"Gerald...."

"why is there dirt on your nose??!!"

"Oh, I see, you were trying to take the rabbitat down again."

"Don't bother hiding now, I know it was you. I just got home from my day of fun in Seattle, I look outside, and there you are flinging dirt everywhere."

I'm out of bricks, so I put a plastic milk crate in the new digging spot.

Say it with me now: "BAD BUNNIES!"

Molting, part 2.

It's raining again. And I still don't mind. I just don't like how it makes the rabbitat straw and blankets damp.

I brushed Cinnamon and Clint this morning. They hated it. I brushed them when they were eating, hoping they wouldn't notice, they notice. Clint usually gives in for a few seconds and lets me hold him with one hand and brush with the other. Cinnamon won't hold still for a second, he fights my every move. But I did manage to get a brush full off of each this morning.

We will clean the rabbitat later today. We are going to a baseball game tomorrow.

"Help me! I'm molting!"

I read somewhere that rabbits molt depending on the amount of daylight they are exposed to.

I don't know if that is true or not, at least not with my rabbits. Clint started shedding MONTHS ago, it was still cold and a bit dark. Gerald started after that, and Cinnamon started a few weeks ago. Bambi hasn't shed at all.

Because of all this shedding I make sure they get pineapple every day; supposedly it helps break down the hair, so they don't get a hairball stuck in their gut.

Right now Cinnamon looks like, well, like he is having a bad hare day.....

How can one resist such an ovbious pun?

Wild bunnies.

We always have wild cottontail bunnies hanging around. Over the last few months we have watched a baby bunny grow up. We have seen baby bunnies before, but only once or twice and never again. Here is baby bunny, and baby and adult hanging out the birdfeeder.

Pet sitting, part 2, with pics.

"You back again? Where is my food?"

Everything went fine tonight too. I really enjoyed it. I love pet sitting and hope to make it a full time job someday.

Of all the buns, I think Racer is the cutest.

Guess Princess didn't like me getting so close, so she went into her box, then she realised I had food.I really didn't get this close to Chico, I zoomed in. He still grunted at me when I got too close. But I wanted to pet him, he is so cute too!

Pet sitting for House Full of Rabbits

I have the distinct pleasure of petsitting 10 buns for House Full of Rabbits (Rabbits' Guy and Bunny Lady) for a short time. Bunny Lady made it easy for me, having all veggies ready and signs on all the hutches. My hubby even came with and helped out a bit, what a nice surprise that was! We had a great time. Everybun was well behaved.

Savannah hid at first, but came out for food. I pet her (her fur is like VELVET by the way) then she hid again.

Zoe thumped at me! But I don't take it personally, my own buns thump at me. Baxter seemed happy.

Racer was happy too.

Chico is just adorable and I wanted to pet him, but he was grunting, and I know that is a warning sign to back off, because Clint does that to me too.

Princess seemed disinterested (in us anyway, she was very interested in her food).

The Boys got pretty excited, as did Goldy and Benji.

That's all the news for now. Sorry I forgot the camera. I will bring it tomorrow....

Lounging.

It's not too often I get to see my buns lounge. Mostly because I don't spend a lot of time with them. When I am with them it's for feeding or cleaning, so they are in active mode. I was lucky today, when I was almost done with cleaning, I got this shot.
