OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

I am beginning to think the buns are obsessed with grooming. Nearly everytime I look at them they are grooming themselves or each other. I don’t remember Cotton grooming that much b4 he got his friend.
Is this normal? Their skin appears to be a normal pink color. Their ears appear fine as do their eyes and mouth.
Maybe they are grooming more cause they have a friend to show affection to?

It’s a way for them to bond, show affection and just hang out.Here are a few interesting tidbits from Language of Lagomorphs & the HRS on grooming/hierarchy:
