Do You Believe in "Magic"?

[Little Bay Poo]

I just wanted to say that I love your youtube videos! I can tell you've put a lot of time and effort into building the course and training him to do each jump. Magic looks like he's doing really well (I know how hard it is to get a rabbit to follow instructions). It's also really cool that you are taking video of his progress because then you will always be able to look back on it and remember all the good times

Thanks! Yeah it takes me FOREVER to decide which jump combinations I'm going to make/build for a certain training day...and of course I have to decide where to place the jumps, etc. lol.

Yeah it is pretty hard to get him to follow my directions, but he does do very well. He knows right, left, stop and go....well he doesn't know "Go" very well, lol.

Hello everybun!


Today I decided to bring Magic up, because my nephew kept begging me to do so at 11:00 last night...lol. So we set up an exercise pen (VERY LARGE) in the kitchen, laid out some newspaper, and also put two carrots and a water dish in their for Magic.

Usually, Magic doesn't care for "hoomans" when he's up at the house, but today he couldn't stop pestering every*thing* that passed his cage....!! This made me happy, because he REALLY wanted some cuddles and pets! I told my neice and nephew to sit in their with him and they could pet him etc.

I was sitting in their with him after trying to clip his nails (he hates being flipped on his back, and he's my fitt & Show rabbit... I Really need to work with him!) and well, you know how cats lay with their front paws over your leg, and their rears on the floor?! Well, Magic did that to me! He just laid their for quite a while, whilst I pet and stroked him. I was SO happy.

Then after that, he sprawled out next to Kalea's ex.pen and started falling asleep while I pet him and groomed him (don't worry, with a brush, not my tongue ) It was sooo adorable! No, I didn't get pictures/vid. because my camera wasn't working and I had to take the bunnies back out to the rabbitry and clean the house before my mom got home with the batteries! but I will take some pictures of Magic, Kalea and the others later today, so you'll have some pictures in about a few hours, ok? Lol.

Ok, so if you haven't read my other blog about Sippi yet, you should probably do so here: http://rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=29619&forum_id=6I've updated it today with a story and picture of Sippers! :brownbunny

Anyway, Magic couldn't stop being a love-button today and all he wanted was my undivided (is that right? For some reason it doesn't sound right, lol.) attention. He wanted pets, hugs, kisses, loves, EVERYTHING! Lol. He couldnt' stop kissing me, which was very sweet. :inlove:

I cleaned out his cage, both underneath and inside, and he was very upset when I took away his brown paper! :tongueAs well as when I removed his hay box for clean, fresh hay, he was angry! lol. He was probably like "Where is she going with my posessions!? :huhI've peed and pooped on those! They're mine!" Lol.

I did give him back his hay box, though and he was thankful:bouquet:....I think....:rollseyes

Here's a picture of my guy, happily eating his pellets, grass and oats:

More pictures on the way!! I will take more when I go out in a few hours to check up on Lil'Lea (Kalea).

And here is a video of him, with some preview of Kalea, Autumn, Bruce and some of the other bunnehs! :woohoo



I will update w/ more pictures/stories/videos later! Enjoy!

Very cute pics of Magic. He sounds like a little lover boy. He's doing so good in rabbit hoping too. Have you been training him? I can't wait to see some more videos and all of him jumping!

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Thanks Karlee!

I was going to train him on Friday, but all the bunnies had exercise for about 3 hours each, and he was just pooped afterwards, so I was glad I hadn't put him on the training course.

I have some pictures that I will upload later today of him on Friday. He was such a tired boy


Emily

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

OK, I will have some pictures from Friday's playtime. The bunnies had about 3 hours of exercise on Friday, while we cleaned the rabbitry and ridded it of the nasty bug infestation that we have. We killed quite a lot of the nasty little boogers, so we don't have much left to kill.

We hurried really fast to build all the ex. pens, and make them bunny-safe. Some were bigger than others, and we ran out of NIC cubes, so Magic& Willow had to take turns in a small ex. pen. Whilst one exercised, the other sat in the carrier, still able to enjoy the grass and the fresh air!

Anyway, the bunnies all enjoyed their much deserved playtime! They binkied, dug holes, talked with friends, etc. They had much fun and were VERY exhausted at the end of the day!! They surely must of had a good nights' sleep from all the fresh air they got!

Lily and Kalea got a HUGE ex. pen and Kalea didn't even try nursing on her momma! Yay!

Enjoy the pictures:

Autumn

Artie - He's such a cute little poser!

Savvy! Chomping on some grass

Kalea checking out her FAV toy!

Lily watching out for her baby and enjoying the tunnel!

Bruce diggin a hole

Lily, Kalea and Autumn.

Sippers - If you can't tell what he's doing, he's rubbing his chin on his ex. pen (also Kalea's cage indoors )

Willow, sitting her turn in the carrier before she goes inside.

Magic in his carrier outside.

Oh tired boy! This was after lots of exercise and fun!

My same, verylovey, tired boy!

Autumn porking out on grass, and hay, after her day outdoors. See the grass hanging out of her mouth?

Willow in her cage. She's still longing for the outdoors by the look on her face! (She's looking out through the double doors out into the rabbitry-yard).

Lil'Lea enjoying her hay after spending all day outside

So the bunnies had loads of fun.

Today, Magic & Autumn had a wedding! Magic was a little hard to control, because he was VERY happy that all the girls were around him. He even mauled his flower girl - Savannah. I was picking her up, and he grabbed her fur and all, but no one was hurt. It's hard to explain but you had to be there.

Savannah was the flower girl, and oh my goodness she was great at throwing the bucket! I should of got a video of it. She was soo funny! lol.

So the wedding was very good and all.

Magic has been SUCH the lover boy lately. All he does is give me kisses and hugs and loves. It's very adorable. He really knows that I'm his mommy and all, and it's soo cute. His bond with me just seems to grow everyday! Today he was coming to me when I called (and I was sitting on the floor and he was in his cage up high) and he would look down at me and all. I was saying "Jump Magic, are you gonna jump?" because it looked like he wanted to jump into my arms. lol.

Well, I think I left you guys with plenty of stories and pictures for today!

Enjoy!
Emily

 

[trailsend]

OMG you had a wedding!!

I think Artie is just way too cute for his own good. I love the name too it's just all too much cuteness! Great pictures of the buns.

So when should I expect you to show up here? :biggrin2:

 

[FallingStar]

Awww, those pics of all the buns are soo cute! I love them all.

The wedding was perfect! Savvy did a perfect job at throwing the flower bucket around. Magic was very happy. Poor Savvy though. Getting almost raped.

But anyways, the wedding was very cute. Except Sippi not being able to see cause you sat in front of him. Haha. :biggrin2:

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Yes trailsend, we did have a wedding lol. I'm sure it would of been horrible if Karlee (FallingStar) hadn't been there helping us! Lol. Well, let's see, I can arrange a trip to Ontario this summer! Lol. I'd LOVE to come to your place!

Karlee, i know lol. haha Sippi will get over it! lol.

Hey everyone! I haven't updated in a while, so I thought I would.

I haven't trained Magic in some time, but hopefully he'll get out and work on his newly painted jumps! that's right! Yesterday] me, my sister, and Karlee (FallingStar) got to work on painting all of Magic's jumps really nicely. (Don't worry, I'll get pics of them all when they're done!). They are all painted white, with stripes, crosses, or splatterpaint decoratively painted on them to make them more unique. They are going to be gorgeous when all finished and we have to finish them all today!

Yay! Thankfully, the weather is cooperating quite a bit so hopefully we'll be able to finish the painting quickly and without rain!

Magic is probably sooo anxious to get back out on the jump course! Oh wait, did I say probably!? I mean he IS! The other day, I had him out on the grooming stand, and he was constantly standing up against the wall that seperates our part of the shed from my mom's boyfriend's part. The wall doesn't touch the roof, so it leaves about a foot gap between the wall & roof. Well, Magic Leapt into the air and tried to jump over this wall! Luckily he didn't make it and I was right there when he did it, and when he came down, I just kind of grabbed his face with my right hand, and his rump with my left hand to stop him from landing on his neck. He came down head first, and almost tumbled off the side of the grooming stand. If I had walked over to get something, or do something, and he had done that, he probably would have fell right onto the ground and hurt himself.! :shock:

Fortunately, he's ok. After that, I took him out on the jump course. He wouldn't jump the biggest jump, but he did do two smaller ones. When he didn't jump the big one (he just kept digging, wanting to wander off) I got kind of worried, that maybe, since he hasn't been out in a while, he probably forgot everything! So he really needs to get back out and get training! Especially since the Spring Youth Fair is next weekend and he's jumping both Sat. and Sunday!

Well, I think that's enough for a story, but here's a picture of him after the show last weekend:

I love how he's sitting! He's just enjoying being home from such a long day!

Anyway, today when he jumps, I'm just going to work on some small jumps. Nothing too big or anything. I'll work him back up to the big jumps. Since Spring Youth Fair has small jumps, I want him to know that he will be able to jump them, etc. He's used to jumping long jumps or high jumps that are about 26 inches now, so I'll bring him back down to a minimum of 8 inches, with a maximum of 15 inches. That should get him back into gear, and then I'll just have to continue working him back up.

Wow I haven't updated this in forever, so I'm sure it's time I should!

Lately I've been taking Magic out and training him. He's been doing very good on the course. He's so good at following commands - he knows, right, left, and when I click my tongue he goes forward! He's just like a pony! Hehe. He has been doing excellent with his jumping too! He doesn't fake out before jumping and he's been more apt to jump the scarier jumps too, which I'm proud of.

It's adorable how he stands up and looks at how he's going to approach a jump before he actually jumps it.

I'll have to get some video and pictures of his training session later this evening.

I'm not sure I've mentioned this, but Magic is soo picky! He-hates- it if you put grass or hay in his food dish! He'll dig it out....apparently only pellets, treats andsome greens are allowed in his food dish!

Of course, he hasn't lost hisaffection towardsme!Healways greets me at his cage door forkisses and pets.

Here's some pictures from Memorial Day Weekend and somefromJune 18th.- yah it was a while ago, but they're the latest pictures I have of him! -

- Eating his salad!

- Whatcha got for me?

- Aren't I adorable?

- Just relaxing with me.



Here's also a video of the rabbitry and introducing the bunnies. Their's sound on this video! Also shows our set-up and training course!



Enjoy! I'll update later with some more pictures and videos!

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Wow! It's been a while since I've updated this!! About 4 months, lol!

Magic has been doing very good lately - many of you remember his bout of Gastric Stasisa few months ago:imsick:- he's been fully recovered for a while now, although in October he showed signs of getting it again, but luckily we stepped in quickly and were able to prevent it.

He is starting to get much more affectionate:inlove::kiss1: than he has been in the past few months!! He always wants his cage door open and will beg for kisses!! It's so cute!:blushan: This morning he was kissing the camera!! Aww! I will definitley get a video of it tonight when I go to feed them

His jumping has been going excellent as well and he's been putting that to use for when he's in his exercise pen! By jumping over the easily-cleared NIC panel (Which is only 12" high, an easy task for Magic to complete! lol) So I had to solve that problem by putting a "lid" or "fence" on top of it so he wouldn't escape any more:

<<See the covered pen to the bottom left? That's Magic's pen, lol. You can actually see him in it too, hehe.:biggrin2:

He is starting to get more antsy aboutbeing fed, too. He will throw tantrums if you don'tfeed him, and he'll pace around in his cage whenhe knows you have the food, lol. I think it's because he's on a diet and is only get halfof1/3 a cup of food 2x daily. :eats:

He is actually picking up onhis litter-box habitsvery well, too!:litterhealthy: Im very impressed by that! He uses it mostly to pee in, and he poohs some init but also on the wire, so it drops onto the pan.Hopefully he'll get fully trained all the way and then hewilllearn how to use it inside! Time to convince Mom to let him live indoors! Lol. :biggrin2:

I actually had her thinking about letting Sippi move in, (although he's no where near as good with his litter-box habits, as Magic is)....she couldn't say no toMagic if he was litter-trained! I already haveplans for where I'd put his cage and how I'd do it too!- 3-story high NIC cage where myTV is; I'd put a huge table over the the NIC cageto set my TV and accessories on....then I'd get a stool like Khermann has for Toby and hopefully Magic would wake me up in the mornings! Lol....(yes, I'm jealous of Khermann!)

Okay, that's enough writing, here's some Magic pictures!
The first few were taken a few weeks ago, and then they just keep getting more recent, lol.

<<My sister took this pic...that's why he's shy, lol.

I love this picture! It's currently my desktop background!

He seems to know how cute he is...he's bragging! "Oh I know...I'm sooo handsome" :biggrin2:

not to sure about the dandelion stem - the flower was tasty, tho. lol

This was a "Heat of the Moment" shot. lol. I love the look on his face! So cute!

"Ahem!" lol. :disgust:

I think he's trying to impersonate another breed here....anyone guess which one? lol.

He doesn't look to happy that he's making me happy by giving me cuddles, lol!

He's thinking....

Enjoy! More to come later! lol.

 

[FallingStar]

Wow, wow, wow! I love his blog! It's awesome.

He takes such good pictures, when bunnies always move or look away.. Lol.

But I'm so glad that he got over Gastric Stasis, I thought Noel had it a couple of days ago, so I found your old post and got everything on that list! Hehe.

But it needed up she didnt have it..:baghead

Anyways, Magic is such a cute boy! Keep us updated!

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Thanks Karlee! I do have some new pictures from tonight's feeding...the lighting in the shed didn't allow a very picture when I took a video, so ya'll just have to wait until tomorrow, lol.

Yikes! I'm glad that Noel didn't have it! God thing you were able to find out about it and so you would be prepared

Emily

 

[FallingStar]

Your welcome! Lol. That's cool, you should post them.

I love looking at pictures of bunners..

And yeah, I was glad too. But I'm not sure what was wrong with her, maybe not a good day.

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Ok. I will add them in a sec once they're done uploading from my camera and then onto photobucket, lol.

Yeah, probably so. Give her a hug for me :hug:

Emily

 

[BlueCamasRabbitry]

Ok, here are the new pictures of Magic from today! The first one is of him eating his pellets this morning. Sorry for them being kinda blurry :?

He thought the flashlight was pretty cool! Lol

I was just snapping as many pics as I could....lol

Giving me kisses :inlove:
