He is! I'm not sure if he's just gone into this needy hormonal state or something, but he's just being a brat! I get the feeling he's chewing his coroplast for attention because he only chews where the door is, and will stop after I give him some cuddles..but I can't be waiting on hands and knees to give Bruno attention when my baby boy wants it (The girls will be ordering this service too then! ). So I just put some newspaper over the coroplast for him to chew, at least it's not so loud and damaging.
Bonding is going alright. I'm back to the 20 minute short sessions with treats in the beginning and ever so often throughout it, then 5 minutes of side by side cuddling at the end when I give some lovies to both. Seems to be working, haven't had any issues since I've started. Will have to do one this afternoon. I'm so behind on bonding pics and videos, ahh!
Here are some pictures and videos will come later, as I promised!
Lets start off with.... Poppy!
You do realize it's nap time, not picture time?
Helloooo!
Might as well sit pretty if I have to deal with this.

Poppy -"Oh, maybe I should be friendly.. she is coming over for a cuddle!"

Pebbles-"I am so cute.. focus on me!"
Poppy - "Grr...Grumble Grumble"

Yay, videos!
Poor Bruno. Tell him to be a good boy from me, tell him that Snuffles is a good boy for the most part, except for digging out his potty pan, I'll kick his butt, Not. I just scoop it up and carry on, he's a goof ball as well.

The videos! :shock:Totally forgot.. will have to upload them some time soon.
I went to a 4H rabbit show today. It was fun! It was Rabbit Showmanship and I watched some of the bunnies and their owners being judged, quite fun! The breeder I got Bruno from was showing Bruno's sister and another buck so I though it'd be good to go and check it out. I couldn't stay long enough to see her rabbits being judged though!
Of course, I brought mycamera hehe! Sorry they are blurry, didn't want to stress the buns out with a flash, so I had to take the pics in a poor mode that doesn't have a flash. Enjoy! I was going to copy their names down and breeds, but totally forgot.
This boy ^^ looked so much like Pebbles! I wasn't able to get a good shot of him, but he had the same facial structure of Pebbles, just 3x bigger! I think he was a lionhead/(NewZealand? Can't remember exactly)
More to come!

More show pics..
Sarah's Diesel (not sure why this is turning out large, I resized it :?)
And my favourite part of the show.. the angoras!
My favourite little guy there.. Blue Boy! If he was for sale, I swear I would have walked out with him.. hehe. He was such a sweet heart!

Ok guys, just a bit of an update for everyone with the trio bonding.
Bruno was neuter on Friday and is healing up fine. I'm going to let him rest and heal, then hopefully move him into the rabbit room. I'm hoping next Wednesday (Ag. 8th)or around there I'll move him in beside Poppy and make him a nice big 4 x 4 cage. So that's just a week from now.
The girls cages have already been connected with a NIC barrier in between and they are great with each other! All 3 cages will be connected, but between Bruno and Poppy there'll be a heavy sheet for the first week he's in there just so he doesn't get too excited and be nipping Poppy through the bars. I might just keep the sheet to block them from seeing and getting at each other but can still smell and hear each other, but I'll see how it goes.
After he's moved into the rabbit room and has gotten accustomed to the girls smells and sounds and is completely healed and calmed down from his neuter... bonding begins! I'm hoping ThursdayAugust 23 is the date that they will come together for the first trio bonding session, then go from there. That will give him a day short of 4 weeks after his neuter and give him over 2 weeks to get used to the girls smells and everything.
As for the girls, they are close to being bonded! They were with each other for 2 and a half hours without a problem, with just a few minor fights near the end of it with nipping. I set them up in a temporarily cage with some sheets, temporal cardboard litter box, hay, water, and a laundry basket on it's side with a towel in it for them to go in. They were eating and drinking together, it was so cute!
I'm going to continue having the girls out more and more so they are out almost all the day with each other. At least they aren't going straight to nipping now. I'm confident that a trio will work!

Wow..
Haven't updated in so long! A quick update..
I've been working a lot on bonding Bruno and Poppy. I had moved the order of the cages to Pebbles - Bruno - Poppy awhile ago when I was trying to find out who I would focus on bonding, and who I would get a friend for. Turns out, Poppy and Bruno hit it off really well and I got Poppy a friend.. that leads to Jasmine.
I adopted Jasmine earlier in the month from the SPCA. You can read more about her in her introduction thread:
http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=30572&forum_id=1
Now that I have two pairs to focus on, I've moved Pebbles upstairs with Jasmine so they can get used to each other. They are doing really well. I have had them out together for bonding a few days ago, and they did really well. They are still getting used to each other, but they are getting there!
Poppy and Bruno are on their way to being bonded. I set up a bonding pen for them in familiar territory (where Pebbles' cage used to be) and they've been in that all day. I plan to leave them there for a few days before cleaning up both their cages, and moving them in permanently as a bonded couple. They already look like an old grumpy couple who have been married for 50 years!
I have a few plans for what to do after bonding.
Plan A) Bond both pairs. Leave Bruno and Poppy downstairs in a 4 x 11 pen and keep Jasmine and Pebbles upstairs as free ranged bunnies in my room
Plan B) Bond both pairs. Wait until Pebbles and Jasmine bond upstairs, then once they bond, move them int a 4 x 5 pen and Bruno and Poppy in a 4 x 6 pen and leave them.
Plan C (The most likely plan)) Bond both pairs. Wait until Pebbles and Jasmine have a strong bond, then move downstairs in a pen next to Bruno and Poppy. Work on bonding a quad.
I would like to have Poppy and Bruno fully bonded by the weekend.. then start on slowly bonding Pebbles and Jasmine. I think P&J will be easy to bond, but you never know, so can't really put atime on them. I'm hoping to have them bond in 3 weeks though.
Sorry for the long update.. lots to say! :biggrin2ictures will come soon.
