Jazz, Carlita, Slipper AND Husker

[lemonaxis]

He is 8 weeks old, he comes from a lady who just has too many baby bunnies and I am a little worried because now I have 4 rabbits!

Of course I am very happy to know that my rabbits do have good lives, are healthy, regularly vet checked and etc etc but really, I am in a small house with limited resources...going to need to keep a daily bunny diary to make sure these guys are well looked after...going to pick up 2 collapsible dog crates tomorrow (huge ones, one is 1.3m ) for the buns to stay as indoor buns.

Going to have to research a lot about socialising a baby bunny in with 3 established adults. Going to have a lot to do.

Thankfully I am finally on top of all the housework and maintenance around the place so I am super organised now with cleaning, meal preparation, quality time for every pet and member of the house etc but will be stretching myself thin if I have another pet so NO MORE ( except for rehomers...lol).

Am very happy because have a friend building me a large outdoor hutch and have my deck decked for the buns with an obstacle course,toys etc

Will take more photos tomorrow.

Wow...have no clue about baby bunnies, loads of reading to do.

I have decided that I am going to invite Michelle around for a check out of my buns and their lifestyle (warts and all), see if she does things differently and if she thinks I can have 4 house buns It would be good to have another rabbit lover to have around, I wish Michelle lived a little closer but you know, Manukau is a big place.

Should be fun as we have been planning to catch up anyway

Jazz and Slipper are very clean, no probs there, new baby will be litter trained as soon as he is old enough..Carlita....ooch...she's getting there!

WOW! What an adorable bunny family! That little one is about as precious as they come!!! That little face is darling!



also - I have 3 bunnies, 2 horses, 2 dogs, 1 cat, and a bird (son has 3 sheep)...

now I don't have quality time each day for everyone. My one dog has to be with me all the time (my shadow) and of course someone feeds and cares for all of them daily.

Yesterday was super busy - work, errands and daughter had basketball practice. Bo is giving me the "you are a bad mommy" look - cause I didn't have time to cuddle and play. He'll be fine. He can play today after I work and he'll get snuggles tonight from me and Lexi. Sometimes life isn't perfect, but he's not neglected and I know yours won't be either

 

[lemonaxis]

Thanks for the encouragement Bo, will still be happy if I had a couple of rabbit loving friends to rely on to talk to.
The baby bunny will need lots of handling and support to grow up healthy and social. Luckily buns grow up quickly as I also have 2 cats, both of which will take given opportunities to nab the bunny. He is perfect prey size :?
Even smaller than a guinea pig.

'Ello 'ello! I'm hoping I'm the lucky Michelle who gets to be invited over?

:weee: :clapping:

If not then, ah, I'll just turn up un-invited :tongue.


Congrats on your new gorgeous baby bunny! Is he a sealpoint? What kind of bun is he? I'm totally in love with Slipper, he looks like a cross between BunBun and the MIL's rabbit buddy. I can't promise I wouldn't steal your rabbits if I came over.

:whistling

Hello

Another hot day here, great for the kids down at the beach and my bunners are all well fed, shaded and either licking or lying on top of their ice blocks. My baby is asleep and although I have a huge birthday meal to make, I wanted to take time out to socialise with the rabbits. I have done the rounds and they are all happy except perhaps Carlita who wants to know why she can't join Jazz right now...well its because Carlita is a little too enthuasiastic about the new baby and I am worried she will hurt him.

Wanted to share a coupleof pics of the bond between Jazz and Husker. He has really taken to her, at first she tolerated him but good old Jazz can be bonded to anyone....here she is with Husker....

Here is another, photbucket is being very annoying so these will be large pics. Jazz was wearing a harness when I introduced them. She responds well to it at times and I thouht I could use it to gently pull her back if she was aggressive towards the baby but she sniffed him and settled down next to him. Pretty much what she did with BK.

Jazz is not as fond of Slipper because they have not really had the chance to be close and he just tries to hump ANYTHING that moves so he definately cannot be socialised until his hormones settle down.

Heres another cutie..."I am following my new mum"

 

[kasper21]

Wow cool that's a lot of rabbits. Rabbits must be your passion, understandably!

 

[PepnFluff]

awww i want Husker look at him hes so tiny and adorable. Michelle i was thinking if you "accidently" took them all we could have a custodial arrangment week on week off so we all get some quality time with them all.

 

[Spring]

Oh my gosh! All your guys are just stunning! I must say, Carlita has stolen my heart with her resemblance to my Jasmine!

Awww!

 

[lemonaxis]

Well I have been having a few worries about bonding my lot and SURPRISE, Carlita crept back inside and I witnessed this amazing sight this morning:

Here is Carlita sittign NEAR Slipper. And here is Slipper behaving himself for once!
Jazz and Husker are indoors and safe from any attacks from Carlita. Carlita and Jazz are wonderfully bonded but Carlita would literaly tear Husker apart if she got given the chance.

Previously Carlita tried to hurt Slipper and Slipper tried EVERYTHING he could to mount Jazz so I think you can see why I am so pleased with this following pic too :biggrin2:

 

[undergunfire]

Such great news, Lemonaxis! I will send good vibes for you guys :biggrin2:.
