Maggie and Thor have made leaps and bounds (no pun intended). Ever since I have been bringing them on a car ride in the carrier together they have gotten closer. We are now able to let Maggie and Thor out in 'Maggie's territory'. They have been busy exploring each others cages. I have even seen them in the same cage together without altercation. For some reason Thor's hay tastes so much better then Maggie's hay! It's fun to watch them chase each other around the coffee table and spread out when they are both tired. They have been laying next to each other while Maggie grooms Thor's head and ears (OH BOY! Does Thor love the grooming!). A big thing we did when we decided to try letting them out in 'non-neutral territory' is take away the boxes and toys that Maggie considered 'her toys'. Originally these were distracting and Maggie felt like she had to protect 'her stuff'. Now we have bought a few new items that the bunnies can both mark as there own. They have both been mounting each other (but not in an aggressive way) so we just keep an eye on that. It's funny because Maggie will mount Thor's head and Thor will buck her off. All you see is a little black bunny head under a little black bunny tail. Thor likes to return the favor by mounting Maggie. Then Thor will chase Maggie and he will binky in the air (oh what fun!). It is very cute to see them playing and snuggling together. NOW we are getting somewhere. It's been about 9 weeks since we first adopted Thor so we are on track.
Now the only problem is trying to introduce Riley. We have been busy and haven't had time to dedicate a chunk of time to making a trio. I am hoping that come April we will have more time to devote to this.
