Rachel Susy and Cookie
Warren Scout
Well, I haven't been on here much in a while, but for anyone who remembers me, I'm here in PA in the USA with a 2 year old female mini rex and a just 5 months male black Dutch. Yesterday, Puzzle, the male, jumped the four foot fence seperating him from Cookie, the female, when my daughter was in Cookie's run sweeping poos. I think he was trying to keep her away from 'his woman' and felt she was intruding on his 'desired one' and just was trying to 'defend his turf'.
When my daughter was cleaning Puzzle's run first, she must have moved a hiding place shoe box too close to the fence and forgotten to move it back and it was just enough added height to let him make it over!
Anyway--no harm done. She was right there to grab him before Cookie could be gotten to, and we closed off their runs except to let them out one at a time and are keeping them in 4 foot dog crates with 3 levels for lots of jumping around fun and exercise.
Tomorrow he goes in to the vets for his deplumming!! It will be so nice to finally bond Puzzle and Cookie, who already love each other from either side of the double fencing.
If all goes well, they will finally be housemates after the required 6-8 weeks wait for his hormones to subside.
It will so good to have him hopefully go back to being a nicely litter trained bunny. He has been so messy lately!
Anyone have any good advice?
