Thanks everyone for reading my blog and your nice comments! :biggrin2:
I know!! Isn't it just amazing how calm and chilled out she is?! I'm still shocked, I've never met a little bunny like this who just plops down where ever you put her as cool as a cucumber. Even when we make loud sudden movements or noises, she doesn't bat an eyelash. Just amazing!
My bf was watching bunny videos on youtube.com (I love it! I've gotten this tough construction guy hooked! :biggrin2, but he came across this horrible video a snake owner put up. I'm sure you can guess what it is about. I felt my stomach drop out hearing that and instructed him to leave a comment to the person that they are evil to enjoy owning a pet that requires them to feet it smart and wonderful creatures like bunnies. Sick SICk SICK! Honestly, if I ever met a snake owner in person and they told me they did this, I would have to summon all of my will-power to not smack them, truly! :? It's one thing for creatures like this do their thing in the wild, naturally hunt, but to happily watch them doing these things and supply it all the time is something I will NEVER get. People who own those kinds of pets will forever creep the heck out of me and I won't ever like them. :X
Now I'm afraid to look at anymore bunny youtube videos (which is one of my favorite past times) out of fear I might come across videos like that!
Sorry, had to vent about that. These kinds of things make me so heart sick because my bunnies are my special precious little children that mean the world to me as I'm sure is the same for everyone on here.

The vet gave Max a 100% clean bill of health! Hurray!!
It is so nice to know he's completely healthy *Long sigh of relief!*. The vet thinks it may have been the temporary switch to the new pellet I bought by accident. I was so tired and rushed when I went to the pet store, I thought it was a timothy based pellet and after using it, soon realized it contained alfalfa, grains, and ground carrot. Eeps! Too rich! So Max is getting switched over to oxbow BBT asap.
This was a good wake up call to be more careful with brands and stick with what's best and trustworthy. Nutriphase is junk unless you have a pregnant doe.

Since bringing Minnie home on Sunday night, we were both especially nervous that Max might become jealous of her or feel like he was getting replaced. Poor little guy. Sunday night and Monday night were the worst, he was definitely very mad at us and was clearly going through stolen-mommy-and-daddy-syndrome with lots of aggresion, biting, boxing every time he saw us with her or smelled her scent on us .
(He looks so pitiful in this pic, doesn't he? Feeling scared he might be being replaced. Poor baby!) :inlove::?
Looking a little scaredy about the new bunny smells
We really want them to get along so they will bond down the road a ways, so we've been VERY careful to give Max 2/3rd of snuggle time and personal attention to every 1/3rd the baby gets and he's much happier with this. He doesn't feel like his mommy and daddy are being stolen from him so much anymore. Now he won't hesistate to demand that every snuggle she gets, his has to be even longer. Every couch play time session she gets, his has to feel like he got everything she did while out playing.. lol. And we're happy to oblige, he's our special little ornery booger troublemaker. Things wouldn't be the same without him keeping us on our toes.
Grumpy about having to share HIS couch play times with another bunny. How DARE we bring a new bunny home! hehe
I've been making it a habit to touch Minnie or clean her litter box before going to pet Max, so he gets used to her scent and it seems to be working well, at least so far. Now when my hand smells like her, he rubs his face against it.
I'm thrilled to announce a little change in behavior I noticed that started last night and has continued since every time Max has couch play time. He isn't dropping any poos when he's sniffing the baby's scent like he did the first two nights. Instead, he's chinning everything he smells her on and rubbing his cheeks against them! No poos! To me this is saying maybe he actually likes her and doesn't feel territorially threatened anymore? *crosses fingers!!*. I hope so, that would be very exciting!
In other news, Max is officially on a little diet. Doctor says it would be good for him to trim up a tad, so he's now on 1/8 cup pellets, unlimited hay, and 2 cups veg. No more rich pellets for you, mister.
And, Minnie has been pooing in her litter box ALL BY HERSELF for two whole days now and peeing in her litter box too!!! :woohoo
Although, she still pees sometimes on the towels we have laid out when she's playing on our couch, but I'm so thrilled she is going wee in her box too! I'm SO proud of my little girl!!
Of course, Travis laughed at me because when I realized what she was doing (weeing in her litter and lots of fresh poos too on her own!) I jumped up and down with glee and clapped my hands. Lol!

Congratulations on your new disapproving addition!
She's got such a wonderfully disapproving face... Can't wait for more pics!
It is so much fun having a new bun to get to know, isn't it?
It must be hard for you to focus on other things! (it was for me )

Okie-dokie. I promised Jess_sully I would post pics of my current cage set ups for Max and baby Minnie. For Max's cage, I bought 14" NIC panels, yes I know it will need to be rebuilt eventually due to the larger square problem (the package should have said: comes in 2 sizes, lol ).. Although max's head is so wide at his jaw he can't stick his head out past his jaw line.. so it cannot even reach his neck or even go over his ears, just over his nose up to the base of his eyes. He never sticks his head out of them now, but did the first hour we put him into it (while I was going Oh ****! watching it )
His cage is quadruple duty with zip ties about every 1/2-1 inch.. he enjoys testing every cage I put him into and trying to find a loop hole we missed. He's too smart for my sanity sometimes! Hahaha. It measures 42 L by 28 W by 14 H. Max is little so he can stand up on his hind legs when inside, he weights about 4lbs. Two front doors, secured with 1 carabiner on each door and 1 small lock for when he needs to be closed inside.
Minnie's cage measures 33 L by 22 W by 19 H. She weight just under 1 lb at the moment.
Please excuse the remodeling stuff on the right on Minnie's current cage location and mess.. we've had window installers and moulding installers coming and going all week (and tracking wood debris and wet dirt on my white carpetullhair:ullhair and have yet to remove all the leftovers and straighten up every room they worked in :biggrin2:. On top of new cages and a new baby! Ok, ok, so we're actually just total slobs and I just made that all up, lol. Just kidding!!
Pics:
Minnie's cage (Max's first cage.. elevated on wheels for easy moving, open top). These cages sell at Petco for way way too much, but I got mine off craigslist for $25 (love craigslist!!).
Max's cage:
Caught being bad. He chews on his bars every time we get him a new cage.. he'll chew on the bars on and off for 2-3 weeks. Then he'll stop. I think his bar chewing has been upped a bit by his wanting to check out the new baby more than we'll let him. The vet warned we should use a spray bottle or anything we can to stop this as much as possible because really hard wood blocks, hard big sticks, and metal run the risk of possibly chipping/breaking their teeth. Just FYI . He specializes in rabbit care and is one of the best in Portland, so I trust his opinions.
:big kiss:
P.S.
I bought their food and water bowls in this style because I've tried crocks, bowls, water bottles, you name it and Max finds a way to knock it over and dump his water all over the place. The plastic is too slick for him to bite and the wider base makes it impossible for him to knock over. JOY!
Also the electrical outlet is completely taped over with cleark packing tape, just to be safe.
And just to keep the "too small cage" nay-sayers at bay, both of these kids have access to a big open kitchen for running and playing as well as playing space in our second bedroom and couch play times. Seriously, sometimes it feels like they have more space than we do.

I forgot to mention, Minnie has a NIC cage the same as Max's. But after the next 2-3 months, once she's fully grown and they eventually bond, we'll be building a 3x3x3 with the 14" panels for both to live in.

I see it more clearly now
The grid-size issue is definitely a pain. To build Flynn's 4x2x2 cage, I had to use three boxes, but had a LOT of the bigger grids left over. Flynn can fit his entire head out the bigger-squares so I had ot be really careful to only use them on the sides that are against the wall.
Wait a minute, so you DO have workers in your house, or you don't? lol.
I'm sure they'll love the bigger cage(s) in the future!
And I love those cages like Minnie's, but yes, they are SO expensive.
I need to try that bowl with Flynn... he always knocks over his water bowl!

Lol, well we're going room by room since most of them needed some serious help, most of which we're doing ourselves to cut costs (Eeep! hahah) so it's been slow going. I never thought I'd be learning how to install counter tops and reface cabinets and replace light fixtures, sinks, and some plumbing.. :shock::biggrin2:. The best thing of all is that I actually managed to do a good job, I didn't total mess it all up! YAY! We were going to save the remaining few rooms for the spring since it is too cold and wet now to worry about it, but then we realized our windows were leaking and had to be replaced. Never ends! So back to calling workers out and what not . Owning a home is sooooo much fun.. haha . It's nice having a home to use as you wish, but man it can suck having to pay for everything wrong with it! :shock:
I found those bowls at the Dollar Store! Petco sells identical ones for $5.00+. <3 dollar store finds :biggrin2:.
Minnie is still happy to pee on nearly every single towel we put her on for play time romps. So I've been getting to wash a whole bunch of towels, yay! Silly girl. She now poops in her litter box most of the time, but consistently weeing in it is taking longer to catch on completely :headsmack. Her bladder is so little we try to give her wee breaks every 10 minutes. But there have been a couple of times where she jumped right into her litter box, we brought her back out when she was all done, and soon after she wees on her play towel. Lol!
The little rascals are keeping their mommy busy! :biggrin2:

My blog has been badly overdo for an update. I always get so caught up in other's blogs and keeping up with forum news that I don't want to wait on uploading photos, lol .
Minnie has now been with us for just about 3 weeks and already she is growing like a weed! I don't have a scale, but it looks like she's already up a pound or two. We're still working out a few little kinks with her feeling safe when we hold her even though she was like a little bean bag when we held her for the first time. I'm really glad I decided to get her, I'm loving having two opposite bunny personalities around the house- a calm snuggle bun for no energy days, and a very attitudey energetic goofball for keeping things interesting!
Even though Minnie is calm and chilled out, she is quite spunky and willful! You remember that cardboard house (pic shown in previous post) I made for Max that is in our kitchen? Well Minnie has already decided that this is now her play house and Max can kiss off.. lol. She started throwing it around and nibbling it. I know Max would be fuming if she destroyed his playhouse since he is so careful to not chew on it ever since he loves it so, so now Minnie has her own temporary playhouse in the kitchen too.
I love the life of being a bunny mommy, but it sure is funny when outsider non-bunny people come over. I'm so used to having 1/3 of our kitchen taken up with cardboard bunny houses and the floor littered with bunny blankets, toys, sticks, as well as hay particles or random poos here and there. We had a repair guy come a few days ago and he kept eyeing all the cardboard everywhere, the tons of bunny toys in our kitchen, and I couldn't help but laugh thinking about how odd that must have looked from his perspective! Haha.
I'll upload some new pics of Minnie later today.

Funny your "Max" looks similiar to my "Baxter!" (short name Bax or Bud-bud, don't ask me why) and I grew up in Portland and NEVER knew another there that had a BUN, but knew the citizens were VERY animal friendly.. So good for you and yours.
Look forward to reading your Blog further to see how the buns get along over the years. More photos OR video would be appreciated!

Thanks Julie!! That's so neat that once lived in Portland, too. People really are pretty big on animals around here, it seems like we have a doggy daycare every couple of blocks downtown! Lol. Only bunny people I've met here are from rabbit rescues and such.
Your Baxter is so adorable, I liked your blog a lot.
Thanks for the reminder, must get better at posting pics regularly! Lol.

Minnie in her kitchen play house. It took her a while to realize she could chew on it and tear it up and she wouldn't get in trouble, lol. She such a good little girl. Max's play house is in the opposite corner from her's.
(The red is from a leaf on our poinsettia that snuck in the pic)
The rebel bunny in jail, hehe
It is so much fun to see Minnie coming out of her shell more these days. She can be so timid, I'm not used to it since Max was basically in your face from the get go. You can see her little face is so delighted that she gets to pick up her box and throw it around (making TONS of noise!) without getting into trouble.
It is really impressive how much noise a little bunny can make with just a cardboard box, lol..

BUNNIES PLAYING IN THE SNOW!
I took Minnie and Max out onto our balcony to have their very first time playing in 4 inches of snow. I got such a laugh out of it, they looked so shocked. Minnie looked disgruntled about her feet being wet and cold and that this white stuff kept sticking to her. And Max was very bewildered and wanted back inside where it was nice a dry. Spoiled lil bunnies! The minute I brought Minnie back in and set her in her cage, she gave me a great big WHOMP with her foot. Hahaha.
Is it just me or does Minnie have a striking resemblence to Eeyore from Winnie The Pooh? LOL. My little Eeyore girl.
Minnie still has the "baby walk" sometimes where she takes individual steps with her back feet instead of hopping. SO CUTE. :biggrin2:
Eeyore bunny try-outs!
So curious!
The Rebel Bunny being a WUSS. Hehehe.

It's official! The News reporter announced yesterday that the current snowfall we are getting in Portland is the biggest record snowstorm in the past 60 years!
So far 1.5 feet in 48hrs. My Mom who is 1 1/2 hours East of me has 4 feet of snow in her yard!
Travis and I had fun spending 1 hour de-icing his truck so we could stock up on groceries in case we get more snow. The ice on his windows and windshield was HALF AN INCH THICK!
The weather guys says by Thursday we'll know if we're getting more snow or if it will warm up to rain and melt.
In the meantime I'm enjoying the prettiness of my winter wonderland!
