i spent all of today trying to get my bunnies to get along.

the following are some peaceful pictures of them together.

from left to right:
lena, tina, beau (all brown), stormy (all black)

stormy is being a curmudgeon and nipping lena and tina whenever she feels like it.

they've figured out though that she doesn't have it in for them, she's just a grumpy sourpuss.

i'm also looking for new names for lena and tina. the names don't stick in my mind much and i think it's because their names don't feel like they match them well.

tina... she's the calmest and the peacemaker. she's the only bunny that was relaxed enough to eat and poop regularly all day. i've considered "serena" as a name, but it's too long.

lena... she's spunkier than tina, but still very sweet. she's a little cowed by stormy right now, but you can tell from the picture that she's getting used to being kicked around and still enjoying life.

surprisingly enough, every bunny has groomed each other now. this is a good sign. all four bunnies have also flopped (lying completely on their sides) at least once around each other too.

as for how common is it for 4 bunnies to coexist happily? not that common... most bonding literature only talks about bonding two bunnies and warn people about bonding more. but i think this will work.
