My 2 furry stress generators are Flo - the white and grey bunny, and her husbun Bertie. We've had Flo almost 3 years now and she was about 2 when we got her. Despite her appearance, she is and always has been a very feisty and emotional rabbit who has had some deep emotional trauma in her past care. We bonded her just over a year ago with her 3rd husbun here - Bertie who absolutely adores Flo. He was also like Flo, a rescue from Blue Cross. The sort of physically bonded by complete accident after 4 weeks of slow and deliberate introductions each having half our garden. Bertie worked out how to open the small gated area and decided that life was better on the other side. They are house bunnies and I'm currently trying to figure out why Flo is actively eating carpet fires whenever she is on the living room - something she never ever did until about 2 months ago. I've tried covering the carpet with a sacrificial fleece throw but she's eating that, and now I have a large vet bed square on the carpet area and she's eating the fires from that. I wouldn't swap them for the world but they stress me out big time.

As promised, here are the pics of Fudgie and Scipio. Plus their playroom. Fudgie is the brown and white bun and she's a sprightly 10 years old. Scipio is the slightly larger black and white bun and he is around 2 and a half years old.

Have you trained your two gorgeous bunnies to clean up after themselves? Do they both have a bunny hoover? That is the most amazing set up and immaculate. They are gorgeous bunnies.

ShuShu and QiQi wants to join in.
They are both 8 months old. ShuShu will be 9 months on boxing day.
They are from different parents. ShuShu is the smallest, but the oldest. QiQi is larger than your usual Netherlsnd Dwarf size.
ShuShu is the most confident and inquisitive and can be territorial with 'her' belongings, like blankets and spaces. QiQi is very shy, but very happy and excitable. She can get spooked very easy, but can be reassured by ShuShu.
They were 3 months old when they came to their forever home.
Photo - first steps. When first got them home. Left them in their opened pet carrier first to explore. ShuShu was most inquisitive (same now) QiQi followed her move.
Photo - Making themselves at home. Very settled, still in an enclosed pen.
Late July, as they matured, showed next stages in bunny behaviour and eventually in early August started fighting, so vet said to separate them. I made 2 temporary pens joined together so to try to keep the Bond, so still able to be close together.
In September, at 5 months old, they were both neutered, one at a time so I could focus on their care. ShuShu first due was oldest then QiQi 2 weeks later. Lots of care required, with each having some complications.
They were rebonded in October.
Photo - they are now bonded like glue (so far so good) they are now free roaming buns, with just an open pen now to sleep and hide in (their space).
Still having to review things, but all good.
They are my angels ❤❤

Thank you everyone one for your lovely comments on my bunnies and their playroom. I have to admit that the photos were carefully staged: I'd hoovered beforehand and carefully cropped out the ripped wallpaper, gnawed skirting boards and nibbled rug edges!
I actually spend a lot of time in their room during the week. It's not in the pics but I have a desk in there by the window where I work. They normally keep me company until mid afternoon when they go to my bedroom for their big snooze. I do like the fact they use rooms for their intended purposes!
Oh, in case anyone's wondering, Santa will be visiting them at Christmas to add to their existing mountain of toys! Not spoilt at all....

ha ha - off to your bedroom for a snooze. You actually inspired me, was having sort in my study / spare room & decided to devote half the room to bunny toys & activities. nothing grand but in their main room I keep only one toy out at a time so boo's trip hazards are minimal (she doesn't go in there)

I took some pictures!
Chibbs, left: she is 'full of personality'. Lionhead cross, about 9, second highest ranking mammal in the household (after me). Has a blocked tear duct on the side shown, otherwise you wouldn't know she was 9. Oh apart from leaning heavily to the right ehen she sleeps these days (nothing apparent).
Barrie, right: rescued from a carpark so unknown age but old (sleeps with his face in the floor), completely bonkers, runs around, will come to any human for food, but on his last legs with a liver full of tumours. He's about 3/4 of his ideal bodyweight now so you can see in the picture his spine 'triangle'.
Enjoying today's forage! Probably the last of it for a while as frost is due.
