Pepsi and I went to the shelter today to find her a boyfriend! She bonded instantly with a boy named Ozzy.

Ozzyis so wonderful!! SO calm and very sweet. Hedidn't seem scared at all. Pepsi was scared at the shelter. They were placed in a pen together with the adoption coordinator. They got along EXTREMELY well, no nipping oranything, they cuddled and jumped over eachother and ran in circles. I had to bring him home. I had to. I'm praying they didn't just get along because she was scared. They still seem good at home, though.

For those who advised of the quarintine(SP?) They came home in the same carrier, and they were cuddling in it (so cute) but that was the onlytime they will spend together until AFTER the spay. Yes by the way, Ozzy is neutered, or there wouldn't have even been that much contact. The lady was very reassuring that Ozzy was in good health.She said he's been there for almost a year and hasn't been sick at all. She also said that NO MATTER where the new bunnies come from that they bring in, they keep quarintined for a month on (dont remember the name) medicine that kills any worms or bacteria they may have when they arrive. She gave her word he wasn't carrying anything. I believe these people to be pretty honest, so I'm comfortable. But they will stillremain seperate for 3 weeks, just in case, and so she has time to heal.

For now though its so cute! Their cages are next to eachother and they just stare at eachother. Pepsi even did a dead bunny flop right next towhere he is. How cute, they seem so content at the moment, even indifferent cages. The adoption coordinator said she was amazed at how well they got along, she said its so rare that they get along immediately! I'm so excited! I can't wait for the spay and the healing process to come and go, so we can get on with bonding some buns!

Thats so wonderful! Im so happy for you guys. Do you have any pics of the little guy? She will be so happy to have abuddy once she is spayed.

How's he doing since you got him home? Is he eating and pooping so far?

I wish I couldve been there to see them snuggle! Theres nothing better than bunnies in love

aww they are going to make a wonderful couple! They match :D

So did you technically adopt him or are you just "fostering" to be sure it works out?

Hes such a cutie. And she is adorable!
 
No I full out adopted. Rochelle said if Ifostered to please please please not try to bond them....But I'm goingto be doing that for sure....There was absolutley no doubt in my mindabout him. I usually trust my gut feeling, and that was "They're goingto love eachother" I hope I'm right! I think Rochelle wanted to keepPepsi, she cuddled her and that was that. She's like "Oh my god I loveher" Haha, I'm so lucky to have such sweet buns!!!!!

I'm so glad I found your shelter!
 
Thanks! He seems to be doing well even thoughthe cage is tiny. Poor little guy. I'll let him out to exploretomorrow. I figured tonight they both needed to rest, I'm hoping thateventually they'll both have free reign over my bedroom while I'm away.And I decided that Pepsi is going to stay in the cage a little morethan usual for her, just so she doesn't get "territorial" in mybedroom, since there's another one in the room...
 
Congratulations!!!!! Sounds like theyare off to a great start and you will have NO problems once Pepsi girlis fixed. He's SO cute - looks just like my parents bunnyCookie. I love him!

Thank you so much! I was worried about mytiming, but the more I think about it, I think it might be good forthem to be apart for longer. That way maybe they'll want to beout together. Plus, having her recovering will mean she CAN'T come outand play, so it won't be possible to resist the urge to let them playtogether too soon! I'm so happy today was a good day:D
 
More pictures!

First, here's my Pepsi:

In two days, she hasn't been very far from his cage. Please noone tellme how small his cage is because I'd never leave him in it like that tolive. This is just a few more days.

Pepsi is going to the vet on Thursday to be spayed, I'll build the newNIC cage (I bought a whole new box full) And she'll be in the small onewhile she heals.

After that, the bonding begins, and with these two, it doesn't seem like it will be very hard!!


 
Thanks! They seem to like eachother enough now,I'm just worried after she's spayed and smells different, Ozzy might beconfused. Only time will tell! Although I may be biased, I believePepsi MAY be the custest bunny ever....haha! :)
 
She shouldn't smell different, the hormones willdie down and then she may smell different to him, but keep them housedclosely while she heals. Take is slow, it will be a couple ofweeks before any bonding sessions should begin:).
