Petey & Laurel - an update

It's been months since I gave a Petey and Laurel update. You may recall way back in May that these two little fur-heads had a huge fight after a few weeks of blissful cohabitation. That incident pretty much killed all my efforts of bonding and started us back at square one (not to mention the $400+ vet bill for Petey's injuries - ugh). I went the entire summer without putting them in the same space. They did, however, spend every possible minute "together" with a gate between them. They would take turns having the run of the house, each marking the last place the other had been. I figured that at some point the house would become property of both bunnies rather that Petey laying claim to everything (as pink sugary bunnies are want to do).

So, today I decided to give it a try and let them loose at the same time. So far, so good. They have been chasing each other around, doing a lot of chin marking and for a good hour or more they sat snuggled under the piano (above photo). I will not leave them unattended for even a short amount of time so that means tonight they go back to rubbing nose through the gate. Keep your fingers crossed for continued bunny love!

Now my only problem is trying not to think about the blue-eyed bunny I saw at the pet store yesterday. I never should have looked. But I did. Blue eyes!!! I wonder how difficult bonding three bunnies would be...
