So Dule is officially on her way to getting a boyfriend. I’m lucky since the shelter I got her from offers bonding services and will keep her and her new man until they are happy, or try until she finds someone she likes. The first boy I picked to try seemed to be the one! He is a pretty sable who is about a year old, (forgot to take pictures sadly). They stuck them in a pen together to see how they felt about each other, and from what I could tell and the shelter staff said it went well. They laid face to face, and he tried to snuggle her. She stayed an irritated loaf for most of it, though did demand grooming from him when he came close. There was minimal chasing, and only when he tried to sniff her backside and she decided that was absolutely rude. He was actually doing binkies and was flopping down next to her so hard he rolled entirely over. Considering how happy he seemed to be to meet her, and that she tolerated him trying to get close I think it is off to a good start.
It’ll be weird to have her gone, but I am excited to get her some bunny company. I’m excited that she seemed to take to a handsome bun whose coloring looks nice with her (not that it matters, but he is lovely). I’ll update you guys with pictures when I get them. I was wondering, should I do a deep clean of her cage and her rug so it won’t smell like her when they get back?
