Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while – between Honey and work, I haven’t had much time to look at the forums. Things have been going awesome with honey and my boyfriend and me – She jumps around our feet when we come in to feed her. She cuddles up with us, and doesn’t even freak out at all if we pick her up! It’s awesome. Next paycheck we’re taking her to get spayed. Which brings me to the next part of my news-

We got a new bunny! Hehe.. I couldn’t help myself. We went to the pet store to get food for his snake, and I saw this adoreable white bunny. I went over to Jeff and was like, "I have to have her." She ran up to the cage door the second I was near her, and was leaning on it, just waiting for me to pet her. We really quick ran home and got Honey in her travel cage and brought her up to the pet store. We got them both out,a nd were holding them, and they seemed to do really well – by that I mean they at least didn’t try to kill each other. So we bought her and brought them both home – Jeff named her Ginger, cute huh?

Anyway, once we got them home, we set them both down on the floor in the kitchen, which was my mistake – that’s where Honey stays. We just needed them out of the way while we got Ginger’s space ready in the living room. Needless to say, Honey was less than impressed with Ginger being there, and lunged at her, chasing her around the kitchen. I picked up the little one and we herded Honey into her cage until we could move Ginger to her home.

Now Im just worried, with this bad encounter, how we should go about beginning to bond the two. Jeff was checking on Ginger and it looked like whoever brought her to the pet store had not taken care of her properly, she had a lot of stuff dried underneath her. We’re cleaning her off in intervals – as long as she can stand being still for us to do it – And there’s a little patch of fur that seems to be missing where some stuff had dried on. We’re hoping that nothing else has gone wrong for the little sweetie, but can’t really be sure til we can get her in to a vet. Which brings me to my next question – apart from the checkups they both need, we’re getting Honey spayed next check, but should we be doing the same for Ginger so soon? Or should we wait and let her get more used to things, and see if she can grow some of that fur back first?

And should we be thinking of trying bonding before all this happens, or should they just be kept apart for a few months til everything settles down? I was so excited that Honey would have a friend for the hours of the day when we’re both at work. I just don’t want anything to go wrong!
