        So…

        I’ll be cementing my girls this weekend I have been bonding them every day for the last while, been doign all day sessions with them, and they are doign great. They share a litter box, don’t fight over treats, Smudgie gives kisses. I’d cement them now, but I have an appointment Thursday so it will have to wait til the weekend.

        In the mean time, they will be together most of the day, with me hanging out in the living room with them I will post pics of them together tomorrow

          * pokes you with poking stick anyway, just because I haven’t bonded my bunnies yet * lolz….
          That is terrific MB! You work smoothly and silently with bonding, don’t you? ^_^

          Do you think you’ll add Moosie in eventually? Or will he always be a lone bun?
          Huggles for the girl bunnies! ((((((((((Monkey & Smudgie)))))))))))))))

            Moosie doesn’t really like the girls much, so we will likely take him bun dating at a later date so he can pick his own friend. Hopefully a grey or orange lop

            I kept the bonding kind of quiet, as every time i posted a bonding journal they stopped playing nice with each other lol.

                                            omgoodness! Quick!…..The smelling salts!

                                            I know we pleaded for pics but I don’t think I can handle it.

                                            The video… I believe I saw Monkey when she licked her lips. lol She’s so hard to see! (btw, TimTim was Monkey sized last week, he’s prob bigger now). Smudge really is a little bun but she appears big in the vid. She’s got a pretty little face. It’s so pleasing to see the girls together. : ) And Monkey is now onto uncoloured litter also? The mind boggles!

                                            Not forgetting Moose, he is just perfect. <3

                                                Monkey is having to deal with the uncolored litter for now, until they are fully bonded and cemented. Then I can switch down to 1 box and use the pretty stuff again

                                                And yeah, she is so hard to see.. She did stick her tongue out though hehe

                                                  Was funny last night during the girls’ dinner time. Happily eating cilantro, Smudge finishes her piece… reaches over… yanks Monkey’s out of her mouth. Monkey sat there wondering where her cilantro went, then just grabbed some lettuce. lol

                                                          They are together for their cementing now, I’ll be changing to the laptop in a few minutes (yay new laptop ) and I’ll be camping out in the living room with them for the next couple days. They are doing great so far

                                                          And Monkey is still in charge She still humps like crazy, and hasn’t groomed Smudge yet, but Smudge grooms the heck out of Monkey. Smudge is just a ninja when it comes to the noms

Monkey seems to be learning what the hump limit is … slowly. But they still share food, the litterbox, sometimes snuggle. It’s good

                                                                                                          It was mostly uneventful. Monkey humped, Smudge sat there. Monkey humped, Smudge sat there. Smudge hops out of litter box, Monkey chases her, Smudge hops back in litter box, Monkey flops.

                                                                                                          Monkey didn’t like her being out of the litter box during sessions. But they did great in the box. I had to have he litter box in there, as Smudge freaked out without it. She needs something to feel safe in all the time. It took some time for Monkey to let Smudge come out of the potty without chasing her, but it eventually happened. And they would flop and stare at each other. Monkey liked to run over to Smudge, demand grooms, then flop rather abruptly beside Smudge, which usually startled Smudge (she scares easy).

                                                                                                          Smudge is slowly coming to terms with Monkey being an energetic little psycho, so it’s working well

                                                                                                          My hubby caught them snuggling in the little grass hidey house yesterday morning They ususally don’t snuggle much yet, as Smudge is easily startled by Monkey, and she usually scampers off to the litter box when Monkey does something near her. So sudden flops = Smudge in potty.

                                                                                                          I guess it’s still kind of a work in progress, but Smudge is always grooming Monkey’s little ears, which is funny as Monkey’s ears are very ticklish and she can’t stand them being touched for too long. And Monkey did groom Smudge once. That we saw, anyway. Maybe she doe sit more often when we can’t see her do so.

                                                                                                          I took my time doing sessions with them. i didn’t want to stress out poor little Smudge any.

                                                                                                          When their condo is finished (hubby had to go buy more clips today to finish it) we will take pics of the girls in their new house

If he gets near the girls he goes psycho bunny on me. he tries to attack them through the pen bars, so he isn’t allowed near it now. We have another pen that we use to block off the girls pen from him.

                                                                                                                  At some point, we’ll get a boy to bind with him.
