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.

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!)
