Whoops, sorry for not seeing this earlier! Here's an update on Pipp and the rescue bunnies.
TheLop and thefoster bun, Radar,are now getting along just fine, or at least they're not fighting or obsessively mounting. They still have 'issues' as to who's going to groom who first, so that hasn't happened yet, but it should in the near future.
Both are friendly enough to people, but neitherlive for humancontact like the other two (theRex and Pipp).
I'm callingthe Rex 'Dill' and the Lop is 'Darry'. (This is an old pic when they first arrived). I named them after two late friends -- Bill and Barry.
Billy died the weekend I got them, onthe same night as a memorial forhis brother Barry,a Katrina victim. :cry2(I shouldn't have picked those names, 'cause now I'm a little too attached).
But Dill looks like he's been rolling in dill, and the lop looks like a little dairy cow, so they fit!
The Rex is an amazing little rabbit. He's like a little dog. He loves attention, he follows me around, loves being petted and nuzzled. But watch out if you do something he doesn't like, he bites! And hard!! He has me well trained to only do what he wants!
I'm having a big problem with him right now becauseI can't get him to eat much real food (he prefers paper, plastic, woodand drywall), and I'm very worried. He's active, and he's pooping normally considering his intake, although obviously less than I'd like.
I don't have the pellets he was used to, haven't been able to find them anywhere I can get to. He like the cheap bulk pellets (12% protein), he's nibbling on those, and just a very little bit of veggies and hay -- which is odd, because he was wolfing down the hay when he first got here. I'm hoping he's just hot in the house after six months in an unheated shed -- or something.
He may be heading to the vet's pretty quick. :nurse: Wish us luck!

Pipp has also calmed down.
She's kept out of the line of sight of all the other bunnies.
