"Elvira, my heart's on fire for Elvira.
Giddy up, oom poppa oom poppa mow mow"
lol those aren't the lyrics in order, thats just been in my head all night! hahaha.
So as it turns out, I'm an over bearing bunny mom! lol I checked on Elvira several times last night, I wanted to make sure she was okay. New night in a new house/cage. She was fine. Every time I went into check on them, Elvira would look at me like "okay woman, you've been in here enough. Let me eat my hay in peace!" And Foo would be like "mom, what are you doing? Its the middle of the night, turn that stinking light off!"
I put a box in there for her with the elephant stuffy that Foo refuses to do anything with. I put some hay in there for her too. She went right in! She is a brave little bunny. haha. I think she's pretty smart too. Since the cage is plastic bottomed with the high sides, I can only get the water bottle so low on it. She can reach it from the bottom on the cage just fine, but she's found out that its easier to drink the water if she puts her front feet on the edge of the litter box. lol And no she won't drink out of a water bowl, I've tried so I didn't have to give her that bottle since it has a little leak. She drinks a lot of water though, has lots of poops and is eating lots and lots of hay!
And now for Foo. Chris, you were right! She is jealous! She doesn't understand whats going on. I gave her a bite of banana this morning and told her I love her. Hopefully she doesn't think I'm abandoning her tomorrow when I drop her off at the vets office.
Jenny, I don't have a scale
I've never needed one before! But I might look today when I go to the store and see about getting one. She does feel like she weighs nothing, but she doesn't feel boney at all. I also feel her tummy when I pick her up and it always feel squishy and never tight or anything. I so worry about GI issues.
I know it is funny I was using a dutch emoticon and then I end up with a little dutchie! I was just talking about dutches with someone on here who breeds them, I love them so much! I like her especially because she isn't perfect and half her little nose is white!
How many rabbits do you have Jenny? If my memory serves me right the bun in your avatar is Dash, but I don't think I know how many other rabbits you have! lol
Now I'm going to let Foo out, so she can be free for a whole day before she goes to the vet! I need to go to the store in a few too, to get her some greens, special ones to eat before and after her spay!
Oh, Foo has pooped ALL over her new cage! I know she is just marking it. But there are only like 2 poops in her litter box! She hasn't peed in the cage or anything, only in the box. I put her fur blanket in her cage with her so it smells like her. Even before I had everything in her cage that was hers, I put her litter box in there to see where it needed to go and she went in and used it! Right away! lol She's so smart too.
One more thing! I know babies can't have greens until they're 12 weeks or older, I'll probably wait longer than that though. Especially since I think she was weaned too early, I don't want to destroy her stomach and cause issues later on down the line. So I have that planned out, but I wanted to say that its SO weird to only give greens to Foo! Like when I gave her her salad last night, I felt like I was leaving the baby out! I didn't give her anything, so don't worry. And this morning when I gave Foo some banana, I felt like I was leaving the Elvira out by not giving her any. lmao I know that sounds nuts. But for me its strange. I share my food with my son, my husband, my animals. So when I only give my food to one animal when two are looking at me, it throws me a little. lmao
