I apologize for being gone so long. We have moved to the complex right next to our old one. The actual apartment is bigger than the old one, but the bathrooms are much smaller. This means no more bathroom for Michiko. However, it does not mean Michiko needs to move in to something smaller. We built her an enormous "cage" [playpen] upstairs to live in and she seems to be perfectly content. It's not quite finished, but it's done enough to be inhabited.
Just need to cut and staple the vinyl back in the closet.
She's a little nervous about the change, but she is doing good so far.
We are getting one of
these to close off the half of our living room that's full of electronics so she can come out without worry every night and enjoy time with us downstairs.
Yesterday we had a nasty heat wave come through and while we were building the rabbit cage we were sweating waterfalls and Michiko was suffering pretty badly. She laid down on the new staple gun to get cool even though I put a bag of frozen peas on her, so I rushed her and the dogs down stairs for emergency water and I put her in the kitchen where the floor is cool. She was back to normal in a flash and we went to work on the cage some more a little later. We got an A/C unit for the window [the A/C in this place does not work well and cannot manage to cool down the home at all] and it cooled down fairly quickly. We have the A/C unit running on low now with 2 fans keeping the cool air circulated. I have frozen water bottles ready as well.
Michiko is the hardest of all of our critters to move. Ha ha. But ya know - we love her. She seems to be shedding/getting rid of fur right now as well. You can see how uneven it is so I got a
FurBuster to help her with that. It's the same thing as the Furminator, but $15 cheaper. :biggrin2:
I'm getting her a harness soon. I think she would enjoy the great outdoors. Hey Dave - any suggestions on a harness for a rabbit her size? Should I go for a small dog harness instead of a large rabbit harness? Thoughts from you or anyone are appreciated!
Hope you and your buns are well!
We actually resorted to stuffing pillows anywhere she could have access to wires. HA HA HA! But she incessantly digs at them or finds another way around. Crazy girl!
