King Kirby's Rabbit Nation

He melts after some fabulous petting and when he is full and content. Fills me with happiness to see him like this

September 9, 2009 - Sir Toby's 30 minute meals

First you season up the bun. As you can see here, Sir Toby has marinatedhis own nose with pumpkin. Staining is not required but it is recommended.

Then you just grill your bun. Shown here is Sir Toby halfway done. Look at those grill marks. Just need a flip and you are done!

Toby: "mommy how come Kirby gets a royal playtime story and I get 30 minute meals featuring myself as the meal?"

Sometimes, Toby, you just have to accept that the King trumps all.

Poor kid.

Aww, poor Toby! I love the picture of him with his ears missing. Bunnies look so cute without ears (when flattened back against their head, that is).

September 14, 2009 - Kirby ventures out

I was in deep need of love and hugs so I took my heart bun Kirby in my arms this evening. He had peed outside his box andI was a little surprised but I wasn't mad at him. I admit, I definitely play favorites. If Toby pulled a stunt like that he'd be in big, big trouble. But anyway, I was hugging Kirby and he was putting his head close on my chest... it was just what I needed. I'd always been reluctant to let Kirby roam the living room because I didn't think I could catch him to put him back in his pen if I had to. He's really hard to catch.

Well, I did it anyway. I set him down on the ground and he was running in and out of the rabbit room! It was SO cute. He was so curious! He never ventures out if I just open up his pen, he will happily stay in the borders as if there were an invisible fence. But I think I'll try picking him up and putting him in the living room where there's carpeting and stuff for him to play in. I also didn't used to have the play mats which bridge the living room and the rabbit room so I think that helps him be more inclined to go out.

 

[kherrmann3]

Aww, Kirby's kingdom has expanded! It's surprising how good they can act in new territory. I think they are too surprised to wee anywhere! Bunny snuggles cure all!

 

[kirbyultra]

Yup! He is definitely loving the new land. Toby has totally gonna have a complex. Technically it was land that Sir Toby found... and King Kirby annexed it. Boy, they better not a poo/pee war out here. If they ruin the living room rug, their dad's going to make dinner of em

Kirby is really happy out here. I even dragged him out of his condo (he was *so* disapproving that), plopped him in the middle of the living room rug/carpet and let him fumble his way back home. Last night he would only go as far as the playmat bridge. He didn't reach the carpet. Today he discovered the whole living room and he has had so much fun. He has binkied more times today than I've seen him binky in weeks.

It's so funny to see him run. He doesn't do nearly enough of it in his castle. His royal plumpness jiggles as he runs LOL Bunnies are so cute like that.

Kirby, unlike Toby, is very concerned about his route home. He makes his rounds in the new area and then runs home to make sure his home turf is still in order, then he comes back out. Rinse & repeat. Every time he goes home, he has to pass Toby's pen and Toby goes ballistic. Toby is probably very jealous today that Kirby has more out time than him. I let Toby out for a bit before but he mostly terrorized the King's borders in the rabbit nation (room), didn't come out to the living room at all. Oh well, his loss.

I need to post some videos and pix of Kirby running around. It's like my dream come true! When I got Kirby I always hoped I'd have a bunny following me around the apartment. But he always opted to stay "at home" instead.

Ooh what's up here?

Neener neener neener! I'm out, you're not! Ha ha ha! *plop*

[Wabbitdad12]

Well it took you long enough to get the pictures up!Just kidding, great pictures and you always have good captions.

Do you still have your webcam working? How hard was that to set up? I was thinking of doing something like that on my buns.

[kirbyultra]

Oh my god now BOTH buns are chewing on the bars of the pen to get out. AHHHH!!!

 

[myheart]

I absolutely love all of the new pics!!! Your boys are so darn cute! How are you able to resist their charms?

I love Toby's eyelashes. They look like Andy's... I fall for him every time he just sits there and looks at me with those eyes. It's like he is trying so hard to send me a message, but it just ain't gettin' through. (LOL) I can't believe how big he is already!!! Wow... he is a big-boy now!!! Give his little pumpkin-nose a kissy for me.

Is Kirby getting chubby? Or is it just the angle of the camera? This is one of my favorite bunny poses... "Hmmm... Do I go any further? I really need to, but I don't know..."

Oh, we must not forget that King Kirby also needs a kissy on his nosey also. Maybe some cheek-rubs also because he is the King.

Great update on the kids. Have fun with the new-territory binkies and races. :biggrin2:

Thanks Dave.

I still have my webcam up during the weekdays for me to view at work. My "security" webcam was easy to setup according to my husbun. It was an expensive cam, but it is great to see the buns all the time!

Oh, I can't, believe me. I am often found on the ground in the rabbit nation, overcome with cuteness. :biggrin2:

They grow up so fast I have a "rabbit nation" wallpaper collage on my computer and I always see the pics from when Toby was just 2 months old. He was such a baby face. Now he is growing up to be a handsome big bun, using his charms on me... he is quickly learning how to make ladies swoon...

Kirby is definitely getting chub chub. I have reduced his pellets a lot, but he has not been running much since I got Toby. He stopped coming out even when the door was open, and he mostly plopped around, relaxing in his comfort zone. Partly maybe because he felt a need to defend his territory, partly because he is simply getting very comfy in his home. I suspect Kirby had a very neglected, minimal contact home in the past so he's finally come to trust that he's ok here, and that he's not going anywhere. I am not so concerned about his weight; on the contrary, I'm thrilled to see him so relaxed in the environment, finally, after 10 months!

Now that he loves coming out and running in my bunny proofed apartment, I think he'll get more exercise and get more lean. He is so fluffy now, and I do love that anyway!

I will give them rubs and kisses, don't worry!

September 16, 2009 - Slave gets injured in royal getaway

I heard Kirby slipping around the hardwood floor in the living roomso I went to see what was the matter. I saw him running towards me and I was afraid my next step might end up stepping on him so I grabbed the doorframe to try to stop myself, (I was slipping on the play mat, too) and my hand slipped off the frame, my body swung kinda forward and the piece of metal that holds the door lock in place sliced into my arm. One long cut down the inside of my forearm. Looks like I tried to take my life. Oh geez. I think releasing bunnies into the living room makes them all pretty crazy. I think if it sliced further into me, I'd be in the hospital. Luckily when I swung forward it was at such an angle that the metal cut in at an angle too. Straight down would have been very bad.

Owwww.... :tears2:

P.S. Kirby is still happily running around. Sigh.
