What's the latest on the bonding front?
Misty, Charlie and Oliver's Crawl Space

hehe, thanks guys!
So the latest on the bonding front... now that we are back from our honeymoon, we're seriously going to start the bonding work.
To be honest, I'm a bit selfish. Oliver is the most wonderful snuggle bun on the face of the earth, and neither Misty nor Charlie let me snuggle them anymore since they have each other... so I have been loving Oliver who craves attention all the time.
I've sort of been putting off bonding so I can keep Oliver all to myself.. is that wrong? ah well.
Today I brought Misty and Charlie down to play in the living room where Oliver's cage is located. The first thing Charlie does is spray pee all over Misty... I was hoping that would have been a thing of the past with the neuter, but old habits die hard I guess. After about 2 hours of bunny 500s and binkies on all fronts, they all knocked out and went to sleep.
Charlie tentatively approaches Oliver, but Oliver nips a bit through the bars of hiscage- and Charlie does not respond favorably. Misty and Oliver will sniff each other through the bars, but no one is giving in and being the submissor so far... but so far so good (except for the pee and poo everywhere! ugh).
I want Oliver's cage out of my living room, so I can have it back.. but at the same time, i don't want to lose him as my cuddle bun. So torn....

Aww its not selfish at all. Mr. Tumnus was so much nicer to me before Lucy came along.
I think as long asOliver gets lots of attention from you he's fine as a single bun. What about just putting him back in the living room?
Oh and we need more pics

... and now that I am no longer a mod, I actually have a small bit of time to update my blog. heheh.
Christmas is coming up and that's a big deal in both Neil's family and mine, so at the moment we're trying to figure out how we are splitting the holidays between the families.... it's causing quite a bit of tension in my house, so I am not too pleased by that one bit. Not really what the holidays are about, but I guess it can't be avoided.
<-- that's exactly what I feel like with this Christmas argument...
I've been spending way too much on presents this year. Actually, it's funny because I haven't spend THAT much of my own money... we have a ton of gift cards we got for the wedding that we never used because we've had our house for 2 years, so we have almost eveything we need for it... so the gift cards have kinda just been sitting around. Well.... I decided to use the gift cards to get Neil a Playstation 3. hahah. Happy Wedding to us!! And Merry Christmas to Neil (cost me nothing!)
The buns are also benifiting. I found this willow ball at the store the other day... no lie, it's bigger than Misty, Charlie and Oliver put together. It's about a 12 inch diameter... it's HUGE. It was at the grocery store (Loblaws in the flower department for anyone in Toronto looking for a good bunny gift). and was only $10. I'm sure they will eat the entire thing in like 2 days... but it's SO BIG.
So Merry Christmas to everyone.
I know it totally already feels like winter here (even though Winter doesn't officially start for another couple days..) because there is about 3 feet of snow outside of my door. Thankfully, shovelling snow is one of the tasks I have labelled "boy tasks", so while Neil spent 4 hours on Sunday shovelling snow, I played Mario Galaxy on the Wii for hours. I'll admit... I actually played for 11 hours on Sunday. My hand was totally cramped and it was the laziest day I have had in FOREVER.(Not to mention the Wii is actually a christmas present to my sister from my brother and I, but I wanted to test it out to make sure it was working ok before we gave it to her....)
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I didn't know u were no longer a mod?! I've missed a lot I guess.
I'm definitely going to go and check out Loblaws for that HUGE willow balls. My buns would love it! I need a Charlie fix, we need some new pics. (Although I should talk, I haven't updated in way too long either)
I know the stress of splitting up your time for the Holidays. We do it every year too, but thank goodness this will be our last year of doing that!! YAYY With the Baby comming I always said I would spend Christmas at home when my children were small. So anyone who wants to see us, can come to us next year. Take some of my stress away for sure! So maybe the answer for you guys is Baby time??!! LOL!!!!

Soo... I asked Santa for a new point and shoot digital camera that had a video option so that I could take some video of the buns and also so that I had a small light weight camera to take with me on a daily basis as opposed to the DSLR where I had to plan to take that around cause it was so big.
So I got aCanon Powershot SD750. It's a very nice little point and shoot.
Anyway, who cares... on with the video.
I took one of Misty and Charlie and one with Oliver...

LOL! That is so cool! Should give him a pair of sunglasses and some chips and send him out on the poker table! That has got to be one of the cutest poker faces ever!
Any bonding news at all?

I'm not going to be bonding him to the other two.
He had some kind of break out of syphilis (maybe) over the whole summer. The vets never really figured out what it was, and it went away on it's own, but it's not totally gone... he still gets a small scab or two on his cheek every now and then.
So.. in the interest of not having the other bunnies catch whatever it is he has (in case it's contagious), I've decided not to bond them at all.
And, Oliver is so happy alone now that he has free run of the main floor. I'm taking his cage away this weekend.
