Just wanted to add that Duchess is doing great!! I can tell she is feeling much better; however, I don't know how to make her eat more pellets. She seriously only eats a few a day :?She's crazy about hay and greens, though.

Also, I've been basically letting her have the run of my room, and she loves it! She and I are really bonding too...like, she now comes RUNNING to me when I put my index finger on the ground and call to her. Then, once she's near me, she DEMANDS head rubs!

I've been slowly allowing Mr. Evey and Duchess time together, but he humps her too much so I have to break it up since it's only been a few days since her spay. But, before he humps, they lick each other's faces. I don't know much about bonding, but I think it's a good start.

Tomorrow (Sunday) I'm going to the shelter to meet those girls. I hope all goes well. My mom is excited, lol. She's being really supportive in my rabbit decisions, even if my dad wasn't too thrilled.

It really sounds like everything is working out well! I hope it continues to, and bring on more PICS!

As for the pellets, I don't think they have to be a staple in a rabbits diet if they get the proper balance in nutrition from hay and salads.

Hello!

Duchess continues to be doing well...she's even eating pellets like a "normal" rabbit, lol! I don't know why she started to do it, but two days ago she ate all her pellets, and now it seems to be a trend.

She is a great rabbit...but today I brought Leo home, and she is royally pi**ed at me :?She won't even eat craisins!!

Oh! and here are two cute pictures of her...this is for you, Leaf!
