Pet sitting again!

I have the pleasure of pet sitting Baby. She is a cute little guinea pig, small compared to most. So far I have had her for 1 week and get her for 1 more. She is easy care, but messy with her bedding. She eats just about the same thing as the buns. Had to clean her cage today, so I put her in the bathroom where she chewed on part of the door, oops. Oh well. Here she is coming out of her cage for a little exercise.

Sarvey Wildlife Center

Today hubby and I went to Sarvey Wildlife Center to drop off some supplies. We have been meaning to go there for almost a year now. We brought them a huge bag of dry cat food, baby food, paper towels, fleece blankets, towels, bleach, and scouring pads. They let us go into the visitors center where they have owls, hawks, and eagles. The animals that live there are not able to be released back into the wild. They take in all sorts of wild animals, with the hope of fixing them up and releasing them. A few years ago we had found 4 baby ducklings, we brought them to Sarvey where they were fed and released when they were old enough.

We had the pleasure of being hissed at by this owl. I love owls.

Gerald is still sick

Gerald started showing symptoms of his pasteurella a few days ago, so I got more medication from the vet. He only takes his medicine with a small bit of mashed banana, he loves it that way actually. Here is a pic of Gerald two weekends ago, not too often I see him relaxed, he usually runs when I am nearby. He let me get a few pics before he bolted.
Bambi and Cinnamon the same weekend. I think they look so funny with their ears down.

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.
