Have increased their space a bit and all ok :) Timmy is currently all stretched out dozing and she's all snuggled up muttering away to herself (cos she's dozing). They're looking forward to seeing you soon x

Of course! Will let them settle in a bit again!

Got to do some lesson planning now as have been distracted all weekend by cleaning their room out and putting together everything. Oh well, bunnies are more important :lol:

Really can't believe how much Timmy has calmed down, he just wants to lie by her now :D
 
:D yaaay im so glad it has worked out for you..

abi - what do you do in that first few 'difficult' hour - do you just keep seperating? with gloves on :shock: or removing one and putting back in - i need some tips? as i have a feeling my female is going to be the feisty one :? - whats this holding them down? is that so they cant go for the other?

thanks x
 
The first piccie of them....

Sorry about the quality, my camera is rubbish when it's dark and didn't want to disturb them too much with a huge flash!

To be honest, Blossom & Timmy were probably the toughest buns I've ever bonded ... so don't assume that things will go like that with your two! In answer to your question: I had my oven gloves on when I could and was physically separating them as they were locking onto one another. It's hard to explain via words but there is a vast spectrum of nipping/chasing/fur pulling and it's mostly acceptible but Blossom & Timmy took it to the extreme! :shock: It takes experience to really know where the line is between letting them work it out and needing to intervene. After physically separating them I gently covered their face and held them down for a few seconds (tip learnt from Chloe) to try to calm them down a little & remind them that I'm boss! I'm not gonna sugar-coat it though, it was a pretty horrible hour or so :(. But the hard work & very late night has paid off with a happy ending :)
 
Update on the terrible two!

Me & Danielle have had the matress on the living room floor, and there's been no trouble what so ever :)

There's been the occasional crash against the cage, but Blossom really does throw herself down when she flops :lol:

They've both been sharing the hay and litter tray as good as gold! :D

Timmy has tried to mount :roll: her a couple of times and she just pushes him off with her nose :lol: Rejected!! :lol:

I've got the day off today to just sit here like a spud with an eye on them :lol:

Expect my RU post count to double :lol:
 
Timmy is totally besotted!

He's lying down with his head under her bum :lol:

I never thought I'd see the day!

He's always been a right nasty little ****** in the past :lol:

I've sprinkled some Pellets in their pen and gave them both treats of bannana (and a little ginger nut :lol: ) and they are sharing very well, no chasing or nudging or anything.

It's going too well :shock:

*touch wood* :lol:
