Activity

Colouration of the eye could be normal, but I’d recommend photographing the white areas once a month or so to compare to previous months. Luna had a similar white spot on her eye when I adopted her, it stayed the same for years until she came down with an active E. Cuniculi infection and then it grew. In Luna’s case it was evidence of previous…[Read more]

Thank you! You have really helped nerves this time around. Today they did 8 hours in the bathroom no issues still so I moved to new neutral area in her house that’s bigger in two attached pens. They were in there for an hour and half and did great. So starting tomorrow on I will do several long 8 plus hour days in there to make sure they are g…[Read more]

Ugh, that’s so stressful, I’m sorry 🙁 . And those pictures are so precious, it must be so frustrating to see them cuddle like that but then have it devolve into scuffling.

I hope the car ride helps, or maybe someone from the rescue can work with them for you to see if they can work some magic. That said, it would be completely understandable to…[Read more]

Everything sounds like it’s going really well! That’s a great sign that the binkies and zoomies aren’t causing issues.

To answer your questions about hides, etc,  yes you can use anything they’ve had with them in the bonding sessions in their final home. Brand new is fine too. As for stuff they’ve used before, I like to gradually add things back…[Read more]

So, it’s really up to you! You could bond the two singles first, but sometimes in the quad process the pairs might split up, so some people would say to just focus on the group.

I think if it were up to me, I’d like to see which combos would be likely to give me the most trouble. Supervising a date with multiples can be tricky if multiple buns…[Read more]

That sounds really great! I often use the petting trick in early dates to help build some good happy feelings, so don’t worry about that at all!

I agree with LBJ10, I wouldn’t worry about it at all. I think it’s best to avoid strong fragrances as those could be irritating to a bun. I currently use All free and Clear, in the past I used a Costco-brand “natural” one. I’m sure the tide free and clear is fine. I do add vinegar to all of my wash as well as I think it helps things get cleaner.

Ugh Now I’m just venting. Got them back in the closet this afternoon hoping they could just sleep a bit together and keep growing their connection, but Pancake starting off more mounty than ever, Snoopy bit her cheek pulling (thankfully) just a small amount of fur. She was upset but did not stop her from trying more later. They finally settled…[Read more]

I don’t think dye and fragrance free detergent is harmful. You could rinse twice on the laundry cycle too, just to make sure it’s all gone. But personally, I wouldn’t worry about it.

Update on my boys. Today is day 7 of bonding in this large bathroom.  We are up to 8 hours together.  Both grooming and snuggling each other.  Not as much chasing going on.  Really not any aggressive behaviors.   Binking and crazies don’t seem to set either of them off. I plan to move them to another neutral area tomorrow but in a pen that will a…[Read more]

Attempting to show some pictures 🙂

Sounds great to me! I think erring on the side of more interaction with them and making them feel safe and happy is good at first. Anytime there isn’t aggression is positive in my book 🙂

That sounds like a very good sign! Both the ignoring and that they put their heads together so you could pet them. I dont think you messed anything up at all.
