Bonder disaster

Thank you :) I think it’s fascinating that herbs can do such good.

Aww I’m so glad you think so!
I caught them doing this earlier too which melted my heart. I just hope I can bring Luther back round to loving me again one day, he won’t come near me anymore. But I’m trying not to let it get to me because it’s more important he solidifies his love with Truffle first :)

We are going to expand the “outdoor” space by one pen panel on Sat as long as they are nice to each other still

They look adorable together!! So glad it's going well!! We too have had a few lunges and nips but nothing serious touch wood. Tonight day 7 we are all sat on the bathroom floor nibbling hay and exploring as it's a new area they haven't been in. No more cleaning from Milo yet they tend to ignore each other but bailey still cleans the newbie
 
Well today was the day we decided it was time to extend the “outdoor” space this morning. I did it when it was their breakfast time so scattered pellets would be a bit of a distraction, but they have been perfectly fine so far!

The only ‘issue’ we need to sort out is to get a bit of old carpet to replace the paw print blanket you can see, because it’s not heavy enough so when they hop or get excited it just slips away, so we raided the shed for some more off cuts :)
But happy bunnies all round so far <3

Have to say it looks like job well done to me :D They've decided it's far nicer being friends. Importantly Luther has decided that Truffle is quite a good buddy after all :D

Happy bunnies, all of you, indeed!

Love the paw print blanket :love:
 
Perfect!
I think it's safe to say you're out the woods and in no time they'll be hopping around their entire space together.

You've done an absolutely amazing job!

Yes, just goes to show the power of persistence - not giving up and believing in your buns :D

I think we can all take a lesson from you TruffPuff x

Aww thank you!

Haha yes I think they both realised actually the other is ok. I can tell Luther on occasion is dying for Truffle to lick him, so Luther casually smushes his face near Truffle when Truffle is grooming himself lol!

There’s still the odd jealous chase by Truffle when he thinks I’m doing something (even when I’m not), but nothing too horrendous :)

Haha thank you, I have a few in different colours that were donated to me by one of my old dog walking clients, they come in really useful!

Aww thank you that’s so sweet! I don’t think we are a shining example of bonding, but I do like to think as you say, we have given hope to others :) x

Ahh thank you so much, your so kind!
There is the odd Truffle charge at Luther when Truffle thinks I’m going to do something that he has to see first (even if I’m not and just near the run for a short period lol).

We have put more carpet bits down now so it’s less slippy for them when they get excited. I think I have enough room to let the pen out by one more panel, but I’m not sure what to do after that. I could pen off half the kitchen, but that would be a bit of an issue for the cats.....I have taken a picture of the pen now, and how much kitchen is left to see what might be best (please excuse the mess we have been house/dog sitting at a friends house).

How are they with the cats now?

I'd consider putting the pen across so they have their current bit + around the corner where the sink etc is.

If not, you could consider cleaning the spare room again and moving them up there?

They both seem to be happy sniffing the cats through the bars, Luther was very upset when Flash went into the pen and chased him out (before I blockaded the cats from being able to get in. Truffle only seemed annoyed when I fussed the cats near the pen, but I think it’s just miss placed because Truffle wishes he could be out too, so I stopped that now.

The cats are very interested when they hear the bunnies rustling or jumping around and pretend to run over to “attack” but this is only because the rabbits are caged, they have no interest when the bunnies are free.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, if I work it out so they are back in the hutch at animals dinner time the pen can move away a bit so we get the kitchen back. Thank you :)

OMG, omg, omg, omg, omg!!!!

I just caught Truffle grooming Luther’s head and face!!

Had to contain myself to sneak away and do a happy dance!

Does that mean they are nearly 100% friends?
So happy right now <3 <3

How lovely, you must be over the moon. I'd certainly take it as a very positive sign

I really am!

It’s strange that Truffle seems to be the dominant bun though, but he’s the one licking Luther. I thought the boss bun was always the grooming receiver.
Unless Luther still just hasn’t built the confidence yet to lick “the boss”.

But I’m just thrilled I finally witnessed it after my OH saying he’s seen it twice recently but I was too late lol!

So after a week of having the pen stay the same (because my OH was working lates and I needed help to move it), we gave the boys a bit more room today.

So far so good. Just seem quite excited to explore this new area and I even caught a few seconds of a groom on camera :-D
There was a bit of naughtiness last night when I started scattering their dinner, Truffle grunted at and chased Luther. But that lasted all of 2 seconds and Luther came out again and both happily munched together.

Next stage will be a big one because we are running out of pen, so the last panel will have to go over to the left where the bin is, which will give them the whole kitchen area (we have a kitchen diner so it’s not the entire room), so that will be a big day!

You've done incredibly well. The behaviour you described at dinner time is the same I get with the girls. It's just reestablish who is boss and who gets first dibs ;)
