Bailey went bonkers for her new toy today. Here is my first video of Bailey. Listen for her crazy fun noises she makes.

So cute! Frida makes noises like that if you get in "her" space, in particular a pet tent with doggy bed in the bottom that she is constantly remodeling. I'm glad she's coming in to her own assertive personality!

she seems to just make that noise when she plays with her toys. lol I guess maybe she is dominating it or something.

It seemed like it happened just over night. I didn't know really what to expect. It's the first time I've experienced this.
.....



Bailey has started her first shed.
I guess I thought since I had her since the beginning of February, she wasn't going to have one. i thought maybe just the normal brushings I was giving her was keeping any shedding problems away. But yesterday morning, I bent over to pet her and instantly, fur clinged to my face, my nose and somehow got into my mouth. The harder I tried to get the fur off of my face, the worse it got. I looked down at Bailey and there was a hand print where I pet her. "Oh My Gawd!" There was a cloud of fur in the air. Is Bailey shedding or is she just dying starting with her fur? I ran to get the brush and here is just round 1 of brushing....we did several rounds of emptying the brush over and over. I bet I could have made Bailey a furry rabbit friend with all the fur that came off of her.

Bailey's First Shed: Round 1 of brushing

It's so weird that I have a chocolate brown rabbit, yet all her fur is gray when it's brushed up. When I look closely, she has all gray fur, but just the tips are brown. what a weird rabbit. lol

Well....Now I know what everyone was complaining about when shedding time came!

Imagine 15 bunny'sdoing it around the same time!

I have a french lop Rudy, whom I brush and brush and I will fill up a small bag with it. When I go into the bunny room, fur is on top of the cages, on the walls, drapes etc.

*shudder*....I'm so glad I just have 1 rex and I hear rex's are the least shedding rabbits. lol but it's just so fine and small, that it just goes airborn and sticks to my face, in my nose and everything...yuck. I'll just stick with the 1 rabbit, then lol

I took Bailey out on the back porch to do a brushing session outside. Of course, no matter which way I faced, the fur still flew into me and not the other way. lol Bailey seemed interested in exploring. This is her second time ever outside. So I grabbed the camera.

First, she went to say hi to Jaymie who was sunbathing.

Then she ran around in the dirt, sniffed a few plants but didn't nibble, and chewed on the mortar of the brick columns...she's so weird. lol

I'm glad to hear that Bailey is doing well.
Most rabbits shed 4 times a year alternating a heavy and a light molt.
I guess the fact that we have 2 golden retrievers is what makes the rabbit hair not seem like a big deal.

 

[sharper]

Oh I hope this is a heavy molt... I'd hate to see that if this was a light one...yikes

 

[Elf Mommy]

I love Baily, of course....BUT!!! Your Boston is ADORABLE!!! I may have to puppynap that one! hehe

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Umm.... look out cause that might be a light molt LOL! Sorry!
Be careful also that you don't brush too hard with the metal curry. They have such sensitive skin!

I edited your photos so that it was easier to see them. Always put a space between img urls.

I love her! :hearts:
