Jubilee escaped from the rabbit room this morning.:grumpy: I obviously didn't zip tie the NIC panels on to the baby gate very well, because she got between the panel and the gate and chewed a much larger hole. Thankfully, she hadn't gotten into the main part where the TV & desktop are. When she tried to hop away from me she hopped into a dead end. I just sat down and called her and she came right to me.:biggrin2: She doesn't like getting picked up, but she's happy to stay in my arms once I've got her.

Storm was sitting in one of their litter boxes the whole time, giving me a look that said "I didn't do it, Mama. I'm the good one!" lol

After I put Jubilee back in the room, I sat down and really secured the NIC panels to the gate (to the wood this time). Storm sat in my lap the whole time, facing out so she could supervise. Jubilee did some binkies, tried to climb my back and then did a DBF right in front of me. It totally made my heart skip a beat! LOL I knew what she was doing, but it still scared me half to death. I guess escaping is harder work than I thought.

Jubilee might or might not be part mountain goat. She has climbed the summit of my back a dozen times already today. I was on my hands and knees, rearranging their towels and she climbed right up. She didn't jump down when I started to move, so she got a little ride. She is also the queen of the DBF. Storm is much more laid back and likes to snuggle in my lap when I'm studying. I :hearts: snuggles.

I'm waiting to hear back from someone on craig'slist about a jute rug that would cover the entire floor in the bunny room. Best of all, they are giving it away for free! Hopefully, 8 bunny feet and 4 sets of crossed fingers are enough!

I'm trying to find a local source for hay that doesn't require me to buy a literal ton. LOL I know the girls go through hay quickly, but not that quickly! I brought home some Oxbow orchard grass and they both went wild for it! I think the funniest thing is when one binkies & it startles the other one, so she does a binky in response. Storm did something I've never seen before- she did a hop from a periscope position. Wild! New pics soon...

 

[Wabbitdad12]

A hop from a periscope position, that had to be something to see!

 

[sharlaelizabeth]

If only she would do it again, but this time when I have my camera. lol

Nothing much is going on around here, although it has hailed the last two days. Winter is starting early, I guess.

They love having free roam of their room, and I can tell they both want to explore the rest of the basement. I just haven't done any bunny-proofing, so it's not going to happen for a while. Maybe Veteran's Day or Thanksgiving weekend when I have an extra day off from school. That's probably when I will add a third story to their NIC cage as well.

I don't have any pictures of the current setup, but it's a 4x3x2 pen with a shelf on the back & right side. I'll be moving the shelf to the left side & litter box & food to the right. I think the 3rd story will actually be a 3rd & 4th, but I haven't worked it out exactly right in my head. There is a window on the left side of their cage & I want to build it up high enough that they can look out if it, if they wanted.

o your girls are sooo beautiful, the dont even look real look like little stuffed bunnys

 

[sharlaelizabeth]

We all say thanks! :bunnydance: I find them to be pretty darn cute, myself. I got the most amazing pictures of them last night! I'll get them posted some time today.

Some different pictures of the girls:

only the cool kids get to hang out in there:

This picture requires the background story. I was studying at my desk and happened to look back at the girls to see Jubilee in the "groom me, please!" position. Storm obviously wasn't in the mood and flopped right on top of Jubilee's head.

 

[Kohana]

Aww they are both so beautiful! I love their ears

 

[myheart]

If this isn't disapproval, I don't know what is...!!!

Your babies look so sweet together. Must be true-love with all of their cuddling.

I'm going to try and get a video of them taking a ride on my back. I think it's just part of our cleaning routine now.

 

[sharlaelizabeth]

Basil is hit! I think Jubilee puts herself in a sort of mini-trance in order to be able to chew faster. lol I could see her wheels spinning the first time I gave it to them- "Oh! Must finish before Storm!!" Because Storm usually finishes first and then tries to finish Jubilee's food.

They really don't like getting picked up. I'm not sure how to get them more comfortable with it, but I need to. They love to climb all over me, but clearly it has to be their idea.

I finally managed to clip their nails! Despite the fact that I have an 8" long scratch on my neck/chest I will call it a complete success. I did Jubilee's nails first. She is so cute. I tranced her, but she kept startling out of it. I had to trance her at least once per foot. But it went really well & she loves her craisins.

Storm was a little more challenging. She is definitely stronger than Jubilee. I had to snug her in really close, but once I got her tranced she stayed that way until I got to the very last nail, so I had to do it again.

Jubilee let me hold her and pet her after I finished, but Storm wanted nothing to do with that, hence the big scratch. And Storm has no interest in craisins. I think I'll get some yogurt treats & see if those go over better.

They have both been scratching their ears a lot, so I checked for evidence of ear mites but I didn't see anything. I'm making a vet appt. for a general check up today or tomorrow. I didn't hit the quick at all, but that's probably because I went conservative with how much I took off. I need a better quality pair of clippers and we'll try again in a few days.

Nothing much going on around here. I'm waiting for Thanksgiving weekend so that I can rebuild their cage. And I'm really just avoiding making some boring, repetitive business calls and finishing homework. :juggle

I got up this morning, stumbled into the kitchen to start a pot of coffee. As I was standing there, waiting for it to finish brewing I noticed there was something weighty atop my foot. I managed to pry one eyelid open and looked down to see Jubilee loafing on my foot. As my brain requires a minimum of 16 oz. of coffee to function, it took me slightly more than a moment to realize the issue.

The issue: Bunny room is in the basement, directly beneath my bedroom. Kitchen is at the opposite end of the house on the same floor as my bedroom. Jubilee was in the diagonally opposite room of where she was supposed to be.

More pressing issue: I have not finished bunny-proofing the basement, let alone the main floor. I was sincerely hoping that the stairs would be too intimidating. HA!

I have clearly been warned. A bun slave must never relax in their duty to serve.
