#7- They ate a tiny bit of hay, a few nips again. I thought Rose was going to groom Hammer, but then she nipped of course. Ive been putting a drop of water on their foreheads to mess up their fur.. but neither want to fix the others. Rose groomed herself quite a bit, they both looked comfortable and Hammer then groomed himself for a second. Hammer did stretch out some, with his head to the floor of course. Rose stretched, leaning forward, and yawned. It was so cute and i take it as "im comfy". They are up to 20 min. sessions, that sometimes run a little late.

Question, Hammer has been making a tooth purr noise when he is in the tub and im petting him. Its more of a chatter, like when we are cold. But today Rose did the purr thing back, after he did it, but a little louder. Is it a tooth purr or a aggressive noise? Or maybe a nervous/scared noise? They were both facing each other, with acceptable ears and body language, in the same half of the tub.

Digby and Yoshi will have little tooth-pur "conversations" when they're lying next to each other. To me, it seems like the louder chatter is a request for grooming, and the continuous softer chatter is an "ahh, that's the spot" kind of noise.

#9- they moved to the bathroom! just the usual, some lunges from Rose but no nips thanks to the water bottle. I was proud of her at one point, when Hammer hopped right past her, in her face, and Rose didnt do anything but widen her eyes and put down her ears! No lunge, yay!  Then she threw a fit because I sprayed her for lunging later.  She thumped and thumped, dug all the hay out of a bowl, throw the bowl, and then threw it at me lol. Hammer hopped over and hid in my lap lol. Some pictures and her fit..

LOL that was my first thought when seeing the rug covered in hay!  LOL 

I'm glad to see they're making some progress  

Tucker does the same thing btw..when she's done with something she chucks it.  And she's very particular about where she wants her stuff too.  Drue you could put it wherever and he'd just adapt like "oh my food bowl is here today?  Ok I eat here.."  Tucker is the opposite.  She will go over to the bowl and throw it if it's not where she likes it.  I've learned the hard way not to put ceramic bowls in her condo!  Their bowls were dirty so I grabbed two dessert plates from our cabinet.   I put their greens up on her top shelf because that's where she was.  So silly me..I thought I was doing her a favor and giving her "breakfast in bed"..well she chucked the plate right off the edge and it hit her water crock and broke right in half...ugh.  And then she gave me the stink eye..Mike luckily was in a good mood so he just said "the Queen has spoken!".  I was waiting for him to be mad that i put the nice plate in with the bunnies again...

There are and the bunnies have their own plates from that collection.  But we have 8 of those plates.  Two for each kid and then one for each bunny.  I hadn't done dishes yet from  the night before and the second for each kid was being used for breakfast...bunnies hadn't finished their veggies the day before and so there was dried yuckies on their plates. It was a series of very unfortunate events! LOL

I actually do think I'm going to go buy more of those though because those plates are awesome for bunnies and children alike! LOL  Tucker likes them too because they have a liitle lip on them and she can use them for frisbees when she's done with them! 

#10- Hammer groomed Rose!!!! HAMMER GROOMED ROSE!!!!! Yay!! One lunge and nip at first from Rose, they were to close to stop her with a squirt, so she got wet as she made contact.  She stayed still, in bun loaf.  While Hammer hopped about, again in front of her face with no nips.  Then I put them together for cuddles and TA-DA!! Hammer groomed!! The first time I didnt get my camera soon enough, i was just so happy it didnt fully register lol. Later the second time I snapped a few pictures.  You might not be able to tell, but he is grooming in all but the last.  Awesome! I ended it after he stopped grooming for a minute or two. Figured that was a very positive note to end on...... YAY!!! I just cant get over it lol.  Im so happy and relieved that this looks hopeful!

They binkied together!!! This morning Hammer started to wildly binkie in his cage, blindly jumping and zooming around and on and off his shelf. Then Rose joined in!! They are happy together, yay! They arent in love yet, but it sure looked like it for a few minutes this morning. It was so cute! Best thing to see ever, my babies sharing their happiness!! lol
