Morgan, Marlin, and Brody

[undergunfire]

[align=center]Welcome to our blog!

Morgan's birthday is June 24th, 2006. He is a neutered Harlequin mix rabbit. I adopted from Zooh Corner Rabbit Rescue in California in January of 2007. Morgan loves to lounge around and play with his stuffed bunny toy.

Brody's birthday is August 16th, 2007. He is a neutered tort Holland Lop rabbit. Brody was purchased from "The Back Yard Bunny Barn" in Chino Valley, Arizona. Brody loves to eat and cause a lot of trouble.[/align][align=center]Benson's birthday is unknown, but he is 8 1/2 years old. He is a neutered red-eyed-white Holland Lop rabbit. Benson came to me after his owner of 7 1/2 years was going to have him euthanized because he was moving to another state. I took Benson in at the last minute and with help from Kelly who owns "The Bunny Basics" store in Scottsdale, AZ...we found out Benson was adopted from Brambley Hedge Rabbit Rescue in May of 2001 by his old owners. I am now a long-term foster mommy for Benson. He is deaf and blind in both eyes, and now has to see the vet a lot. Benson is definitely an old man....but he is a total lover and lives for his "oaties".

Marlin's birthday is April 1st, 2007. He is a neutered tort Lionhead rabbit. Marlin was purchased from "Morning Star Rabbitry" in Tempe, AZ. Marlin loves his toy slinkies and playing around the bunny room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


All of my rabbits live in their very own room, along with the ratties. The floors are laminate, so cleaning is very easy (with help from the shop-vac!). The bunno's live in "NIC cages", which are wonderful cages and fit very well in their bedroom.

I hope you will all look forward for more pictures of my "kids". I am going to try very hard to update my blog at least once a week.

Hi Amy,

How have you been?

The bunnies all look great. I love your or should I say their room. LOL I can't remember are any of yours bonded.

I will look forward to seeing your pictures/update every week.

Susan

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

Great new blog, Amy! I look forward to more piccies.

 

[undergunfire]

Hello, Susan . I have been excellent, how about you?

Nope, no one is bonded currently. I find that I don't have much time to do the sessions. Alicia talks about bonding, which makes me want to bond...so hopefully if I get encouragement every day to do a little session no matter how worn out I am from working 10 hour days at work...then maybe it can work out . I may even try to bond Benson into the mix...and if he bonds, then I will surely adopt him from BHRR, but for now...he is my long-term foster .

Happy to see you blogging again:biggrin2: I just love your boys, can't wait for more pictures!

 

[NZminilops]

"...plus the kitty and ratties!"



:waiting:

 

[undergunfire]

Well, here is Marlin . The other three boys didn't get their pictures taken today, but probably tomorrow ....

Spartan (my big squishy love boy)...

Louie (my "wants no love from mommy" boy)...

The two boys together...

Nakie Ralphie was off wandering around some where, so he didn't get his picture taken .



And now for Jupe Kitty...

Jupe might possibly be getting a friend this Sunday. His foster mommy has his "best friend" at her house who she also didn't want to adopt out, but I told her that we were looking for a friend for Jupe and she highly suggests him. I guess "Blade" is pure black, a bit larger than Jupe, yellow eyes, and is a Poly (many toed cat)....just like my Ju-Boy.

More pictures this weekend, I swearrrr :biggrin2:!

 

[kellyjade]

Aww haha I love Marlin's bedhead look. Jupe's really beautiful too..very sleek and panther like. And the ratties..I never seriously considered having pet rats, but yours are cute and look like fun, haha.:biggrin2:

 

[ChandieLee]

Oh, Spartan is soo cute. I would love to get a rat, but my boyfriend doesn't like the idea at all. :grumpy: I love Marlin's mane too.

 

[GoinBackToCali]

*snikker*

 

[GoinBackToCali]

Jupe's been declawed hasn't he? His front paws look funny like Kobe's..aside from being a Poly.. they just have that declawed look to them..

Yanno I really wanted to make some caption about *get over here and sew me some clothes i'm nakey.* but my cleverness eludes me at 4:30 in the morning..lol

I'm looking at this thread going what does she mean 4:30 in the morning. Than it hit me. Time zone.

 

[undergunfire]

Rats are great! I totally think it is a pet experience every one should try in their lives if you are interested in them...or foster some for a rescue. They are like little humans/dogs .

Greaaaaat picture, Zin...lol. I snapped that picture just in time for him to yell at me.

Oh, and Jupe is not declawed. Every one asks me that, lol. I think it is because he has such large paws, it makes him look declawed. Plus, I keep his nails real short because he loves to "kneed the dough" and hug your head if you don't pet him.

He's my little panther love, as I call him .

 

[bunbunluv]

Your bunnies are so cute! And the rats are as well.

I agree that everyone should know the love of a rat at least once in their lives. I'm really becoming attached to the bunnies, but the rats will always hold a special place in my heart. They want nothing more then to be near you (people are their second love, which of course their first love is food which nothing could ever take the place of )

 

[TinysMom]

I have a hard time picturing you with one cat - but TWO??? Wow....

I wonder what will be next....frogs? (Just kidding).

Seriously - I love your kitty - and your bunnies too...the ratties...well.....I love the fact they're at YOUR place!

:biggrin2:

 

[XxMontanaxX]

There's my boy. :inlove:

 

[undergunfire]

Lol, Montana....Spartie Smartie is a totally mommy's boy, though. You'll have to get your own Spartie someday !

Peg....2 cats, nuts, I know...right? It's just that JuJu is so attached to me in the sense that he HAS to be near me when I am home. If I can't see Jupe out of the corner of my eye, then there must be something wrong, lol. He tries to play with me like a kitty, chase me through the house, ect.....my poor boy needs another kitty...lol. I was fine with one cat, but I have to do what JuJu wants .



Hopefully later tonight I will find the time to take pictures of all the bunnies for my blog. It has been really hot here during the days (we have no A/C in the house)....so I am having to lounge around all day and so all my "weekend cleaning" after 6pm....including laundry, dishes, vaccum, cleaning the rat cage, and the bunny room, ect :yuck.

 

[JadeIcing]

Come live here!

Now I want my presents. Well the bunnies do. Mace and Merlin Say hi. Merlin says he may see you soon if he doesn't lower his voice.

 

[undergunfire]

I'm going to post an update....finally :biggrin2:!

All is well here in the fambly. Benson has been back and forth to the vet because of his eyes. Morgan has been his gentle 'ol self. Brody is still naughty, like always. Marlin is just the same...my sweet fluffery bunny. The rats are doing well. I have three new foster rats, who I hope will get adopted soon, as one of them is "Mr. Bitey Fingers" and he actually scares me. The kitties are doing smashingly well. We got our new doggie, Sammy...who is a total blast to have around.

I redid Marlin and Morgan's NIC cages today, to make better use of the space in our bunny room. The room is small and having a ton of clunky NIC cages in there, just really stuffs it up...especially since I have a honkin' rat cage.

I made M & M's NIC cages to be 1 NIC wide x 2 NIC high x 6 NIC long, each. They are totally diggin' the long cage and I really think they love it because it is nice and "secure" feeling. They can turn around just fine. Shoot, all they ever do in their cages is be lazy bums...errr buns....anyway. I like how the cage fits right up against the wall nice and even with the opening of my closet...so that I can get the shop vac and all their supplies out easier now.

I just need to get some cheapo non-slip kitchen mats or something to put down, so that they stop slipping when they jump up/down their levels, to the floor.

Oh, yeah....for Marlin's cage, since there wasn't a solid floor....I just used sticky tiles and put on evenly on each of the NIC panels, then used double sided foam tape to tape down some thick plastic table placemats over the parts where the NIC was still exposed. It looks great to me! Works very well, too!

Doube Ohhh.....Marlin says not to laugh at all of his pink things. He really enjoys the color pink because it is so bright and makes him look adorable ....

I will probably build Brody and Benson's cages the exact same way next weekend. Benson won't be able to have shelves, as he is blind and I am afraid he will fall...or just not use them. I already have the picture in my head of how I am going to set up the bunny room once I get B & B's cages done.


Now, onto some lovely pictures I snapped of Morgie. I actually love these pictures because they really show how gentle and loving my Morg is...

Marlin would like to kiss you all goodbye :bunnyheart...

 

[TinysMom]

I love the cages - they really really look nice. I also love the photos of Morgan 'cause I think they really do capture his sweet & gentle personality. I forget which one was my favorite - I liked them all.

And Marlin? He's ever the handsome dude...
