Ivory and Erik

[Bo B Bunny]

Awwww Ivory

I'm glad there's progress!

Ivory let me pet her! For more than ten minutes! YAY! YAY!

Pictures!

I'm afraid that she's getting a little rotund. I've cut back on the alfalfa.

I'm so happy to read this. I really think she has the potential to become much more loving than she is....it will just take time.

I wonder now how much bunnies will learn from each other and then transfer it - what I mean is - Tiny learned to love me and ask for pets and loved them...and after Miss Bea moved in here - she started allowing me to pet her. Imagine my shock a couple of days ago when she nudged me for a pet - and then ran off scared. I got down on the floor with her and petted her for like 20 minutes and she stayed there the whole time.

I honestly think Tiny taught her that - because he would nudge me for pets all the time...

I wonder how much Ivory is learning from watching Erik & you...

 

[Ivory]

Yeah, I was really surprised! She seems better when she's eating...and she lets me pet her...and clean her eyes. She's got a good heart.

I just have to convince everyone else of it. My parent's don't believe me. They don't like her. (She doesn't like them much either, lol.)

I think she's beautiful which is a lot from me cause I'm not hugely fond of REW's. I used to want one but then I got a castor....

Anyhow, She's got the most gorgeous face! and I think she has a kindness about her.... she's just funny about people touching her - which I am the same way so I understand!! LOL!

Well I had to clip their nails today. Ivory was well-behaved once I picked her up, believe it or not. Erik threw a hissy fit and went crazy. He won't forgive me for a year now, probably.

There Ivory is, enjoying herself.

Also, as many of you have read, much of Ivory's problem is that she is visually impaired.

Look at that pretty baby! She has a fat tummy like a mini-rex I love that!

 

[Ivory]

Actually she's getting rotund, I've been cutting back on the alfalfa hay that they get.

Part of it is typical female rabbit after a spay. But she didn't have a dewlap at ALL when I got her...now she has one.

She could probably stand to lose a pound or two to be honest...but she really doesn't get anything that would really contribute to a lot of weight gain.

So I'll have to see.

I have to say that I'm relieved that their nails are clipped. Clipping albino nails is easy! Clipping Erik's darker nails can be challenging.

Today I went to pet Ivory, but I may have pushed it a little too far. She got really aggressive and just seemed to be wanted to be left alone. She started boxing at my hand and quit eating treats.

However I did get a picture.

You know, Bo gets like that where he will take off and hide. I think some bunnies just get moody.

She's got a cute butt tho!


Erik is a doll, too!

WHEE Erik just gave me a short round of kisses for the first time since November! WE HAVE PROGRESS! ERIK LOVES ME AGAIN! YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!

Ivory hasn't been sociable today. I have a video of her typical reaction, I need to find an uploader thingie....
