Baby bunny update

Well we have 3 boys, so that is good. I have received donations to cover 2 neuters, so 1 more to go. I would like to take them in soon-any little bit WILL help.


Thanks so much to those of you that have already helped out. Your kindness means so much to me.


Merry Christmas from me, hubby, 8 rabbits and 2 cats.

Foster buns need your help!

I neglected to tell you about the great news I had a few weeks ago. I convinced the Humane Society to change their policy regarding rabbits: making it so all rabbits are fixed before going into homes (just like their cats and dogs). I also made an information packet for them to hand out to the new rabbit owners.

That joyous occasion was short lived. Now they tell me they can't afford to have the rabbits fixed. Right now the only rabbits they have are the ones I still have in foster care. This news made me so sad. It is so important that they be altered for so many reasons: it's better for their health, they would have better litter box habits, they can become aggressive, we don't need more babies to add to the pet population, people wouldn't be able to adopt them to reproduce them for fur or meat, etc.

Here is where they need your help. I want to raise money to have the 3 babies altered. (I will pay for the momma to be spayed.) I am asking you for your donations. Those of you that donate $25 or more will get a hand made mini scrapbook (4-6 pictures) of your pet(s). You can email me for my address at kauai_sand@hotmail.com. Or you can make the donation to the Humane Society of Skagit Valley, 18841 Kelleher Rd, Burlington, WA 98233, please let them know your donation is for altering the foster rabbits. ANYTHING will be appreciated! The buns will have a better life if we can do this for them.




One other thing, if you would please: I don't have a very large blog following. Would you please post a link on your blog to mine (copy and paste my story if you want). That would be wonderful. Thanks so much! Oh, and if you have any easy fund raising ideas, please let me know.

Binky Bunny delivery!!!!

THE BEST rabbit website is binkybuny.com. I have learned SO much from them, and got lots of ideas AND they have a super cool store. At the store I got Bambi and Cinnamon a fun bun-cave. They sent a little bag of treats as a free gift.
It was easy to put together. It's two levels, but I only made it one. I figured they would use the 2nd level to escape.

It's getting cold.

But the only rabbits that notice are Clint and Gerald. I put extra blankets on the 2nd level, and covered the box holes with a towel. Winter is when Gerald gets sick. Cinnamon too when he was outside. I always thought it was the cold, but now I'm thinking it's the dampness. Most of the rabbitat floor is covered in newspaper and straw, both are pretty damp by the end of the week.




I still have the foster buns too. All buns are separated now, too much humping and spraying going on. In a few weeks they will be fixed, at least the boys will be, the girl will be ready in amonth or two. I believe there are 2 boys and 1 girl. I gave one of the boys some old pants to dig in when he has playtime in the kitchen.


Momma is so sweet and I have named her Meadow. Thanks to advice from Fez's mom http://some-bunny.blogspot.com/, I believe I can keep her without upsetting Bambi and Cinnamon too much. Meadow lives in the guest bathroom now. Discovered she loves the counter, and pushing everything off of it, doesn't matter if it is glass or plastic. (Thank you for breaking my favorite fall green vase, that I now only have a picture of....)



Unrolling toilet paper is fun for a bun too......

Baby bunnies-playtime!

Discovered the best way to let the babies get exercise is to put them on the bed (with a blanket covering the bedspread).
