Last year I sold a gal a young rabbit with a over cleaned ear. She lives in London in a LOVELY apartment and wanted a nice house pet. I sold her a lad that I thought would make her a great pet and he did.
She contacted me about two months ago wondering if I might have a possible companion for her Peppy.

We talked abit about the pros and cons of different bunnies I had available, and I recommended PinPin to her. PinPin always one of my favourite girls, quiet shy lass who would sit nicely for a good pet, just not cut out for being a mom. So off PinPin went to her home. Below is one of her ready to go a new home pictures.
This is her now;
Getting Peppy and PinPin to get along was a trifle problematic... And PinPin had some troubles overcoming her shyness, but she's apparently coming out of her shell quite nicely.
Allow me to let her owner tell you their story. :)
There was about 5 weeks of them living separately (getting fixed and healing, then getting used to Peppy etc). Her cage was partially in front the of the bedroom door, so they had constant contact, as well she had full access to the bedroom from pretty much day one. Litter training her was easy...here is a box, and she has always used it. Every day they had time together, and inevitably Peppy would get her irritated and I would give her a rest back in our room. But time went on, more and more out time and her (and our) patience paid off! :) They spent most of their days laying on opposite sides of the fence getting used to each other.

But Peppy never strayed far and was always back at the gate before long. He is also a real sucky and loves to be kissed and snuggled, she would come over to the gate during these displays and watch, I think this went far towards her wanting this attention too and overcoming her shyness. So now she will accept quite a bit of pets and kisses before she bolts. lol
All told she was awesome with him, she was far more interested in exploring. She is coming to tolerate his affection, as this is what I think it is maybe vs domination. If she is to just sit still and let him snuggle next to her he is finally happy. It is just getting her to accept it and in the end like it.

First kisses and eating side by side, eventually leads to this:
And so two bunnies lie content. isn't that what we all want??? :) PinPin has found the home that she needed, Peppy has found a good companion, and I am just so very very pleased. :)
