They're both tucked up in the hutch now :D
A little more chasing, but mostly eating!!! :lol:

[LavenderLamb]

[honeybunny]

It looks good..and Archie is so handsome they'll make a stunning pair:D

Nice to chat to you on the phone Sara!:D

[CottonMather]

All still going well - they're happy to sit together now :D

[oscarbunny]

Well done Faye :D

[March Hare]

This is SUCH fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :D :D

Susie is such a GORGEOUS bun.....she has been pulling at my heartstrings on RR.....and I hope SO much that all continues to go well with the bonding and she has found her Forever Home!!!!! :D :D :D

[Willow_Warren]

Awwww.... Susie... I remember her in the RIN section! I'm glad she's found a loving bun to share her time with.

awww bless

Susie is letting Archie stay close then instead of running away playing hard to get!

Did they bed down together last night and no fur missing today?



Any tips about preparing hutch for the homecoming if all continues well?

I was thinking about cleaning out hutch again as he had slept in it one night to remove all traces of archie as possible. To use the pet safe disinfectant and then put in everything new including litter trays etc.

That all sounds about right! :thumb:

No fur pulled at all!
They are sometimes in the same compartment, although Archie seems to prefer the main bit and Susie likes the bedroom :roll: but there is no chasing or running away going on at all :D
I put my hand in to stroke Susie and Archie stuck his head under my hand too, which was nice cos they had their heads snuggled together while I stoked them both :D

[LavenderLamb]

hi, children were asking how Archie and Susie are today!

I forgot to ask before what food does Susie currently have pellet wise? Are you able to adjust her to the current ones Archie has (I have another sack full) or vice versa - if you tell me what you use so I can find out where to buy.

[CottonMather]

They have been fine today - I even saw a bit of grooming going on! :lol:
Susie was on Allen & Page mixed with Science Selective, but I have been changing her over to the pellets that you use... :D

[LavenderLamb]

DH was asking, children were asking, LOL everyone missing Archie

I think the children have romantic images of some sort of rabbit wedding happening in Nottinghamshire!

yeah - that's about right! Archie has been humping Susie a bit today - does that count!? :lol:
They're getting on really well - they seem like a proper couple now :D
Archie was very helpful while I was cleaning them out today... he made sure I was doing it right! :roll::lol:

Sounds like Archie has skipped the wedding and gone straight on the 'Honeymoon' or maybe that should be 'Honeybunnymoon'. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[LavenderLamb]

How are the bunnies? Hopefully they are still friends.

Are they ready to come here - we have been missing Archie and look forward to seeing them both here!


Travel - do you think they would both fit in the carrier or shall I send Stuart with a cardboard box?

Hiya :wave: they're still getting on really well - I think it'd be best if they travel in a carrier together... I'll check that they both fit in it though! :lol:

[Pringle]

aww perfect:D xx

yes I would keep them in one container for travel - further bonding time and company for the journey!

[LavenderLamb]

hutch all ready spick and span cleaned with petsafe cleaner

some new willow toys and new litter pan, two new water bottles

nothing that Archie will think of as 'his'

fresh hay, a few veggies

the newlyweds des-res is ready for the homecoming!

[LavenderLamb]

they are home in the hutch and recovering from journey

She is a lovely gentle rabbit and was quite happy for me to pick her up and put her into hutch - no attitude!

Susie went straight into a feeding session

Archie is a bit stressed from travel but slowly recovering and has had some cabbage too before going to see what Susie was up to in hutch.

She has had a good sniff and explore.

They are fine :)

thank you so much to Jill and Faye :) :)

[honeybunny]

Love a happy ending.:D
and a huge thank you to Faye from me for taking Susie back in when she was returned ..and for bonding her with her new hubby!:D

[Doncat5]

Thats good news.... I just love a happy ending. :D

[CottonMather]

so pleased that they're settling in well :D
was a pleasure to have Archie for the past week - he is lovely :love:
looking forward to updates and piccies! :lol:

[LavenderLamb]

successful overnight

all food gone including very full hay holder . . . we have watched them and Susie is a competitive eater - Archie has to get in quick otherwise she snaffles everything in sight!

I have finally found a good way to get rabbits up the ladder at night for lock down . . . some veggies and shining my LED dynamo torch - they follow the light!

Pictures coming later
