here's the old blog: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=25588&forum_id=6
So I got Wash in July of 2006 when I moved up to Alaska. I adopted him from a lovely lady named Karan. We got a long a lot better after he got neutered and understood that I was the boss bunny. He's my baby and I knew he was getting lonely so I started the quest for a new rabbit - not only finding one, but convincing my family to allow one. I saw a brown bunny named Stewette at Anchorage Animal Control and she looked so sweet that I wanted to go see her. I used the pretense of dropping off a volunteer form (which I wanted to do anyway). I held her and she cuddled right up to me - she was so sweet. I was trying to convince my Dad when "stewette" disappeared from the animal control website - I was freaked. I called Karan to ask where stewette had gone since Karan is THE bunny person in Anchorage and volunteers at Animal Control. Turns out a friend of Karan's had taken all the bunnies (3) from animal control home with her. I got in contact with her and after getting permissions from my parents adopted stewette. Her name is now Zoey and she was introduced to Wash just today. So I decided to start a new blog of how their bonding process develops.
Pictures from the intro today:
There was a small amount of nipping and humping (all from Wash) which Zoey dealt with her way, ran away from nipping with a foot flick, just layed there and got humped. After that they seemed to get along ok - they either ignored or chased each other (playfully, not malicious). Wash groomed Zoey a tiny bit after I put some banana baby food on her head. The only problems I've had so far is that Zoey's litter pellets from her 'foster home' were made out of hay and are edible, so Zoey tried to eat her litter pellets. Easy fix - I just put some plastic canvas over her litter box. Zoey isn't fully litter trained yet and loves to sleep in her litter box! I'm sure I can figure something out for that. She is also already spayed - which is awesome :biggrin2:so yeah, overall I am uber duber excited right now!
