Reflections on love and marriage.

Last summer Heartland took in a large group of bunnies from the local animal shelter. They had been living together at the shelter. They had to be separated of course to prevent pregnancy and fights but in the beginning we wanted to try and put them back in a large group after they were spayed and neutered. There was ZERO cooperation on that idea. We quickly realized they would have to end up as bonded pairs rather than a big group.

The dutch bunnies above are the ultimate troublemakers. Several minor scraps ensued!!! First there was fighting, then loving, then fighting, hair pulling, more love and finally hiding. The little girl is trying to make her way into the chiminea and I think Elias is convinced he is incognito inside this cinder block. They are going to take some work!

This gorgeous couple above had a very minor smack down and then happily settled down together.

Is this one bunny with two heads? Little boy buns was binkying so hard and showing off for his lady he had quite a crash into the fence. I affectionately refer to them as Laurel and Hardy.

These two sillies had to be soul mates. Zero aggression on first meeting. Within 30 minutes he was lovingly grooming her ears and snuggling up.

It appears as if the big white kids were just waiting for their mates. It is wonderful to watch. We have a few more couples left to bond and several of them are the marauding dutchies. They are making us work for it for sure. Wish us luck and keep your fingers crossed our dutch kids will decide cuddling is better than fighting!
