Thanks folks - I hope to take more pictures of New Hope in the next week or so - normally he scarfs down his baby food but he'd had some cereal shortly before I took the video and he'd just gotten back up on his feet after being dead bunny flopped for quite a while - which meant he was a bit uncertain about his balance.
He has several maloclussion that he developed as he got older - I'm not sure if he pulled his teeth or if it was genetic - but I never bred his parents again. He gets his teeth trimmed about every 10-14 days - he is a bit late on the last trimming and will get them trimmed again tonight.
I think I've lost count of how many times he's gone into stasis or gone from standing up pretty good to rolling again with the wry neck.
Every time he graduates to a "real cage" - he winds up sick again within 24-36 hours and I find myself wondering if it is because he misses being hand fed, etc.
I'll have to have Robin take videos of me feeding him with a syringe - he is so funny.....I just can't seem to go fast enough sometimes.
He is pretty special to me. I really hope he makes it for a lot longer - with every holiday that goes by I sort of think, "Woo hoo....we made it this far".
And although I said it before - I can't empasize it enough - I really am shocked he made it past Christmas......I never thought he'd make it. But one day its like he woke up and decided to fight for his life and gain weight....

The one that looks like Tumnus is "Bandita" and I have to admit - she's probably one of my favorites in this bunch. She is just adorable.Oh Peg he is so beautiful. What a sweet little boy.

The video is too dark - but I kept hearing a noise in the living room tonight - and it turns out that Theresa was teaching Robin to play "Fetch"...
I'll try to get more video later this week or next week during daylight hours or w/ better light..

Why is it that rabbits don't want to cooperate when the camera is on?
I walked out into the living room and Theresa was playing with my Easter supplies and props...so I grabbed the camera to catch it on film.
I did get a bit of it....just not as much as what she was doing at first...

Normally I would post this in my "Watch the Lionhead Babies Grow" blog - but since I know I'm keeping Bandita and I suspect I'm keeping Taylor and Peanut too (and Splash)...I'm putting these photos here...
Bandita & Peanut....Bandita does NOT have red eyes...that is the flash...
Peanut's attitude reminds me so much of GingerSpice in this photo....if only she had the white on the nose and the paw they'd be twins. Some of y'all may remember when I had the two litters on Valentine's day - I had two that I kept going..."Are they peanuts? Aren't they?" and day by day I waited for them to pass. Well - they were just small and the two are Peanut and Taylor...
Bandita wants everyone to see she has ears (unlike the last picture in this post)
Taylor - who really does NOT have red eyes - but he carries REW (red eyed white) - so he scans...
Taylor again....
and again.....
and yet again - can you tell I'm in love with him? I don't think I can rehome him unless it was with a close friend.....he's just that special...
Chiquita banana baby food and cheerios - Bandita thinks thats the breakfast of champions!
Bandita again - and yes - I know the floor is horrid - its getting mopped tomorrow...
Miss Peanut again...
Don't you think Peanut has a hard life?????
Yesterday, I seriously thought this would be one of my last pictures of Bandita (and you can kinda see her ears).....she was so ill and couldn't sit up without using her front feet to push her hind portion to let her sit. But right now I'm "hopefully optimistic" about her recovery....
I'll probably try to do photos of Splash tomorrow....

Its sorta freaky in a way. Peanut - was so darn small - I worried about her all the time - but she's going to be about the same size Ginger was...which is neat.
Just compare these two photos though to see what I mean...
Peanut:
GingerSpice (once she got a bit more comfortable here):
There is just something about the attitude and the look I see in their eyes....
The more I look at Peanut - the more I am reminded of GingerSpice.....not so much in looks (although that too) - but in personality.

I thought I'd do a couple of quick updates here...
First of all.....Bandita is doing very well. In fact, she's doing so well - that she wants you to see some of her pictures....
I took some of Splash too - but my battery is dead so I can't download them right now.
Bandita, Splash, Peanut and three of the babies have been freeroaming the office for the last 48 hours or so. I believe it was Peanut who chewed through my phone cord so I need a new one..... Thanks Peanut.
The three black babies are going to the feed store tomorrow to be rehomed....when they are sold - they go with my sheet about how to take care of them - along with my phone number and stuff. I'm going to miss the black babies - but I can't keep them all and I'm very attached to Bandita and Splash.
Miss Bea has allowed Zeus to groom her again (barely) - you'd have to read their blog to read about their differences lately. But both Zeus and Miss Bea have found a new friend....and I caught Miss Bea grooming her...
No - Miss Bea and Sport are NOT related.....but Sport is a vienna-marked harlequin.
Yesterday Isenstar had time out in the office with the other rabbits (along with Gabby - our newest Californian who SHOCKED me by playing nicely with everyone). "Princess Cordelia" also had exercise time out of her pen and the two girls got along well (Isenstar and Cordy). Cordy has wry neck and she runs in circles a lot - it is hilarious to watch...but boy can she growl if she gets mad.
So today - Saphira had time out to play - along with Cordy. Well - the babies kept chasing Saphira around and then Cordy HATED her (and vice versa). When I finally put Saphira back in her cage she was like, "Don't you EVER EVER take me out again......EVER...".
Yes Ma'am....
Oh - and Audrey had time out....some of you may remember her from these pics...
Doesn't she look sweet - and innocent?
HA HA HA HA HA...
Art called me out to the garage tonight - she'd made it out there and was sitting about 4 1/2 FEET off the ground...on some boxes (and under a Rubbermaid stepstool). She is a climber....I'd forgotten that (she loves to sit on the top of her two tier cat condo)....
She was NOT sweet when he went to pick her up.....kicking and fussing....growling even.
He handed her to me and said, "Be careful' and she settled right down 'cause she KNEW I was boss..".
I put her back in her cage and she flicked me off and I think if she could've swore at me ....she would have.
Anyway - at this time - Zeus hangs out in the garage most of the time (except for supper time and mornings).....Ambrosia hangs out in the kitchen....Sport likes the living room and office....and Miss Bea....is still a ..... witch. Most of the time.
But I love 'em all anyway...

Audrey almost got rehomed last Saturday....she came so close....but then I brought out "Pup" - a buck who acts so much like a puppy that Robin named him "Pup".
Well - Pup stole their hearts...and they really wanted a buck. It was for her neice who was all the time visiting and wanting to steal their rabbits that they got from me over a year ago....in fact, she has one of my favorite bucks of all time, Ace (who got renamed but I still think of him by that name).
I really REALLY liked this family - she's seen me in Walmart before and stopped to tell me about the rabbits...and so I would've loved to have placed Audrey with them as they bought a big cage for their niece and have educated her on how to handle rabbits, etc. (The niece is 12).
Oh well.
I had hoped that I might bring Audrey into Zeus' harem but that is most definitely a "no go". She and Miss Bea can't stand each other and she doesn't really care for Zeus either.
I've decided though that she is one that I will rehome myself vs. using the feed store to help me......
But she is adorable. She really is.
I'm a sucker though - I am so bad. Last night I was holding one of the three black ones I was going to take to the feed store today (I will probably take them on Monday the way my day is going) and Robin pointed out that this little girl was SMALLER than Peanut (when I put her down). I got to thinking about it...and while there is a really good chance she just carries the dwarfing gene....she has also been a bit behind the other developmentally.
So looks like she's gonna stay a bit longer.......(as if that breaks my heart...right?)
But yes, I do have a lot of cute bunnies......I wish I could rehome about 1/2 of them....maybe 2/3. Then I think I would enjoy them more....
But that will happen bit by bit I'm sure. I may even rehome Splash...to the right person. I won't use the feed store for her though....even though the feed store folks are GREAT and they will talk people out of buying my bunnies if they think they're gonna be outside (I had one girl flat out tell someone that if they put one of the lionheads outside it would kill them and she convinced them that a rabbit wasn't right for them....she told me later that she was so proud of herself for that 'cause she really liked that bunny...and it went to a pet home the next day as an INDOOR bunny).
Oh....and remind me to find an old picture later of Snookums....she's moved herself from the living room into the office....only thing is....both she and Miss Bea want to think they're boss. They seem to be working things out....each seems to be boss over certain areas....so it actually might work out....
Now if I could just move Zeus back into the office...
Oh Susan - if I could package a bunch up and send them to you - I would. You know that - right? You're such a GREAT bunny mama....

Oooh....I found my photos of Snookums from last year....
For those who don't know - when she was around 8 weeks old she wound up with wry neck. Art gave her a buzz cut after about a month of us trying to feed her and get her weight up, etc. 'cause her fur was a mess and trying to keep it clean was so hard.
She pulled out of the wry neck pretty well - you can still see it somewhat in the way she holds her head, etc. but she is very healthy and happy...
I'll try to get updated photos sometime soon....

Oh one more update while my mind is on it...
[align=center]NEW HOPE!!!!!
[align=left]I was picking him up last night to move him and he's put on some weight....feeling much better to me. He is able to stand up whenever he wants and he can feed himself his baby food now (vs. me syringing it into him).
He is a goofball too - when he gets mad, sad, frustrated or whatever - he picks up his towel that is usually near him and starts trying to throw it around....which is funny if he's on the bed 'cause he's usually ON the towel....so that makes him MORE frustrated when he can't move it....and he tries even harder..

New Hope is hilarious. He's supposed to get a bath tonight (ha ha - don't think its gonna happen). Now I know what everyone says about baths - not to give them, etc.
Well I'm sorry - but when a bunny pees - and then rolls in it - several times - and he smells like pee when you pick him up....he's getting a bath.
The thing is - now he's feeling somewhat better and stands up on his own a lot....and he's like "I can groom myself".
I invited him to do so - and he threw part of his towel at me (he was standing on part of it - so he wound up knocking himself on his rear) and then he looked at me like, "Its all YOUR fault..".
I'm hoping that once he gets cleaned up a bit and a good grooming done...I'll get some more photos of him. I'm so proud of how much better he is doing - and I love to cuddle him till he starts nipping at me 'cause he wants to be left alone...
New Hope is definitely a character...that is for sure..
But I love him anyway....

I was looking at the black babies on Friday to get them ready to go to the feed store...and Robin said, "look at this one...her face looks like a little lamb!"....
The more I looked at her - the more I thought Robin was right. I was also concerned because she is smaller than Peanut and Taylor are...or at least Peanut....so of course she is going to have her stay here a bit to make sure she is ok..
So it is with great ... something...good humor maybe??? that I introduce to you...

[/align]Here is her face....I couldn't really get good shots of her tonight...
and a better shot of her...
and to show you how cooperative she was.....NOT...
Shall we all sing together?
