  Update time…well, we are still not fully bonded. http://www.rabbitsonline.net/images/emoticons/sad.gif” />They can’t seem to figure out if they like eachother or not! I reckon they do. They are just sooo much alike. It is getting better. They aren’t trying to kill eachother (which really only happened 2 or 3 times).
  
  They spend at least 1 hr out together with it ranging to about 6-7 hrs. Next week I am off from work and school so we will be having a bonding marathon! I will definitely say that Thumper is the more difficult of the two…Boy is he a cheeky little thing! She is just sooo precious with a little bit attitude…
  
  Here are some recent pics!

  Hope you enjoyed!

  Too cute! It does sound like you are making progress on the bonding too. I think it takes more out of us than it does out of them.

  Good news that they seem to be at least progressing. Some bunnies really just take a bit more time to settle thing out. The bonding marathon sounds great. Just be sure to give them a break from each other IF they start to get tense after spending too much time. The marathon can work wonders for many pairs, but some pairs may need some separation time. We all need our “me” time.
  
  keep us updated.

  Thats so great that there has been some grooming!! It looks like they are well on their way to being good buddies. I agree with loisme – that litterbox pic is hysterical! Its also a good sign though, because if they weren’t feeling friendly towards each other, I feel like that situation would have turned into a fight instead of a funny pic

  Thx guys! I am soooo HAPPY! I am almost officially on vacation! 44 more minutes then 11 days of spending quality time w/my boys and bunnies! They do move away from eachother, and have plenty of space to seperate, if they want to be “alone” and I am always there with them. Thing is, it doesn’t last very long. Yesterday was the first day that they were laid out near eachother so I am taking that as a good sign.
  
  They actually stayed in the litterbox together for quite a bit that day. Since then, I have changed it out and put a bigger one in its place…they haven’t shared again though. As for Thumper (the ND) he is ALWAYS in a dissapproving mood. LOL
