Rini is on a distinguished road
Red face Theo's here

He arrived when I was at work and my mam had to sort his cage out. I've borrowed a cage off one of the Pawz girls. It's really small but it will have to do for now until they bond or w/e.


The cages are put close to each other. Rini has spotted him and they seem interested in each other. Rini has been pacing abit, pooping here and there which I suppose it territorial, and she has stamped her foot a couple times. I'm guessing this is to be expected from her.
I havent got the bonding info from them yet so I hope I get it some time tomorrow.

He's so cute, smaller than Rini as he's still a baby. His fur needs a good brush but he comes to you and doesnt mind too much being stroked and I had to pick him up to put him back in his cage when I thought Rini was coming down her condo's stairs.

Hoping things go well in the next few days! Wish us luck!

Re: Theo's here

Yes that is Theo It was too late on to take pics last night and I didnt want to put a camera in his face on the first day lol
This is the "set up" it's a tiny cage but my dog crate wouldn't fit in. Plus this is better as I dont have to lean in to get him out, rearrange his setup etc, so it should be less frightening.



Just had to investigate as I heard a scuffle and someone stamping their foot a couple times.... and thats with just the cages together :/ Rini is a bit confused I think.

This is another image that Pawz gave me of him, he's really cute!

And this is the one from the website!


I was letting him stretch his legs for a couple minutes this morning and when I took the lid off the cage they met nose to nose... which was fine for 5 seconds until Rini battered the bars lol, touching Rini's nose isn't the best thing to do in life :/
He spun round and wanted to get back to her but I guided him out of the cage. I tried to make sure he didnt get next to the cage and let him jump round my bed, but he stamped his foot which was an indication that I was gonna have to put him back in. He was out for a while tho, both of them are marking with their chins a lot, especially rini and there's been a lot of pooping.


Still haven't heard from Vicky about this bonding booklet. They said I should follow it to the letter so I cant start without it. Hope I get it today otherwise I feel a little lost.

Yeah both of them are really interested in each other....
Just had him out again, blocked off rini's cage with some fencing but when he got close she went mad trying to get through the bars and grunting etc.....
I'm really apprehensive about the bonding now.... I've never bonded before and I'm imagining that it will be hard :/

I've asked them if I could get a little help with the first meeting but they are busy with work and their own stuff so I'm doubting they could get time....

Hmmm... wish I had more experienced, I KNOW you can bond rabbits even if they are feisty... wish Rini was a chilled bunny...

Re: Theo's here

It's just normal I guess, they aren't going to like each other straight away. I'm just worried cause I'm a novice :/
