Well, as most of you will know Kitt and Hollie just wont bond... Hollie lunges at him and he is petrified.
Well this morning Kitt ran in to the kitchen where Saffy and Jamie are (brought them in at 3 this morning because of the awful weather).. I didn't see him at first but when I noticed Jamie was sniffing Kitt and, it looked like, he was grooming him. Kitt took this for a while then ran behind the broom. I was about to pick him up when Sapphire went over to him... sniffed him.. then walked off and carried on eating. When Sapphire noticed Jamie going over to Kitt again she started grunting - which started Jamie off... which got Kitt scared again, so I decided to take Kitt back up to his room.
I was a bit worried I'd ruined Jamie and Saffy's bond because they were circling, briefly, afterwards.. but before I came to work I made sure they were alright.
So now I'm faced with a dilemma... do I, when it gets warmer, bond Kitt in with Sapphire and Jamie? Or do I try Hollie and Kitt again? Kitt didn't seem half as scared of J and S as he does Hollie. I really don't want to ruin Jamie and Sapphires bond because they are made for each other. I also don't fancy Hollie being the only house rabbit - she is currently living in a 5ft x 3.5ft dog crate and is let out morning and night, she has become really territorial over her dog crate and when you go to feed her she will lunge at you... I don't want this to happen throughout the house as she also seems to want to mark her territory and thump at us if she doesn't like where we are.
Can anyone offer any advice please? xx
