Finally Bonding

[anyar.dris]

Fingers crossed they are all finally bonded. Last night was the first time Bunny (white crested swiss teddy) allowed Prince (ginger rex) to sleep/rest beside her inside a box. Cookie (abyssinian) has been fine with him for a few days now and constantly chasing each other around the living room (well until Cookie gets tired and starts to get annoyed).

This is the photo I took just now. No rumblestrutting from anyone of them (only minor squeeking/talking), no chattering, and just calm eating all together. It probably helped that Bunny is in heat today and she managed to try and hump Prince a few times and him running away. Haha. Tonight will be the first night I will allow them together without barriers. I'm praying I won't find any one of them bleeding tomorrow morning.

I doubt that; they look pretty settled to me!

Thanks for that @Wiebke . Less mess to clean in the living room soon because all the shavings and hay are everywhere when they are in bonding phase..

Congratulations on your love!y trio!

Thank you! I really hope everything is smooth from this day forward. The last time we bonded a neutered boy to 2 sows was 4 years ago and it took almost two months! (My profile photo are the 3 of them..all in gp heaven now) So I was really nervous that it would be like that this time. It'll be 2 weeks on Friday when we adopted Prince and everything seems to be doing fine.

They are a lovely looking trio, hope they settle down now.

Well...everyone's still alive this morning! Prince is rumblestrutting again and I'm just waiting what would happen during the day. Cookie is moving away from both Prince and Bunny and is on the other side of the living room. I'm just wondering how much Bunny can ignore Prince's antics before she gets annoyed again.

Update:

Apart from Bunny nipping Prince a couple of times while walking in front of her and Cookie making that sort of whimpering sound at times, they have all been fine! We left them in the house for half a day and they were all doing alright when we returned. Here's their photo for the night.

I know..I just put on their fruit bowl and they were waiting for me to finish taking their photo so they can eat.
