         Day 2 of bonding:

         

        Lydia and Phil had a small fight this morning because Phil wanted to run around and Lydia wanted to lay down and relax.  She got irritated and tried to bite poor Phil.

        Later in the afternoon they ignored each other and with a little help from me, laid next to each other tensely.  No fighting :]

        They just had another session in the bath tub and Lydia went after Phil for a second but then calmed down and lowered her head next to Phil’s.

        I think they will get along just fine

              it sounds like lydia is the dominant bunn, and phil-lop is the submissive one… it sounds like a fairly easy bond.. lucky you

                oh yeah i’m so lucky. I’ve read almost all the stories on here an was almost too scared to get a new bun but its been okay. I’m still a little tense because I know sometimes a step back comes before we go any further forward but i’m hoping we stick to the right path.

                Phil is the submissive one which is kinda funny. He’s a little longer and bigger than Lydia but Lydia knows this was her house first and shows Phil whos boss.

                  well the males are more likely to be submissive and thats why bonding females is so hard, because they are very dominant. males can be dominant to, anybunny can but its less likely

                    Oh I had no idea! I just assumed the male would be more dominant because Lydia is kinda relaxed and shy usually. She’s definitely the boss now though!

                        Thanks we’ve still got a ways to go but it looks like it should be a rather easy bond. (crosses fingers)

                        Tarm: your two bunnies are soo cute! Trouble is BIG
