Sam, happy studbunny that he is, greeted his American Blue mate with a big happy smile and complete confusion. I suspect he's never been used as a buck, cuz he sure didn't have a CLUE what this beautiful big blue lady was. :roll:
She, however, knew EXACTLY what to do. RUN!! oh. um. No, dear...that's not what I had in mind for you....
After a couple of minutes of sniffing her cowering over in the corner grinding her teeth, this itty-bitty light bulb went on over his head and he tried his best. No luck while she was in the corner. Shucky Darn.
So he pushed her a little with his nose, and then went up to her head..obviously thinking "I must not be doing this right". When he got near the front she whirled and dove under him in what I think was an attack on him bunnyhood. Oh dear! :x
After grabbing her and whirling her around, in preparation of taking her OUT of the cage I was surprised to see that she planted her front end down, and lifted her tail up in the air...rather like a VERY short Center getting ready to HIKE the football to his quarterback. Sam took the clue and soon the deed was done. Twice. By then he was pretty tuckered out, so date night was over. We'll see if they get another chance this evening.
Since I don't EVER want a single litter due at one time again (if I can help it), I opened the divider between Peter, mama-san, and her daughter, Clone. Peter and Mama-san were quite amenable to the new situation, and took advantage of it. Clone, on the other hand, didn't think this was a good thing AT ALL. But she wasn't aggressive, so after watching the happy little family for a while, I left them alone....to let Peter work his magic on her. As I closed the door to the room, he was quietly grooming her face and she was almost purring. I swear...if that buck had money and a phone, he'd be ordering up bunches of carrots and greens to give to his ladies. :lol: He'd be right at home in a silk smoking jacket, too.
