Well yesterday i finally plucked up the courage to try Digby & Angel together, they`re brother and sister but have lived seperately since they were about 12wks old, though they have always been kept in hutches next to each other and likewise when being out in their runs as i`ve always planned to bond them once neutered. But i was still apprehensive, like i am with any bonding attempt that things might go wrong, but it was instant, like long lost friends being reunited!
For the first few minutes they ignored each other, then Angel decided to hop over and introduce herself to Digby, otherwise known as the walking fluffball!
A quick sniff, a few thumps from Angel and the next thing i knew they were snuggled up under mum`s kitchen table grooming each other! It was soooooooooo beautiful to watch, Digby just laid there stretched flat out whilst Angel washed him from head to toe! They quite happily travelled to our new house, sat side by side in the car footwell, (well you try finding a carrier big enough for 2 adult frenchies)! :shock: :lol:
On arrival we carried them to their new abode, a shiny brand new shed and straight away they were off side by side investigating their new joint quite happily. Must admit though Pandora, who currently resides in a hutch on the shelf in the shed looked abit miffed at these 2 bl**dy great lop eared things taking over her private residence! :roll: :lol:
Heres some photos of the happy couple in their new abode...................
Shed before their arrival. I know it still looks abit bare, due to me being ill i haven`t had time to get it finished but i plan to put shelves in for them to jump on and the cat basket is only temporary until hubby`s built a proper snuggle compartment for them, though at the mo they seem to have taken to the hay filled dog bed for snuggling up in.
Checking out the new joint.
The first supper.
1st supper continued, definately no rivallry over food.
Overnight i think they must have had a bit of a house warming party as tis is the sight that greeted me this morning..................................
And here they are having a good grooming session.
They`ve spent most of the day binkying round the garden and are now safely tucked up for the night, (not having anymore parties i hope! :roll:
A very happy Su, Angel & Digby.xxxx
