awww goodnews by the look of the piccies!.
You might find however, that when you moved them somewhere else, ie their hutch/shed that they might kick off again:roll: .
2 of mine did this, but they settled back down again.
I agree with the pet carrier trick, i did this each time, I put the pair in the same carrier and took them out in the car. Then got back home and put them in a neutral place eventually taking them to their shed.
Good Luck!

Thank you everyone =]
Hawys has just taken them both for a walk around the block in their carrier, but before they went Sapphire was laying down and wanting Jamie to come over, but I think he got a bit shy.
She is so beautiful, they make a stunning couple =]

Tho both mine get on really well they now have mutual grooming tho it doesnt happen that often (they just prefer to snuggle up together most the time) but they also both 'ask' to be groomed and the other refuses.
Normally the more dominant is the one who gets groomed (cos they are the 'superior' and want the 'good stuff' :lol: ) but mine seem to be pretty equal in the relationship. It was Charlie who mounted Molly at the start and she's never tried it back, so I think hes more the 'boss' - or at least he likes to think he is :lol:
I also put mine in more than one neutral place when bonding. And I brought Molly into Charlie's area which I believe is easier than bringing a buck into a Doe's.
Once I started bonding they were never again separated. Even if you have them in sight and smell but not in the same bed etc... is good if they are still not completely comfortable with each other.
It sounds like its going well so far tho
Keep up the good work!!!
I hope some of that helps??

I'm confused about that too, I wondered if females just like to groom Millie is definately the boss (of us all if she had her way) but she's always licking Jack.
He does groom her but not as much.
The other day she chased him away from the veg bowl then guarded it so he couldn't get near. :lol:
Spoke to Lou earlier on and I can honestly say that they seem bonded as I told her to try them in the hutch together and then she phoned me to say that Sapphire seemed a bit unsure at first but then Jamie started grooming her and they were both fine .
Well done Lou & Hawys
I have a few that need bonding so how are you fixed:lol: :lol: :lol:
Sapphire is a very lucky girl to have a forever home with you both

Course I have seen the photo's and I can't wait for christmas so I can look after them. She is gorgeous I am not surprised you fell in love with her as soon as you saw her. Just glad she as you and Hawys to spoil her.
Jill and Hilda have no worries about her being in a loving forever home and being spoilt rotten thats for sure.
