The problem is that Winslet thinks the whole place is "her room" and I have to be careful.
Every day, Winslet gets to spend some time in the kitchen while Izzy gets to run around the living room for an hour or so. He's also a small bunny, so it's more room than he had at the shelter.
Tonight I put them both in the bathtub and made scary noises to try and get them to cuddle, like people do at scary movies. Then they got some time to run around in my bedroom (which Winslet isn't allowed into so she doesn't think it's "her territory") Winslet nipped and chased him, but i squirted her in the face with a squirt bottle when she did that - it's OK to let Izzy know that she is in charge, but not to be mean about it. I have to watch them together to make sure they don't fight too much and that no one gets hurt.
Afterwards, they each got a treat and some time on their own, and I will be sure to pet both of them a lot to let them know I still love them
