        I haven’t tried bonding any bunnies to each other.  I assume that Tank and Ranger are/will be bonded just because they’be been together since birth.  The bonding I’ve been working on is with ME.

        Tonight I was in pure bunny heaven.  I was cleaning Digger’s cage and he ran up to me like he always does.  I was rubbing his forehead, which he LOVES when my daughter called my name.  I left my hand where it was but stopped petting when I turned to look at her and all of a sudden I feel this nose pecking my hand.  He wasn’t done with his head rub!  I stopped cleaning, scooped him up, and sat down with him on the couch…where I got 25 uninterrupted minutes of lap bunny goodness.  He licked me!  And after a few minutes he was laying in my lap with his eyes only open about 1/4 of the way.  He never once made a move to try to get down.  He did dig at me a little and nip my shirt (I think he was trying to scrunch me like a blanket…lol) but once he settled in he was happy to let me run my hands all through his fur.

        After I put Digger back in his cage I got 10-15 minutes of lap time (or shoulder time in Ranger’s case) with each of the babies.  That was almost an HOUR of lap time!  I hope tonight wasn’t just a fluke.  I hope I can spend quiet time like that with them a couple times a week.  I know bunnies like to run and play but today they were all practically begging to be held.  The babies each came over to me while I was sitting on the couch and stood up with their little paws on my pant legs.

        I just had to share, especially since Digger has been feeling so crappy the last couple of days.  It’s good to know he still loves me.

            You got a nosepoke too! I think it is so funny when they nosepoke you. Curly Sue is a champion nosepoker, she’ll do it to get more pets or to try to get you to move out of her way. Sounds like a wonderfully cuddly evening!

              Awww – I think the thing I love the most about nose pokes is that its a way for our bunnies to “talk to us” – although, I think what they are “saying” is not so nice, probably something like “gimme some more gosh darn head pets!” or “get out of my gosh darn way!” – though, depending on the personality of the bunny you have, it might be more or less rude than that….
