I’m not doing any actual bonding yet because she isn’t spayed, but that will be done soon! Minnesota SNAP is this amazing program for low income families, which we actually qualify for because both the hubby and I get medical assistance through the state, since my employer wants way too much for their insurance. So spaying her is only going to cost us $50 which is so much better than the $250 our vet wants! And I feel safe with the vet staff, I’m pretty sure they spay/neuter all the rabbits from the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Society which is a huge rabbit only rescue here. So we wont start actual bonding sessions for another month and a half, her appointment is in 2 weeks and that leaves a good 4 weeks for recovery before we do anything. But right now I figured what’s the harm in them being around each other just to get used to everyone?

I love multiple buns too! We had talked about getting a girl for them before Groucho got sick, then when he did that was obviously off the table. But since he’s better now we both figured why not! And yes TL, your trio is amazing! I’m still in love with the tan look, they’re so gorgeous and unique!

Izzy was doing more binkies last night, her new condo is now 6 cubes long and the level is twice as big with a built in ramp. She’s figured out she can slide down the ramp too if she sits just right and I caught her doing nothing but that for a little bit last night too. Groucho and Zeppo spent a few hours out there yesterday with her all sprawled out beside the cage, grooming each, and she was cleaning her face on the other side of the cubes right next to them. Lots of sniffing and nose bumps. When Izzy started doing binkines so did the boys!

She’s being super destructive though! She has lots of toys, including several of the willow ones from the BB store that I had extras of. This morning though when I woke up and went to check on her, her litter box is half empty the contents of which were strewn about in a 2 foot radius around it. Most of her blankets looked like they had been pushed and nudged around and hardly any of them were in their original spots. The phone book didn’t survive through the night either and I can’t find her willow ball (the large one) so I think she finished that off too!

I know she’ll settle down though after we get her fixed so I’m just patiently waiting my two weeks until I take her in.

Thanks Tan.

I will be making a thread. Yours has been fun to read, I’ve just been too busy to really post much. And it sounds like I’m going to be busy again… Izzy is digging in her litter box some more and Groucho just came running in the bedroom. I bet she nailed him with some of the litter, lol. I so can’t wait till she’s spayed!

So… I had an idea, but I’m not sure if it would be a good one or not. Izzy seems attention starved, not sure if she didn’t get enough at the rescue or if she’s been neglected or what not. But right now her cage set up is in the living room, and we don’t spend a whole lot of time in there since computer and everything is in the bedroom. So I had been thinking about moving her condo into the bedroom. The problem here in lies that the boys are free roam, and the bedroom is where they hang out 90% of the time. Would moving her cage into the bedroom cause too many territory issues like I’m afraid it will? They’re getting along fine through the nic cubes, and it’s not like we’d let her out in the bedroom to run around.

It was just a though because I work so much and when I come home the usual routine is giving everyone attention and love and then onto the computer for various things. The living room really isn’t used all that much. And that may sound weird but the bedroom is bigger than our living room… Any thoughts though would be helpful. I wanted opinions before I actually did this.

Tan – The boys already have full access to the living room where she’s at and I put a litter box for them outside of her cage next to hers and I’ve actually already been mixing their litter hoping it would help with her litter box habits ( which btw she is completely lacking it!). I’m sure hers will change when she gets fixed, crossing fingers on that one. The only aggressive part I really have to worry about is the fact that Zeppo almost seems possessive of her, but that’s only when I’m around!

It’s awesome that your bonding is going so well! I really need to go read your thread and catch up on it!

Thank you, LPT! I need to upload more pictures of her.
