Jen and Harley update

Jen and Harley spent their first night as newly weds in Jen's hutch :D Jen didn't seem to recognise it as hers, so the vinegar must have done the trick!

Harley went into a bit of humping and circling overdrive, but they settled within a few hours and started lying next to each other. I gave them some space but checked on them at about 10.30pm and Jen was grooming Harley's ears and face :love:

This morning they shared some veggies without any disagreements, so I think they are going to be fine now!

I just have one question - Harley is proving himself to be a bit of a thumper :lol: I don't think it's fear - I think he uses it to show his disapproval when he can't find Jen straight away. Will he eventually settle down or is there something I can do to minimise the noise? I could hear him in the front bedroom, but I was sleeping lightly so I don't think it'll bother the neighbours (yet :lol: )

I'll get some pictures tonight :D
 
Thats brilliant glad they are happy together. Could the thumping be because he is in a new place with a new lady so it's all a bit strange?
 
I think so... Jen usually thumps when she's a bit put out with me (I don't wanna be back in my hutch! THUMP!) so I wasn't sue if it was something similar with Harley or not. When I checked on them during the night he seemed to be doing it when he wanted her to groom him / be humped and she ran away (Come back here luv! THUMP! :lol: ) He seems calmer this morning though.

If it carries on we have a roll of carpet that I could cut down and line the hutch floor with, try and muffle the sound a bit... :D
 
He sounds abit like my o/h, stamping his feet if he doesn't get any attention.

I bet he'll calm down when he feels more settled :D
 
He's not been a thumper in the months he's been with us but he and Jen had a right go at it from Sunday when they went into the hutch. I think its just that everything has changed a bit and, he communicates through sound as he cant see what he is doing, he is probably trying to get Jens attention when she wonders off. I expect him to settles, as I said its not something he has done before. :D
