It’s been a month since the boys were neutered and bonding session 1 is on Sunday (thank God)! They’ve taken well to the pre-bonding, and are still deciding who gets the beloved pee spot xD I think they know it’s happening soon, as now they leave each other’s sides maybe once every hour for a quick 5 minute hop around, then they go back to flopping against the cages together. I think Bombur is going to end up being the dominant one. He constantly is nuzzling his head through the bars and lowering it for grooms. Sometimes Asriel complies and will groom, and other times he turns his bum up to Bombur. It’s both a little sad to see Bombur looking for grooms and getting denied, but it’s also comical because Asriel just shakes his bum and hops away. 

Problem with our current space. We have the entire upstairs of a single family home. The upstairs is being renovated, except for our room that we share with the bunnies. The bathroom is off limits as there are lots of chemicals out because there’s no closet space. The downstairs is off limits due to 3 (very loud) pugs. Can we try bonding in the room that they already share? If we absolutely have to, we can set up our x-pen in the living room and try to keep the dogs in the laundry room, but if it goes well I don’t want to have to keep the dogs penned up in a small space for so long. Any suggestions?
