For those who haven't seen my other posts, I've got a trio and 2 singles, Dave and Lucy. I've put Dave and Lucy in separate hutches with access to a large run each on the back of the hutches. I was waiting for Dave to fully recover from his neuter, and for spring fever to end to bond them, so put them next to each other to get used to their smells.
Yesterday, I went to see them in the afternoon, I had friends over all day so was busy in the house. I went to Lucy's hutch - and was greeted by Dave. Momentarily confused (was it the wine, am I mixing up my bunnies now etc etc), then Lucy pops up too!
Wha???
So, both of them have dug under the run into the other, and Dave has gone to visit Lucy!
They both looked ok, no fur flying, no scratches, Lucy looks a bit confused but Dave looking happy.
Wasn't sure what to do, but as I couldn't monitor them, due to aforementioned visitors, I put Dave back, filled the holes and put more slabs down.
I am waiting for the builder to do the permanent hard standing area so for now they're both on rough ground in our garden. Checked them this morning before work, no more tunnels for now, but need more reinforcements methinks!
But looking good for their bond, hopefully this weekend ill start the dates!
Now wouldn't that be easy if they just bonded themselves!
( I do have slabs round the outside of the runs so they can't dig out, but there were none between them by the way)
