Young Bun
Well I put my little girl and little boy together for the first time this week and so far it's going well.... when I figure out how to put pics up I will.
They are both mini lops. Oscar is 18 months and neutered, Pandora is 8 months old and I haven't had her spayed yet.
They have been living upstairs / downstairs in separate hutches outdoors and having had Oscar neutered 8 weeks ago this was long awaited!!
The first meeting was in the kitchen.... And in hindsight probably not th best place.... Oscar pestered her quite alot, there was lots of humping from him only and he was circling her and pulling her fur. She is not as tame as him, but when alone she does have quite a personality, but I think she was rather 'smothered' by him on this first occasion.
On date number two the next day I placed them in the bath tub as I had seen someone recommend on here.... And what a difference....
Pandoras personality came out much more with this meeting and within 10 minutes she was humping him. They were together for about 30'minutes but after she started foot thumping (she does this an awful lot) he sprayed in the bath, he hasn't sprayed since before he was neutered
) but I wanted to end on a positive note so I left them to it and within a few minutes they were snuggled together and he was grooming her
Tonight was date 3, they were together, again in th bath , for 2 hours! It seems to be going great... They both humped each other a bit, there was a little bit of circling and fur pulling but within 20 minutes they were snuggled again and mutual grooming!! So I decided to introduce a bowl of food... And within a couple of minutes they were happily eating from the same bowl!! They spent the remaining time happily eating and toileting .... Just normal bunny things, cuddling and grooming each other. So it seems to be going well !!
What I would like advice on is what should my next steps be ? They seem to be getting on so well, they travelled back to the hutch in the same carry cage and were snuggled together the whole time. They then took a few minutes in each others hutches and there was no squabbling.
Would love some advice from some of the experts on here as to what to do next.... I don't want to spoil things!! My aim is for them to share a large hutch and run. (I will long term, look to get Pandora spayed ).
Thanks for reading x
