Santa
Wise Old Thumper
Seems to be going well
I broke all the bonding rules on this one - it was clear from early on that they liked each other and weren't territorial/aggressive at all, the only problem was that Bertram has been VERY humpy because he is so pleased to have a pal. So while its not normally something i would recommend doing, I moved them into an outdoor run with places for Heather to hide or sit where he can't hump her - and it seems to be working a treat I've been sleeping downstairs by the open patio doors so I can intervene if there is need - but I haven't had to intervene at all since I put them outside Thursday morning
All being well they will stay where they are on the patio for another week or so while I rebuild the accommodation which Heather and Harry shared, it was 5 years old and getting a bit tired so I have bought a new 6x3x3 happyhutch to replace the old playhouse, so they will hopefully move into that and it's run when I've finished preparing it in a week or two
Anyway, pics:
Little kiss - he can't hump her up here :lol:
Quite relaxed around each other
Sharing a romantic hay dinner for two
