Thanks again everyone!
I'm definetly feeling hopeful but I can't say that I'm confident yet. From what I know, bonding can be a series of ups and downs.
Agnes's new free run area is back up in the playroom 2 floors above Archie.
I'm trying to figure out logistics with all of that yet. Don't want either bun to see the other one getting too much attention or free run (so as not to cause resentment) and at the same time trying to get Agnes used to the idea of a new man in her space.
I let her out briefly around Archies cage and they basically kissed through the cage bars. No complete grooming but sniffing and some licks here and there but STILL no aggressiveness or fighting. Yay!
I dunno, this is my first go at this but for a first date and first day at home things are going really well. My plan is to take things UBER slow.
As far as Archie? Omg...he is lover! It doesn't seem possible that I could get this lucky again with a bun but gosh he is sweet! He comes right up to me, loves getting his head rubbed. I've picked him up several times (not at home today but over the past 3 meetings) and he doesnt complain there. He just seems really sweet.
I'm so excited and happy for the days to come. I'm sure I'll be on here in the near future about a setback or something, but as of now I'm just feeling really good about everything.
Yay!
