I have begun the process of trying to bond Grace and Louis....here is the progress.
Day 1 - last week I put them both into the hall together to see if they got on. They seemed to stay at opposit ends of the hall and then when they came together Louis would get his hed right next to the side of Graces head. After about 40 minutes Grace seemed to be getting grumpy so I ended the session but it all seemed to go well.
The next day during Graces time out of her cage she went straight to Louis cage and lay in front of it.
Day 2 - A few days later it was bonfire night so Grace and Louis both needed to be with me. Grace was on the floor and Louis was on the bed, as he cant get down. Every now and then Grace would bounce up briefly but then jump down.
Day 3 - Today - hmmm in my infinate wisdom :? I decided to let Louis and Grace out in the living room. I then changed my mind but by this time I had 2 rabbits under the sofa. Louis was doing the head thing again and then they started scrapping! - I seperated them and they both went to their "rooms" for being bad bunnies.
When it comes to bonding I am first to admit that I dont know what I am doing.
Photos!
These were taken on my mobile so the quality is pretty crap but I have a new camera so hopefully there are some good ones coming soon
As you can see litter training Louis is not going well
These "blue" ones of Grace were taken in the summer when she was really hot
How she was comfortable sleeping like this I will never know.
These are with my cat Hetty
In the mean time Grace seems to be over her mystery illness and since she has gotten better she is eating A LOT more than she was before. She wasnt a big eater for ages but lately she finishes everything in her bowl including the stuff she doesnt like but NOT the complete food that Louis eats - she STILL wont switch to any other food than her course mix that we have to get from London
Louis still HATES taking his medicine and although he isnt sneezing as much as he was he still is occasionally and he still sounds snuffly - I think his medcine finishes tomorrow so I will take him back to the vet on Monday - there still isnt any kind of discharge from his eyes or nose so he isnt getting any worse and is making some improvement. My vet will be happy to see him she loves Louis.
