Well, as some of you know, "my" Skittles wasn't my first choice. There was another bun I was going to get, but someone had bought him by the time I got everything together (cage, food, bunny-proofing, etc). I'm glad to have Skittles, and I wouldn't trade her for another bun ever. One thing that sort of made me sad, though, was that the first bun was a licker, and Skittles isn't.
Well, the past few days, Skittles and I have been getting really close. I've taken up lying on the floor to watch TV and read, and Skittles will come, hop all over and around me, and beg for pets. We've had long petting sessions (maybe 40 minutes out of an hour today!), and Skittles will jump on my tum or chest and lick my clothes. I was truly happy when she started doing this because it meant she's starting to really trust and like me. Well, today she was hopping around (her out-of-cage time is up to 4-6 hours per day now, sonce she's proven how well she can use her litterbox!), and lo-and-behold, she licked me, not just my toes! That really made me happy. Just thought I'd share that with you guys.
