1. "AHHH THAT FEELS NICE -.- "
2. This is Shiloh, he is my horse's son. BUt they sold my horse because I couldn't come up enough to ride him. This horse is such a sweetheart, I pet him through the fence for an hour, he would put his face up to the fence for me to scratch, then his nose, then his butt, then his face, then his front leg, then his butt again and he would rub it as I would scratch it. It was adorable. Love this horse so much.
3. My cousin Daine and Shiloh.
4. Doc, Lady, and Lexus. (Doc is the stud but he got clipped
, and Lady is his woman, and Lexus is their daughter)
5. Bucking bulls, Sue and Jr.
6. GOATS! MAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Just caught up with the last video....it´s always weird listening to ourselves as we never sound how we think we sound. I totally understand THAT voice, I do it with mine all the time haha.
Date wasn´t that bad, look like my two do, that nippy behaviour , don´t know if Buster´s showing her who´s boss although all she wants him to do is groom her and he´s not having any of it. I do think he will in the end but it´s just the waiting for it to happen.
Loved the music...I love the bachata, reminded me of my dance classes and all that Spanish made me feel quite at home.

Ok this one is über long so I will put the times of the key points if you don't have 18 minutes lol.
8:20
14:56
15:40
17:17 - cause he starts checking out her ears then proceeds to either nipping or pushing her side
I laid down some large cardboard pieces in their pens, mostly for Phoebe cause she's so slippery. I think they like it. Buster just wants to eat it lol.
Oh and Phoebe ate celery today! :0 then some romaine lettuce like she likes, now to wait to see if the celery upsets her at all. Also, after she was done eating she went over to the water bottle and started drinking and I thought of something sneaky! I put my finger on the bottom part of it to feel her tongue, it worked! It is so cool. More like a dog tongue than a cat tongue kinda?

I am crazy enough to watch the full 18 minutes, but I am at work, so I am slowly doing it.. The first thing I want to say right off the bat is.. It looks like Phoebe is getting more brave, moving around the pen a little bit more! That's a good sign, I think? They're both just SO cute.
Buster is going to start to think of Phoebe as a treat dispenser. He took the treat off her head, and just kept looking for more. And I loved the close up of his whiskers and face.
Buster is just determined not to give in, isn't he? But yet he doesn't present himself to her for grooming, so I don't know if that means that he is just holding out for now, or what.
I don't quite understand the reasoning on doing dates in a small area. I know that people say that giving them too much room can cause more territorial issues, but my experience with letting my rabbits out together to play has been that the more space there is to run around and explore, the less confrontational issues there are, and they are able to gradually get to know each other, instead of being stuffed into this small space and immediately have to face and confront the other rabbit. Now these aren't bonding dates that I do, just play dates, but when I try to let certain rabbits play in a small space together, there seems to be more nipping, humping, and confrontation. So, just based on my experience, I feel that larger spaces seem to work out better. Especially outside. There'slots of distractions and lots of space, and it gives them time to slowly get used to each other without being forced into a immediate confrontation.

Thanks Danielle! Yeah she is, and she is so patient.
Jenny, you have a very good point. I could get all my xpens, string them together to make a big area and let em go? I would just let them out but I would be scared that they'd find some kind of way to get out. Though, any time I let them go outside, they stay right next to the crate. My neighbors also have dogs and if they got too close to the fence, the dumb dogs would bark. This weekend its supposed to get down to the 60s, it would be a nice time to go outside. It's reeeally hot today and very sunshiney! And I don't know if the buns would be too hot in the shade or not. Wonder what the more comfortable temperature would be for them?
Well I am going to have another date tonight, possibly in the same room and try it without the xpen!

I put Ellie outside in the shade when its in the 70's, she seems to do pretty well. She doesn't look like she's over heated, she isn't flopping down or anything. I just make sure to refresh her water several times while she's out there. When I put her out though, she goes out from like 2 until 8 when it gets dark. Your buns won't be out for that long though.
Are you going to put them in natural shade or tarp cover shade? I would prefer natural shade over tarp shade, because tarps tend to trap some heat under them. I know my chicken coop under the tarp is always much warmer than in the natural shade, its weird.
I hope tonight's date went well!

LOL Morgan! I was replying on your blog while you were replying on mine hehe.
I have no trees in the backyard but I have a shed and after around 3 or 4 the shed provides shade. We have a lot of owls and hawks so I have to stay outside for as long as they're out there, once my friend had a rabbit and a owl swooped down and took it off :|
Yes I think it went pretty nice! I let them have most of the room and since it was carpet.......There were lots of poporns and binkies!!!! It was long though so I will put the highlights check tomorrow afternoon and the video should be up

Their date looks like it went well. They were still interacting with each other even though they were doing lots of exploring and ignoring.
It looks like they're getting more comfortable with each other though! They're binkying and stuff around, so that has to be a good thing!
I think Buster's nipping is his way or telling her move or hey or something. He's not like attacking her or anything. Do rabbits use nipping as communication?
I think they're looking pretty good.
Bahahaha. I had to laugh when you were talking to the pandora ad. I hate those ads! Is your pandora on shuffle? I never do that with mine, but I really should. haha. Sometimes I think mine has a mind of its own, like if I don't listen for a few days it goes ad crazy and like every two songs there is an ad. It makes me nuts! haha.
Anyway, to me, their date looked good!
Oh and I like your big Texas A&M sign, its pretty cool!

! think that went really well! I liked it a lot better than the smaller space. They were a lot happier and it was less confrontational. You could especially tell Phoebe was much happier binkying away, and even Buster relaxed. He even managed to smell her head a few times without nipping. And honestly, his little nipping really isn't that bad, but that's mostly because Phoebe seems pretty laid back about it and doesn't seem to mind too much and doesn't react to it. If it did bug her, then there would probably be a problem. Even if the nipping doesn't completely go away, they can still bond. I have a bonded pair where the female is nippy and grumpy, but my male bun is very relaxed and laid back, and just puts up with it, and will just hop away from her. And yet even with my female being nippy to my male bun, I still feel he is the dominant bun, cause if he gets sick of her nipping, he'll box her a little, and she'll get scared and run away. So if Phoebe doesn't get bugged by Busters nipping, it should work out with them ok, just cause of her laid back personality.
You may want to include a 'neutral' litter box next time, just to avoid any accidents, as their dates are getting longer. But use something for the litter box, that doesn't have either of their scents on it, so no one claims it as theirs.
