Hi!
so me and the new bun are off to the vets this evening for a once over, once we are sure of the sex we can decide on a name, woohoo!
It seems ok, when it's outside it has a little run around, it likes strokes and is curious with our cats and other rabbits. It has a bit of a dirty bottom, I assume its because it is too fat to clean itself properly, it wasnt too happy about me trying to clean it either! Its eaten lots of hay, but no pellets or veg. Some of its poos have been a bit wet, but its done some nice solid ones too.
Piggy and Moomoo had a bit of a sniff while new bun was in the run and they were roaming free. Piggy (boy) wasnt bothered at all, Moomoo (girl) was having a good old sniff, then a bit of a growl, and then going back to sniff some more and growl some more. She had a bit of a growl at piggy and also our cat too! She seemed to be telling everyone that she didnt want them to make a new friend! She was fine with me and wanted some reassuring nose strokes, and she was fine with everyone once new bun was moved back inside.
I'd like a bit of advice on how to bond the new bun with my pair, once its had the all clear from the vet. I'm interested in your experiences please.
I have time to take it relatively slowly, however the quicker they are bonded, the quicker it can begin to get lots of excercise, rather than just an hour or so a day
Thanks!
