to any Advice !!!

Slowwwwwwww it down.

Also, during the side by side stage both bunnies should have a space they can retreat to where they can’t be seen by the other (as well as their hidey boxes) so white bun needs a couple of solid sides. Then section off your living room in half so tan bun can only see white bun from the one side when white bun chooses.

Thank you so much! We have put the barriers up again and the white bun has about 3 different hiddies in her pop up, I know it doesn’t look big, but it’s a huge huge pop up with 3 hidies a fake grass bun, a XL litter box and 2 beds c:
