Jack Dexter Dexter Jack Whatever
>> Friday, January 27, 2017
So having had enough of the RSPCA, we went to a Pets at Home store and took home one of their 'adopt a pet' rabbits. They are the preloved/unloved pets that their first owners couldn't keep or the ones the store can't sell. Jack-Dexter-Dexter-Jack-Whatever came as a neutered boy called Tiger.
I have yet to take him to the vet for a check up so it's all to play for in the is he or isn't he stakes.
But Florence is neutered so I have 'safety net'
After a week of them living side by side in their cages I took them to neutral ground for a 'meet and greet'
The bathroom was the only place I could see we had where Florence hadn't spent much time, the floor was slippy which is good as they can't get their claws in hard if a fight starts and there are plenty of towels around to use to avoid teeth and claws if I needed to break up a fight.
After an initial sniff
They most tried to hump each other ...
Constantly
Until Florence really got the hump and I called time.
Jack-Dexter-Dexter-Jack-Whatever (name has not yet been agreed on) seemed fairly satisfied with his lot.
The following days meet 2 was relocated to the hall with more toys.
After a bit of nipping they actually started playing
They had a good 90 minutes with each other and it was pretty event free.
So the signs are so far good that they might actually learn to get along.
