Wary
Back home, after some time away… the bunnies are a little aloof. Daisy’s fine, and is pretty quick to adjust as she’s done this a lot before. But Hugo seems to be very unsure of things, and has kept his distance.

Daisy’s Hut, Hugo’s Elevator Rides
Tonight, Liz came down to find Daisy hanging out in the wooden hut. With her little leg, dangling off the front. She seemed laid back, relaxed. But that little foot dangle added a bit of regality, I think.
Hugo on Top
Today, a first – came down to see Hugo, standing on the top floor. He and I looked at one another, and we were both pretty confused.
A New Bunny Space for Hugo and Daisy
Liz has continued the bonding sessions with them, but has slowly progressed to where she’s no longer sitting and monitoring them both. The two have been in the same space for a few hours at a stretch, and Liz felt it was time for them to be around one another, 100%.
30 Seconds of Daisy Snoring
I was sitting with Daisy one evening, and she decided to just hang out in her hop-n-flop… and promptly fell asleep. But not only was she sleeping, she started snoring.
I was able to get my camera out, and quietly filmed her up close for a little while.
Everyone, Meet Hugo
We’ve joked that we should have named him “Buddy,” because that’s what we end up calling him casually. Maybe that will be more of a nickname, and Hugo will be what he uses for… I dunno, when he signs legal documents or something.
Daisy Gets Comfortable
This is Daisy, nestled into her (new) Hop-n-Flop. You can tell she’s super comfortable because she’s in a superman pose, with her hind legs fully extended.
Daisy and Mr. Bubbles, Second Bonding Session
Things were going ok this time, but a bit more dominance issues getting worked out. Mr. Bubbles is still a pretty young bunny, and technically was neutered not too long again.
Given how excitable he was tonight, we’re thinking of delaying the next bonding session for a few days… and see if he doesn’t settle down a bit more.
Daisy and Mr. Bubbles, First Bonding Session
With Daisy and Mr. Bubbles next to one another, we could tell they were anxious to hang out again. Daisy could sense someone new was around (though her eyesight probably prevented her from seeing). And Mr. Bubbles was definitely showing an interest in Daisy and her pen.
Another New Bunny in the House
We got some time with Mr. Bubbles, and Liz entered in to mediate the bonding session. Things went very positively, and we felt really good about their encounter – so much so that we decided to make it official.
Daisy and Carmelita, Bonding Sessions Continue
We’ve had a few more bonding sessions with Daisy and Carmelita this week. Things seemed to start off positively (the two were really great with one another, at Liz Rench’s house). But the last few sessions took a turn, where Carmelita has gotten a lot more aggressive.
Daisy and Carmelita, Second Bonding Session
Things were a little rough downstairs for the last session, so we decided to relocate upstairs to the bedroom. Even more neutral ground. Liz had a lot more guarding to do.
Daisy and Carmelita, First Bonding Session
Carmelita and Daisy, sharing a pen for the first time. This was our first (brief) intro for them together, and Liz sat inside to moderate.
A New Bunny in the House
Two females bonding is not unheard of, but is typically a tougher match. So there was some hesitation here, bringing Daisy and Carmelita together. But they got along pretty well on their first date, and Carmelita was a strong candidate.
Daisy Goes on Some Speed Dates, Red Door Animal Shelter: Part Two
To me: Dig Dug is a Victorian era grandfather. Who got hit with a shrinking ray, and also got taken back in time to his 5 year old body. But he retained all his facial hair. This is all I could think of, every time I looked at him.
The only thing this guy is missing is a tiny, checkered vest. And maybe a monocle.
