Happy Birthday Bunnies!

Was I in the right place at the right time or what??!! Gerald is thirsty...

It's getting colder and darker now. We put up all the walls on the rabbitat to protect them from the weather. Though this October has been fairly good weather wise, it has been freezing at night. Buns have extra blankets and straw too.

Two of the walls have 'windows' and we plan on putting another one in so they can still get natural light. I go out every morning and night with a flashlight, and there is a small light installed in the rabbitat. I wish I could leave the light on for them during the day. Hubby still takes off a wall in the afternoon just so they get more light. When it gets colder we won't do that.

We got the rabbits 2 years ago this month. I have learned so much about rabbits in 2 years. I'm glad we have them, even if they do drive me crazy. Tonight I went out to feed them and found Bambi and Cinnamon completely dumped one of their corner litter pans. Thanks, I will clean that up after I fill in Clint and Gerald's hole....

When we pull the weeds, this is what you will see in the backyard. I love bunnies, and ladybugs too. Together, it's just perfect! One of my favorite finds at a garage sale last year. Says "Bunny Crossing".

Cinnamon is looking good

I just noticed last week that Cinnamon has put some weight on. Finally. He lost weight when he was sick and on medication (for almost a year). But he looks so good now; I'm so happy. He looks like he did when we first got him.

Clint lounging, I rarely catch him doing that!

This is some of the grossness I find while cleaning the rabbitat. You can't tell from the picture, but that thing is bigger than a quarter! NASTY!

So close to escape.

Well they really did it this time. The hole was 10 inches down and 3 feet across. If they had gone down a few more inches they would have cleared the hardware cloth that is buried, then a few more inches over and back up they would have been escapees.

Seems Gerald did most of the work this time. But I know they work together.

Of course they don't help me fill it back up. Took me about 20 minutes. I have to make sure it all gets packed in nice and tight since they were under one of the support posts. Clothes ended up in the hamper and I'm pooped out.

Got enough dirt up your nose Gerald?
So you see that sunkin part of the dirt, in the middle? That is where they went down, then to the right under the cement post.

Again and still....

digging. Clint was busy last night. He was still going at it when I went out to feed them this morning. Funny, he didn't have much of an appetite (he ate a few pellets and that was it). Maybe because he was covered in dirt. He had a pretty good hole dug too. I was able to get the small rake in it. Bambi is also digging daily, on the other side, but she is not getting too far, I keep adding rocks from the garden. Check out the dirt on Clint's nose....

Chew toy.

Cinnamon is a really good bun (compared to the others). He is not a chewer, or digger. Except when he is in the house, he loves the buttons off the remote. Which mostly belongs to my husband. So I tell Cinnamon what a good boy he is and next time be sure to eat the power button.

So far he ate a few buttons off the very top, page up, down, #3, #9 and a few off the bottom. Most buttons we don't use anyway, so we don't miss them.

Lazy afternoon. The boys are enjoying a snooze under their chair. I dare not get too close, or they will scatter.Got some new boxes for the buns while at Costco. Here are Cinnamon and Bambi checking out the new dig...
Then Tiki had to test drive the other box, before the boys got it.
