  Great set-up! One thing to watch for is if your bunnies can jump off anything with a flat top near the fence pen edge – so for example off the carriers. Many times this won’t happen unless something is on the other side for them to jump onto. But just keep an eye on that.
  
  Otherwise, great space! I know you were wondering about that in your other post and this new pen set-up looks good!! Plus, this may be better for their bunny friendship since it’s not Moose’s area that he’s invading anymore.

  Colie – did Moose and Dale instant bond? They look to be sharing the space well.

  Thanks everyone!!
  
  BinkyBunny: I did move the carrier against a wall so there will be no jumping! I thought of it right after I took the pictures and Dale hopped right up there and leaned over the edge of the cage.
  
  JerseyGirl: They only had one meeting in which Dale tried to groom and be groomed by Moose and she just ignored him, so we just went for a shared space sort of thing and never looked back. She is not fond of him, but will share food bowls, litter boxes, and sleep near him so I figure its a good sign!

  I bet that they will become better friends as time passes!! Their setup looks great!! They might also like a tube, my buns love running through them and lounging in them. Give them each a nice ear rub for me for being such nice buns and getting along with one another!!

  Wow! I’d call that an instant bond. Not super common but great to hear about them when it happens. Now there’s just Miss Torri….I keep thinking of that pic of her squeezed up along side Dales enclosure! Maybe in time…?

  Dale was actually meant to be Torri’s companion, but now I am kind of thinking maybe we can do a three way bond! Crazier things have happened! I am hoping it might work if Dale asserts dominance with Torri as well the way he did with Moose.
  
  As I was writing this Dale and Moose started grooming each other!
