Okay last night I did introductions - Mork to Bessie and Gypsy.

It went like a dream :):)

I brought the run in and put it in the kitchen filled it with hideys with escape routes both ends so no one could get trapped. BIG pile of hay and greens.

I put them all in and what can i say, nothing to report. It was very easy.

Mork was doing crazy popcorning - more than I have ever seen him do. You know the kind that looks like a fit - all over the run. He tried to mount Bessie a few times - she didn't let him, he didn't mind and just popcorned some more. he hasn't even tried with Gypsy that I have seen. When he approached her in that way she seems to be able to make a noise and he just abandons his try? Very odd.

They have done nothing but talk all the time and they are all happy in the cage. They don't have their upstairs yet and I don't think they will until my building work is finished and my husband has half an hour to make it. But for now it's fine, they do have the rabbit 150 so there is plenty of room.

This morning you'd think they had always been together. I suppose they have - just seperated by a divide. Which now sits on the floor, no longer needed.

Thank you to everyone for all the advice from the beginning about whether or not to get mork and then neutering support and what to do to help them get along. It's all gone like a breeze and I hope it carries on that way.

Chuffed!
 
Ooooooo Lisa so happy for them! ^)

Glad to hear it all went well, I like a happy ending! Am getting a little nervous of putting Mabelle and Sasha back together with the baby girls, not sure how to go about it, but this has certainly made me feel better! Mine are side by side too, just seperated by a panel, hoping mine act like they've always been together too!

Thanks! I'm over the moon for Mork too. He's lived alone all his life so far and now he's the life of riley. Bless his furry socks!
 
Yay how fabulous, I love it when things go well :)

Pics of the happy trio please :)
 
Brilliant news, I am so pleased it went so well! Mork must be one very happy chappy. :)
 
I will take some photos I promise! The cage looks so much bigger now that the divide has been removed it's flippin huuuuuuge.

Mork is absolutely made up. It makes me quite teary actually when I think about all those times I saw him in that shop hiding in the hidey peeping out and always being passed up on. I just wish I had got him sooner seeing as I ended up with him anyway.

I also can't speak for anyone else planning on introducing boys and girls but like I was advised it's been brilliant. The easiest introduction I have done.

Problem Mork has now though is that he liked to take all day or all night eating his veggies slowly and the girls finish them in the hour! He's going to need to step up and much his food fast or miss out!

Also the girls have decided BOTH the crash pads are theirs and he's only allowed the least favourite furry bed! Poor chap. I am going to have to buy another crash pad so they can have one each as he's sleeping under the sticks right now instead of a warm bed. Women eh? rolleyes;)
 
So glad to hear that the introduction went well and I'm sure Mork will have so much fun with his new wives.
 
He's loving it so far! Fingers crossed he carries on loving it.
 
Glad it all went well for you! Sounds like it went like a dream :) I am feeling more positive about Jive moving in with Furby and Cottonbud after seeing two similar introductions at cavy rescue and retreat. At the moment it is all fingers crossed as the op is this wednesday!
 
Mork must be over the moon! Well done Lisa, you must be thrilled, we love happy piggies! But how DARE you not give us any pictures 8..., rolleyes.

I hope your taking picitures as I'm typing! :<>
