Progress

I actually caught Frisco doing the bunny-slipper pose tonight - where they tuck their feet up and settle down like a hen on a nest. I think it's the longest I've ever seen him go without moving.

There is much less aggression and more curiosity through the fence now - I think I'm going to try a single layer of fence tomorrow to see if they try to groom through it.

Pepper even flopped! She twisted her head and flopped down next to the fence - this is a sign of a very happy bunny indeed and I've never seen her do it before. Of course, she doesn't have a lot of practice at it yet, and audibly bonked her head on the fence. *giggles*

They are so very different. She likes to stretch out and survey her kingdom, whereas he loves to play with toys. He's just discovered that he can roll his pellet dish around the floor and it makes lots of noise.

YAY! This is very exciting- all the 'happy bunny' vibes from everyone must be working lol Rabbit dives have to be the funniest things in the entire world.

So, once they like each other enough to be bond-bunnies - are they going to share a cage or are you going to keep seperate "bedrooms" for them while they have the run of the house?

Not something I'd know 1) since Peanut is a breeder so will remain whole thus is not likely to have a buddy and 2) cats and ferrets bond differently.

I should be more descriptive.

Not that Peanut WILL be bred - just that he could!

I intend that they share a cage when needed but have free run otherwise.

I may have to feed them separately if they argue over greens, and there might need to be more than one litterbox. I really don't have the space to keep separate buns - that's why Frisco is a foster - if they really can't get along her will go back to Red Door to find another home.
