I've had my new adopted rabbits for a week now.
I've given them some people names as well as their bunny names, so they are aka Cassie and Stuart. They don't come when called, so I don't think they'll be too confused by it. All the superstars have stage names.
The cold front came in that I was worried about the bunnies getting wet from. It wasn't that bad, but we did get some rain. Their hutch stayed nice and dry, even downstairs, so that's good to know.
The bunnies got to have a run around in their portable pen. As it had rained and the ground was all wet, I just put it on the patio, but then madam picked it up with her teeth, so I know for the future that it needs to be pinned to the ground or she could very well get out and be on her way.
My dog started barking at them at first, but I told her to stop, sat her down, and that was that. I'd never leave them unsupervised, but as she didn't persist with making a fuss I'm sure they'll all learn to tolerate having each other about which is good. The cats don't seem the slightest bit interested in them, which is also good.
Stuart did some humping of Cassie and then Cassie did some humping of Stuart. It's nice to know they've each got a hobby. I hope it's normal for them to act like that. They seemed to be biting each other on the back when they were doing it, and there were a couple of tufts of fur afterwards.....
They did some really cute washing with their paws, and Cassie licked Stuart's head. He pushed his head up to her and she groomed it for him.
I went to a rabbit show today to ask the people there some questions. Lots of nice bunnies, it would be quite easy to become a "crazy bunny lady" and start getting all different sorts. The rex ones had such lovely soft fur.
I just wish you didn't get so much conflicting information when you are trying to learn things.
