Humum says that sounds very familiar, and puts you one point up on me already

If you can cook and run a duster around, you can have a pen all of your own and some free-range time in the driveway when the weather is ok Laughing

They are in the hall, so we shall hear if there is any commotion.
She seems much less hyper having Chequers alongside, and he's chilled out
Will send photos tomorrow

I know what you are thinking now.... you might get them back sooner than you thought Very Happy

You read my mind Sparky! I was sort of thinking "I might be able to get them tomorrow" Embarassed

If they are getting on they may as well been in my living room than the rescue Embarassed

I am very proud of my little girlie Love

And I can make a nice curry and roast dinner if that's any good?!

The dancing bananas and dancing bunnies Very Happy

I can't believe how quick it has all happened. It was only this time last week I met him, now him and Florence are all loved up Love

I replied saying it sounds like they are made for each other.

by Tuckerbunnies Sat Jan 28, 2012 9:58 am

I'm just so happy for you and Florence and of course Chequers as his life has just changed for the best, a new girl to snuggle up to and a new forever home....awwww Love

by icedancer Sat Jan 28, 2012 10:00 am

He's going to be thrilled when he comes up. Nice massive pen, a sofa to jump onto and lots of love. I hope he'll be thrilled anyway, I expect Florence has told him all about it Love

I think it's one of the greatest feelings to have a single bun and bond it with another bun and then watch them snuggle up together and wash each other Love

unless you are called Rosie and Murphy that is

thats amazing news,cant wait to see pics Happy Dance

by **Thumper2001** Sat Jan 28, 2012 11:47 am

I'm glad to hear that it is all going well Thumbs Up

Try to not get your hopes up about getting them home early though. You will just be disappointed if it doesn't happen, and if they do come home early, it will just be a bonus! Very Happy

No photos yet Hissy

I forgot to shut down my outlook before I went out so I couldn't check my email on my phone. As soon as I got home I checked, but nothing yet.

The people who run the rescue are away tomorrow night. They said originally that because of that they wouldn't put the bunnies together overnight until Monday. That's kind of what's giving me hope I might be able to collect them tomorrow morning. But if it isn't until next week that's fine, but I do miss my baby.

I'm about to clean her house out now. I need to get a larger foodbowl, she has a guinea pig one at the moment, but the two places I've tried haven't had larger ones. I'm not convinced that two noses will fit in her current one.

Do I officially have two bunnies yet?!

by lizzi_b Sat Jan 28, 2012 3:15 pm

Aww you must be going mad without your baby!! Can you ring them and see how she's doing? Or go and see her?

As far as bowls go you might be better with two bowls! But as I've never had two rabbits I'm just guessing!!

by icedancer Sat Jan 28, 2012 3:20 pm

When we were out we were just around the corner from them and I was tempted, but I don't know if she sees me too soon whether it would affect things.

I'm trying not to email them again, as I replied to their email this morning saying I would be looking forward to seeing the piccies, so I don't want to bug them too much Laughing

by KatieB Sat Jan 28, 2012 3:20 pm

Annie and charlie have a bowl each. But Annie just uses this as an excuse to stick her face in his and help him finish his before moving onto her own!

That's an offer no one could refuse

Great news Smile

Maybe I should just get a second smaller one then. I was thinking I would get a larger for pellets and then use this smallish one for readi-grass. I'm half hoping boy bunny might teach Florence how to use a hay rack so that all her nice nomming hay doesn't get trampled flat when she's having her mad moments.

I need to go to a pet shop again tomorrow anyway. One of the recommendations following the home visit was to get somewhere for new bunny to hide, and for them to go to get away from each other. When I dropped Florence off at the rescue she had a lovely wicker/willow thing that was like half of a tunnel which she really loved so I'm hoping to find one.

The house has been flooded with water/washing powder (well liquid), scrubbed, rinsed and is now drying. I think I might be just about there now. Pen is all ready to go back up and the top for the pen is out in case boy bunny decides it would be a good game to scale it. I've just got to shred a load of newspaper, as I imagine litter tray will have to be changed twice a day from now on, and then I can just wait patiently for the email from the rescue.

Glad its going so brilliantly! Goodness you must be excited!

HOT OFF THE PRESS UPDATE!!!

Typically came through just as I started cooking dinner!!

It was a quiet night apart from “that damn ball/bell thingy”. I think they were playing football with it !!

There was a slight tussle for dominance at about 8:30 this morning, may have been triggered by the addition of food pellets. They sorted themselves out quickly after they mounted each other – all part of the normal behaviour we’d expect to see.

They then shared their food nicely

They went outside when it was sunny – Flo seemed to like eating the fresh grass. Peace reigned all day.

Once more they are in the hall sharing an indoor cage. Tonight’s veggies have been added and they didn’t argue over who had what

A few more days should confirm that all is going to be good.

Bit difficult to get a photo of them both as Flo doesn’t stay still for long, the best of many attempts are attached.

May not get around to send an update tomorrow (Sunday) as we are out from late afternoon onwards

Photos being uploaded as we speak

How tiny does my little girl look in them Smile

by Sparky Sat Jan 28, 2012 6:18 pm

Oooh! Piccies! Very Happy

She did get put with Chequers and not the little chinchilla baby then. They do make a lovely couple Very Happy

Is the wooden thing in the cage the one you were talking about getting for them? If so, they look like lounging logs - Hudad bought me some yesterday. They come flat but you can bend them into tunnels Thumbs Up

by icedancer Sat Jan 28, 2012 6:20 pm

Yes, they were put together just to see and it was love at first site for both of them Love

How small does he make her look? I was hoping I was remembering him larger but nope, he's huge!

Yes thats the log thing, fab thanks for that Sparky.

by marleyNfriends Sat Jan 28, 2012 6:29 pm

I cant believe how tiny weeny she looks compared to her husbun! Love

by lizzi_b Sat Jan 28, 2012 6:32 pm

awww bless them!!! She is definitely a miniature!!! Laughing

at least it looks ok when the female is smaller!!

you can get those logs from P@H and cheaper than the Hay experts! Buttons loves his!! even if they don't hide under them they are good for their teeth!! Thumbs Up

by icedancer Sat Jan 28, 2012 6:47 pm

Hubby has made a comment about Dougals size, I had warned him

when he got Florence he said I had to make sure she was definitely a small bunny. I told him size doesn't matter Laughing

I think he just looks bigger because of her size.
