Boz's Rascally Rabbits of 2009

[Boz]

I had this dream last night that I was at an arcade and for 10 tickets you could win a live baby bunny. I won one but then I wanted to win more to get them out of there! Then all of a sudden the bunnies were cats and they were white and pink! There were a bunch all squished (unrealistically) in a 10 gallon tank. Then they were bunnies again and I told my brother and the other person (another friend I can't remember) to start playing the games! And I was thinking in my dream "Omg wait till I tell RO!"

Lol! So, you're another person whose life revolves around the Forum

They're called Bunny Abode Condos. We got 9 of them early last year. They are great for the bunnies at the shelter! They are roomier.

Oh and I found out her name! It's Buttercup.
And I found out yesterday that another one of the bunnies might be going to a forever home!

Little Buttercup kind of looks like Luna did when Naturestee took her from the shelter... fat body with little stick legs. Does she seem malnourished, or does it seem like her people took care of her?

She is very pretty.... I wish someone would want her and Andy Allen as a couple. Imagine two tortie Dutches running around! :shock:The confusion would never end!!

Jan - Pretty much! I had another dream with the forum related to it I think... but I can't remember what it was!

Rebecca - Yeah, I think an Cube Condo is cheaper to make!

Janet - I think she's malnourished. Her fur is very coarse, could that be caused from malnourishment? She also had a little bit of a dirty butt.. Could have been from her previous diet of too much protien and bad nutrition. Sadly we know nothing of her past. She was left in front of petsmart.
I think she was in a fight with another rabbit at some point in her life. She has a scar on her ear on the same place as Domino from when Domino got in a fight with Marley (Marley got into her cage a while back).

Poor little Buttercup!!! I think Naturestee had said that Luna had a pot-belly, coarse hairs, and scaley ears. She also had major dental issues so she couldn't eat properly. I think her mouth was all cut up from molar spurs. A few dental grindings, some good pain meds, and good food straightend Luna out. Thankfully, Naturestee saw how bad off Luna was and nursed her back to health!

I do hope someone will do the same for little Buttercup.... ray:

This next weekend there's this Earth Day event. I was asked to come along and bring a bunny! But since I'll be there from about 9:30am till 4pm I'm going to take a bunny in the morning and another in the afternoon. I may bring her, but she is getting spayed on Tuesday, so I don't know if she'd be up to it. I guess I'll see how she's feeling.

 

[Boz]

er let me explain that better!
There's an Earth day even at this place and the shelter was invited to come or something like that. So then another lady asked me if I'd like to come along and bring a bunny. I said yes! Supposedly this is a big event!

 

[Boz]

Whooo! I did some "remodeling" tonight. Pictures tomorrow! Bed time now.

Oh and Domino's birthday is tomorrow!

 

[kherrmann3]

Today? Happy B-Day, Domino! How old are you?

 

[Boz]

Domino is four! Happy Birthday Domino! I didn't get her anything, I don't know what to get her! But I had an idea for her and Dolla (since Dolla's birthday is in a couple days).

 

[myheart]

Happy Birthday Domino!!!!

arty:arty:arty:

(I hope you at least gave her a little extra of her favorite snack, if you didn't get her anything...)

Or you could give her a nose rub from me... :biggrin2:

I make cardboard box condos for my bunnies. I also tend to get them something little, like a new toy or wicker basket to destroy.

 

[LuvaBun]

HAPPY, HOPPY BIRTHDAY, DOMINO arty:

 

[Boz]

Thanks everyone! And that's from Domino! hehe

Posting pictures once they upload!

Louie's old cage.

Domino begging for treats.

Domino and Dolla's Old cage, taken a part some.

Marley, begging and just being a goof.

Domino and Dolla's "Half"

Louie's "Half"

The full cage.

Soo.... yes. I'm atempting to bond Domino and Dolla to Louie! Once bonded, the split in the cage will be taken down and they'll share the full cage. I really like having most of it only two panels deep. It's SO much easier to clean.



But now here's my new thoughts:
Marley is by herself. She doesn't get along with Domino and Dolla. And instead of possibly ruining Domino and Dolla's bond, why not try and bond Louie and Marley?
The thing is, I'm not sure how this will work. Louie is typically laid back (well from what I have experienced so far) and Marley is pushy. Do you think that Louie being a boy and more laid back would help bonding him to Marley? I can tell he really wants to be with another bunny. He adores Dolla and loves to be by her when I let them have a little play time together. He even groomed her but Domino isn't so pleased yet.

Should I try bonding Marley and Louie? Marley is nearly 3 times bigger then him though. That worries me a little. Ahh! I don't know!

I have enough panels to build Louie a cage to put in Marley's cage (since dividing her cage in half would be a little hard).

Any thoughts? :?

I wish I had some advice, I'm having trouble letting some buns out at the same time with no fighting. Max would give anything for a friend, but none of them like him enough

Good Luck! If you have any sucess please share!! I'd love to know what you did.

 

[LuvaBun]

My first thought was 'Yes, try and bond him to Marley', but then I saw that he really likes Dolla and they get along together. However, if Domino isn't so keen to accept him, I think I would still try and bond him with Marley first. If it doesn't look like it is going to happen, then at least you know that he and Dolla may get along.

Good luck with whatever you decide

Your Bunnies are all so Adorable.

Gosh I can't believe I have commented on your before.

Thanks for the comments!

I'm not quiet sure what I'm going to do yet. This weekend is a little crazy for me, lots going on!

And tonight I have a visitor....

Meet Cadberry! I believe she's actually Louie's sister. They came in together to the shelter with another little boy who was adopted.

The reason she's here? This weekend is the Adopt-A-Thon at Petsmart and another lady and I went tonight. We wanted to bring a rabbit along but we had one problem, the shelter closes at 4:30! So I asked my mom if it would be okay if she stayed over night here. She said yes. So now she's here! She'll be going back tomorrow morning.

She's real sweet but she has slight cage aggression. When she's in the pen (I took her to another event last Saturday) she a lot better and not so fearful. She's not spayed yet so I'm hoping that once she is she'll calm a little. She's shy at first but she's real nice once she warms up. She's very active and curious and loves exploring!

Her pen for the night.

The plywood is up so that if she were to jump out she couldn't go running around by my other rabbits and get into some mischief.
