SnowFlake & SnowBall

[2snowbunnies]

Our first meeting did not go verywell. I got too excited when I brought home the new baby. Iplopped her down right in front of Flake's cage. She was not thrilledand attacked Ball.

So I immediately separated them.

They have a duplex for now. SnowBall has the 3rd.floor. After they have been bonded, I'll make the 3rd floor a3rd level.

Here is the official first meeting..on nuetral ground w/ supervision.

DH and I sat on the floor w/ crossed legs and each of us held abunn. We pet them and scented up our hands. Then we switchedand did the same thing. The whole time letting them look at each other.

Then we sat with our legs out and feet touching, forming a diamondpen. We placed them on the floor. It went GREAT!!!!!

Here are pics!!!

SnowBall,"I miss my mommy." "Will you be my friend?"

SnowFlake,"It will be Ok baby, Snuggle up to me!"

"Hey Flake! What the Fluff is that?!"
"That's just Angel...She's a cat. She likes me. I'm sure she'll like you too."

Billy checks out the new pair.

Billy whispers in SnowFlake's ear...I have no idea what hesaid. But i think it was complementary. Billy's aflirt:bunnydance:

[maherwoman]

Aww...so happy to see that things went so well!

They're such an adorable pair! I just love how white bunnieshave pink ears and mouths and noses...I love seeing myFlower's. One of the reasons I named her Flower was becauseher huge, rounded ears look like pink flower petals.

What a beautiful pair...I love Flake's foofiness...CUTE!!!

Ball was born on All Hallow's Eve, October 31st. I wanted to name her accordingly, but my girly wouldn't let me.

 

[2snowbunnies]

About 8 weeks old....

Your avatar is just perfect-so cute of those sweethearts.

 

[jordiwes]

They are very cute.

They might bond for now but when Snowball hits her teens (andhormones), I would keep an eye on them. They could start fighting veryquickly. Is Snowflake spayed?

 

[2snowbunnies]

No she's not. neither of them are. I'm saving money to do it. How much is a spay...I'm only familiar w/ cats.

 

[naturestee]

Cuties! :bunnyheart

I have to agree with Jordiwes- be careful and keep a close eye on themuntil after they're both spayed. It's really common for babybuns to get along really well but then fight when they get hormonalduring puberty, siblings or not.

Spay costs really depend on where you are, so it's best to find outfrom the vet. Make sure the vet is experienced with rabbits-you might need to use a different vet than the one that treats yourother animals. Rabbit spays at my vets cost about $120, butI've heard of lower prices and some vets that charge $300. Idon't know how rabbit spay prices compare to cat spays because mykittens were done by the shelter.

 

[2snowbunnies]

I called last night to my reg doctor. They charge $200 each. OUCH!


Hmmm, I need to shop around. $400 is just not an option for me right now.

Ans I have never seen a rabbit in that office EVER
