Smudge, Jasper, Simon & WillowThought I'd start a thread for pictures and updates 
There was chasing in the night cos I found fur in there this morning (all Jaspers).
I had to clean them while they were still in the cage so I herded them into the litter tray. After I cleaned them things were calm with them all sitting together so to keep it like that for a while i did this...
and the result was this....

Yay that they're getting on a bit better tho.

I sent Mark the one of me in the cage.... so if you don't hear from me for a bit it's cos he's got fed up with me and stuck me back in there

I assumed he was the one that had shoved you in there in the first place 
Hubby is so not getting to see that pic, he may get ideas

PMSL at you in the cage. Seriously though, it really is looking promising for this gorgeous quartet

Who could resist getting in there with em
I still have my doubts about this working, if it was just the 3 boys they'd have the run of the whole shed already. If it was just Simon, Willow and Smudge they'd still be in the crate but I'd be alot more optimistic that it was going to work.
It's just the way she is with Jasper

There was no fur pulled overnight. I've been leaving them to it today... but I just went out to have a look what was going on, they were all sat in the litter tray and Willow was next to Jasper!!
It's definate progress

Well I'm not feeling as positive today. She's still chasing Jasper, I'm seeing her sitting with Simon and Smudge while Jasper sits on his own. The boys are also sitting with Jasper so he's not totally left out but I'm starting to feel really guilty 
To top it all off Simon has a snotty nose and Jasper has a weepy eye! Which means I've gotta try and manage a vets visit... I have no idea what that's gonna do to the bonding *needs a stressed out smiley.... and a money printing machine*

Not sounding so good for the buns or your wallet. Is there an issue with going back to 2 pairs?

Sorry Jill, I didn't see your reply til just now 
The 3 boys are so loved up and being together has brought out completely different sides of their personalities, so I wanted to give it every chance.
I've been letting the boy's out of the crate for a run around a couple of times a day, gradually increasing the length of time and the last few days Willow has been coming out with them - even when I'm in the shed!
She's been going for Jasper less every day... and she very rarely does it now, when she does it's a bit half hearted rather than the chasing that was happening before.
I think the trip to the vets really helped things actually. When I put them in the cage Simon decided to try and hump everyone
That's about as rowdy as it got though... and after the vet checked Jasper over and he went back in the cage he ran over and sat with Willow. Since then things have been really calm
I'm leaving the crate open all night for the first time tonight so fingers crossed all stays well!
The one development I could do without is Smudge suddenly deciding that he must eat all clothing he comes into contact with 
But as long as things don't go wrong over night.... I think you can do that happy dance Jill

A bonded quartet... much yayness

All is still well with the group today
Willow has now developed the same snotty nose problem as Simon... typical that she waited til the bank holiday weekend
I'm going to start her on the same meds that the vet gave Simon and pop her along to the vets after the bank holiday.

Yay for bonded bunnies, but boo  for snotty bunny noses!

I didn't start Willow on any meds... will be phoning the vets first thing.
There was fur in the shed today but I think that was cos Simon's more randy than normal and everyone else is getting fed up of being humped

Someone is spraying in a major way!!! I have no idea who it is... Willow and Jasper are both turning yellow
Jasper is also starting to try his luck with Simon... not in the humping sense mind you, they had a bit of a scuffle yesterday that Jasper started. I chucked a load of different hays in there stuffed in flower pots, a willow ball, kitchen roll tube etc gave em some more toys and a couple of treat sticks (a rose petal & a strawberry... they went down a treat!) to try and keep them busy!
Jack & Emily are in major chasing mode too... spring is definately here!!!!
Emily had a boxing match with my hair last night cos it hung near her when I bent down to do something
