Hello!i have started a new topic about my bunnies since the last topic was a question. This is my bonding journal, a place where I share my each day time with my bunnies! i will update about every day each day,
if that makes sense!
my rabbits are making progress, though!
Just to let you know, Buttons Is my fawn Butterfly Dwarf lop, and Lindt is the new baby Dwarf cashmere.
PS. I don’t know how buttons is a dwarf she is so big.

Day 1.
I had Buttons and Lindt out in the garden, so at least they could get away from each other if need be. Buttons went up to see what this ball of fuzz was. Lindt was scared, proberly because of buttons’s size. When Buttons went up to Lindt and found out she was another rabbit, so her first reaction was to claim dominance. So as soon as buttons went into aggressive mode, Lindt ran away. after this buttons always gives me the innocent look. After Buttons got bored at chasing Lindt away and Lindt realised that Buttons wasn’t as friendly to her as she’d like, The both lay down away from each other.
Buttons lying down.Their hutches are about 1.5m apart from each other and the can’t see each other as I did not want to put the Hutches opposite because that would trigger Buttons’s territorial mode.

Today, I decided to get Buttons and LIndt onto the couch on their bunny cushion (because my mum is paranoid about the bunnies peeing on the furniture, she made me put a board of wood and a bunny cushion down because Lindt is not yet fully litter-box trained. I had them on the cushion when Buttons started half-lying down. (the I’m melting! position.) Lindt looked abit lost and when I put Lindt next to her Buttons tryed to nip her but I put my hand on her nose so she couldn’t. Eventually I got them to ‘just snuggling’ and buttons went into sleepy mode, and I stopped patting her and she nibbled Lindt!
I don’t know if that would be considered grooming, but it’s better! we are getting somewhere! I don’t know if the video will work but sorry for the badness of the camera, Its not my good camera!

WOW AMAZING AN UPDATE… sort of…
I was not really squirting squirting but buttons just approaches and then lindt hops away when she gets too close. shes probley scared of being bitten.
not suprised. poor little bunny. anyway. when buttons was having a snooze, lindt would come up, ears forward and head bobbing and all that. and then buttons would here get up, and approach her again. and lindt would run off like, you weren’t supposed to see me! kind of thing. its abit late now, so ill get them out later. as in tomorrow. I will have more time on here now are internets up agian and birdie is off and healthy agian. I’m glad to see lindts more curious and buttons isn’t chasing her away all the time. sometimes, when lindt runs away buttons may get wound up or something because i have seen that she chases her when lindt is already running. we may have a couch session tomorrow. yeah so have a nice day and see you later..
