youre trying to bond together just wont....and ones you think just tolerate being in the same area together decide to bond themselves with no probs:shock:
admitedly its been twice with a bereved bun..both times bertie was he other bunny.
since salem died..niki broke her foot..my sis in law died then finally having to try and save bif then have her pts...ive had to bring melrin downstairs to live.
we had an agreement...he was in his cage until bertie was asleep in the early evening..then wed open his door and pen off that end of the lounge so merlin could get onto both settees for hugs with us...and be seperate from bertie.
bertie did his usual thing and sleep up against the grids and have the odd scrap through them. then he decided if he slept there at the right time..melrin couldnt come out of his cage:shock:
they were still scraping..had to chase merlin away from bertie who was about to bite him big time as merlin had come face to face loose with bertie.
the other night as i said in the other post..bertie had a terible time and we were moved to tears..he tried to get zuzu kitty to cuddle up with him like her brother used to..but she wouldnt..he kept folowing her trying to get a wash too..she ran off. bertie was sooo dejected it was heartbreaking. he moped and laid down not wanting any contact..
meanwhile merlin was going ape to come out..so i let him out..he cleared the panels so i took em down....and just watched por bertie be too sad to want to have a go at him.
by the time a few hrs had passed we had non scrapping boys..no fur pulling at all.
its progressed to me leaving merlins cage door open with his stuf in it apart from his tray..and its not been slept in..hes been out 24.7 with bertie.
i caught them washing each others heads..then overnight last night..i caught them actuall up against each other asleep
i dont know if its a case of grieving broken hearts keeping each other company for now..or whether its too lonely buns driven by grief have bonded themselves!!!:shock:
anyone else experienced this?
