It sounds like Hazel was a bit of an aggressor at the start. But then Hugo made an aggressive move towards Hazel – and Liz blocked it with her hand.
When this happened though, Hazel had turned around and was in attack mode – and thinking she was going after Hugo, really bit in to Liz’s hand.
I’m unclear what conditions brought this about, but frankly… I don’t care. This was a delightful moment to capture. Liz and I were stifling our laughter, and I feel lucky I was able to sneak in a few photos of… well, of whatever was going on here.
Hazel has been enjoying the Hop ‘n Flop a great deal. Ever since we moved it into her cage, it’s been her go-to spot.
Liz, sitting with the bunnies… and with some baby food at the ready. Fake it till you make it.
It felt like things were ok, and I allowed the bunnies to get close – but it was too early. Hazel in particular has come out of her shell, and has gotten a little… feisty? Sassy? She’s a lot more opinionated, it seems.
Well, there was a bit of a scuffle and I tried to insert myself to break things up. My hand caught a bite that was intended for Hugo, so this injury came from Hazel.
Tonight, I was really wary. So I kept them apart as much as possible. Both bunnies seemed riled and amped up. So I had a screen between them for most of the night. I was able to calm them both down (eventually), but probably 45 minute passed before they were in a calm state.
Our drywallers needed to stay late today, so I ended up remaining at home while Liz took Hugo back to Red Door for another round of speed dates.
The goal was to see how things went with Kavorka, and maybe Salt. Hugo was pretty stressed out on his second meeting with them, so we were curious to see how things would go this time around.
