Trying to bond my bunnies and I'm shattered! We moved a run into my bedroom and took Flop (male lionhead cross) and Bramble (Female Nethie) for a walk in round the block in the carrier before putting them in the run. Bramble who is normally THE most placid bun I've ever met has turned into a right stroppy madam! Poor Flop - she kept going for him. If I didn't know what the bunny body language for "I'm about to attack" was I do now! I'm going to have a big bruise on my hand where she tried to bite through two pairs of gardening gloves.:shock:
They had a trip to sit in the empty bath an hour ago and Flop gave in to Bramble shoving her head under his tummy and groomed her a bit. They're back in the run now - there's been no fur pulling since they went back in - just a bit of stomping (from Flop) and a bit of chasing (mainly from Bramble) and they're ignoring each other and eating hay now so I'm classing it as progress! This bonding process is hard work (not to mention a bit scary!).
