Day 4 - 11.30pm
There was a huge session of mutual grooming going on. Selene had a "grooming salon" set up and was grooming Athena and Meadow, before moving onto Neo. Neo and Selene then had a very long mutual grooming session, each one grooming the other's neck. Meadow moved onto Athena after Athena did a big dead bunny flop. Whenever I've bonded Athena, regardless of how stressful the situation has been to outsiders, she's always been like this, dead bunny flopping all over the place. Such a show-off. It was lovely seeing Meadow and Selene giving her so much love. Honestly, the girls are having very very little issues with one another. Who said does were hard to bond?!
At the same time, River gave Mus a good long groom. I'd hoped that this would prove to be the end of his throwing his weight around and would cause them to calm down, finally. During this time, Helios was eating (like a good rex does), while Persephone and Morpheus napped. It's also occurred to me that I think, at some point or another, I've seen virtually everyone throw a dead bunny flop, the newest guys included.
Day 5 - 8.20am
I am exhausted. I think I've only had about 4 hours sleep. Erasmus decided it was high time to start on everyone again. I'm beginning to wonder if they have "bonded" but he has a serious case of Spring Fever, or if he still doesn't realise he's Chief Rabbit. Giving them a pile of dried veg from my dehydrator has calmed them for now, but goodness knows if it'll last.
Right now, Mus and Persephone are eating. Morpheus is grooming his Persephone. River, Neo and Athena are in various states of loaf/flop/sleep. Meadow is giving Selene some love, and Helios was grooming Selene, Meadow, and himself too.
