Movin' on up!

We got a second extra large cage about a week ago so Simon and River could be happy little neighbors!
We decided that with River being deaf and with both of their personalities demanding them to be alpha bun, it would be safer for everyone involved if these two were upgraded to their own McMansions instead of their efficiency apartments.  We aren't going to try to have them live in the same enclosure again.  For details on why we came to that decision, you can check out my other posts on their bonding exploits (if you haven't already) in:   A cage too far and Bunny bonding take #2...let's just be neighbors.
I think I'll turn the bottoms of their old cages into planters for mint and parsley to keep them well supplied.
The bunnies have created a new game...
It looks to be a combination of tag, barrel racing and hide-and-go-seek that involves much hopping into and out of each others' cage and scattering as much litter as possible from their litter boxes.  I can only assume that the litter boxes are "safe" for this little game.
Taking a break from their game.  Simon decides it's time for a snack while River thinks it's time for Simon to have a bath.  They are awesome at multi-tasking!
After a full day of playing and exploring, it's nap time!
Admittedly, some work needs to be done on their litter box training, but I'm sure they were both so excited that they just couldn't contain themselves (or they made a mess during their game).
Yup, we think Simon and River are pretty happy with their new digs.
