More bunny kisses!

So far so good with the slow bonding.  If things go well today, we may try a short face-to-face encounter on neutral ground this weekend (Apollo will be 10 weeks old then).  At that point, they'll have been in side-by-side enclosures for almost a week.

Apollo is eating well and slowly learning not to stand in his water dish.  He is not a fan of the litter scoop and has tried to pick a fight with it when I remove the wet bedding from around his water dish.  That is his wet bedding, and it's just the way he likes it!

They both make it a point to binky in front of the other's cage when it's their turn for playtime (usually the other is oblivious to their antics because they're either eating or flopped).  They also mimic one another with eating hay and cleaning, so they're getting a bit more synchronized.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Mlem!

As is tradition, I had to get a pic of baby Apollo next to a Coke can.  His little tongue sticking out is cracking me up!

Baby Apollo's first shenanigan!

The evening we brought him home, I was on the phone with my brother when I glanced over and saw this.  Apollo actually hopped down when I asked him to, came over and let me give him noogies as he checked out my phone.  His 'uncle' was on speaker calling him a "silly little wabbit" as the little fella was nose-bonking my phone.

In other news, the little munchkin is doing really well with the whole litter box training thing!

Day #2 with baby Apollo.

Naomi and Apollo are giving each other kisses through the cage bars!

The little fella hopped up onto the pellet container to try to give Naomi kisses.

She was so excited that she was biting the cage bars (she does this when treats or anything else she likes is in-bound despite our best efforts to train her out of it), so I had to gently steer the little fella away because she gets in the zone when she's spun-up excited. Baby Apollo was so offended that I was trying to keep him away from his new friend that he lightly boxed at my hands. Sorry little buddy--it's for your own good; you can give her kisses later. (Don't want a misunderstanding if his little nose was accidentally nibbled!)

Introducing baby Apollo!

We brought this curious, bold, sweet little boy home with us on Sunday. Naomi is fascinated by him and he is a friendly little fella, so bonding is going well so far. We're keeping them separate for now, but they're getting used to one anothers' presence as Apollo settles into his new home.

The little guy has given me three nose-bonks today and has come up to me and let me give him noogies multiple times, so that was an unexpected surprise!

Happy girl!

Seeing Naomi do a huge binky yesterday had me grinning like an idiot.  It warms my heart to see her happy!

In other good news, we managed to find a little boy bunny who is in need of a good home.  Big human, Naomi, and I are going to pick the little one up on Sunday.  Naomi will be in her own carrier and we'll bring a separate one for the baby bun, so they can each see and smell one another on the ride home.  We're going to take it slow and see how she reacts and the personality of the baby bun and work to make sure everybun feels safe and loved because this will be a huge life change for everyone.

Thanks for visiting the blog and we hope you all have a great weekend!  Stay safe out there and we'll be back with more bunny cuteness on Monday.

Having a sad.

Naomi was looking in Amos' empty cage (we haven't removed it because she'll get even more upset if it's gone) and then did this. I helped Mr. Giraffe give her lots of kisses and snuggles along with some noogies of my own. Thankfully her bouts of grief are becoming fewer and farther between. It's just going to take time.
