She sounds like she´s doing fine. After all, if they fed you something that was nice than you´d been getting before, you´d eat all that first lol. I also love bunny yawns. I´ve been dying to get a photo of mine yawning but I´m never quick enough. I just love that little pink mouth open and the flash of those teeth...it´s so cutie and baby yawns are so much more gorgeous.

Mine have their ears really flat back when they´re bunny meatloafing and asleep normally.
 
Last night while Ellie was on the couch with me, she got pretty comfy and laid down next to me. In the bunloaf position. She hasn't flopped next to me or at all that I've seen. BUT I managed to get off the couch and take a picture of her without her moving too much.
She was in a flattened out bunloaf position. The pictures don't really do the adorableness of it justice. She is on a sheet on my couch, so if you see poop its on the sheet. lol This whole not being litter trained and pooping on the couch is strange to me, Foo didn't do it. But I put the sheet down to protect my couch from the accidents! lol Oh if you do notice a poop, look at its perfectly round wonderful looking shape. lmao
I found she will chew on my zipper! I had on a fleece vest last night with a zipper and she got on my chest and bit at my zipper several times, lol. Thats the only thing I've seen her chew or bite at.

In the pictures she looks a little angry, but she isn't. At least I don't think, lol. I think that she was pretty comfortable. She let me pet her for like 20 minutes, I think I felt a tooth pur but I'm not really sure! Foo never did that, so I don't know what its like. But I felt a little vibration coming from her head area and I think it was a tooth pur!
I had my pillows on the couch, I covered them with a hoody so if she got on there she wouldn't ruin my pillows. There was this little gap in the bottom of the pillows so she could get under them and behind them, she would run in and out of them! Or she would run in and poke her little nose out of the hole! It was so funny. Also, I think she knows her name. She responds to it. She likes to look over the edge of the couch and I'm afraid she's going to jump, so I call her name and she comes back to me! I called her Ellie and Elvira, and she responds to both of them. Foo knew her name too, I could call her and she would come right to me. I love when they respond.
 
Awww, she looks so relaxed and sleepy :) Lol, I do the whole sheet thing too, when I have Roo on the couch with me. He used to pee every time, but has gotten better. I think I may put together a little litter/hay box for him, and use it for when he's on the couch with me.

I love to hear about all these new things you are getting to experience with Ellie! I love it when they tooth purr, but not all of my rabbits do it. Roo's my only baby that does it. Haha, chewing on zippers must be a bunny thing. Whenever I'm wearing something with a zipper, my rabbits go after it, chewing or pulling on it. It's like they think it's not supposed to be there and are trying to find a way to remove it.
 
Hahaha. I think you're right about the zippers Jenny. She went nuts over it, until I shook her little food cup then she went back to her pellets. She picked all the Sherwood out and ate them first, then once they were gone she started to eat the Kaytee. lol she's a nut.

Out of the babies, are you going to keep Roo? Are you keeping any of the babies or all of them? lol Thats a lot of rabbit!
I would keep Roo, I don't know his personality, but he is SO cute! I saw the picture of Baby you put on Christina's blog, she is adorable too! I love her little nose splotch.

Well my MIL just came and got my son! YAYYAYAYAYAYAY! :dancingorig: I love him so much, but sometimes he just needs to go to grandma's house! lmao.
I'm going to make some chocolate chip cookies and maybe some peanut butter cookies? And some sausage balls! And wrap my husbands Christmas gift. And the stocking stuffers for my husband and dad. I don't know what to do with them though, since I only have 1 stocking, for my son! hahaha. I just got a bunch of random things for them to pick through, like candy and tooth paste and shaving cream, hahaha. I think I'll just put them in a box or something and write "STOCKING STUFFERS" on it! hahaha. Thats how I do it in my household.

Oh, I also have to clean out Ellie's cage. :vacuum: She poops SO MUCH! She also doesn't understand her actual litter box. I try to put hay on the grate, to get prompt her to go in it, but she's not actually sitting in the litter; which doesn't matter. But when I put the litter in there, it was fresh with no pee smell. So I'm going to get the soiled hay out of her hay box and put it in the litter box under the grate so she'll smell her pee in the box. I'm also going to put all her poops in the litter box. So maybe she'll start to understand that she's supposed to pee and poop in THAT box, not the hay box. Maybe I'm confusing her with the two litter boxes for different things? Foo understood it but she was older. But I think Ellie is pretty smart, so I think she'll get it. It will just take a while, I'm sure. Which is fine.
I would rather have her hay in a box, on the chance that she DOES pee in the box it won't be all over her cage, it will be contained in her box. I can't wait until she's litter trained and until she won't be walking on pee, her little feets are so stained! They were stained when I got her, but hopefully when she's better litter trained her feets will be white again!

I'm also going to give her a bigger heating pad. It goes SO cold in my kitchen at night, like under 50. So I worry she'll be too cold. I cover her cage and make sure she doesn't get a draft, but I know that little rice heater isn't staying warm for long. So I'm going to make her one that is a little bigger, so it will stay warm longer. My chickens have a 3 lb rice warmer that I put in the microwave for 10 minutes at a time. I'm pretty sure it stays warm all night, because when it comes out of the microwave its basically on fire! Its so hot you can't even touch it. The chickens don't lay on it though, it just goes into their house and radiates heat. Surprisingly, my small 1 lb one will radiate heat all night long after 2 minutes in the microwave. That thing will sweat you out! lol
I love rice, so many activities! Now its cookie time!
 
Awwww, she reminds of someone I know. Houdini sits exactly the same as Ellie and with his eyes half closed like hers are. I'd post a pic but am not on my computer so will have to do it tomorrow. Morgan, just watch her, it won't be long until she's jumping on and off the bed and sofa. Dutchies are great little jumpers and once they start, they never stop. Mine also love zippers and always have a nibble when they're climbing all over me.

She's just such a lovely little lady and I love hearing about all the new things she does. :hearts
 
I cleaned her cage out tonight. She was really pottying in her hay box! lol I put most of her soiled hay and poop into her litter box, with a little extra pine pellets. Hopefully that will help give her an idea of where to go potty. lol
I put some velvet blankets down for her and one in her box along with her elephant. She doesn't do much with the elephant, but I feel like it keeps her some company and maybe it helps to hold the warmth in her box with her. hahaha.

My cookie making today, did not go well. hahaha. I burned cookies for the first time in my life! It was shocking. haha. My oven is a little too hot and I guess I wasn't fast enough when the timer went off. lol oh well. I only burned one cookie sheet of them and the other 12 cookie sheets were perfect. Its so weird. My husband was really happy when he came home to the house filled with cookies. I made chocolate chip, but I made myself some chocolate chip cookies withOUT chocolate chips. lol I don't like the chocolate, just the cookie part. hahahaa.
 
you made 13 sheets of cookies? that's insane, lol.

I don't think she looks angry in the pics... she just has the half-awake "go away, I'm napping" look that kitties get.

I would merge the litter box and hay box into one. if I try to have a dig box (with dirt or paper) or if I put hay in something else (like the time I tried putting the alfalfa in their upside-down igloo so that the tiny leaf bits wouldn't fall through the grate), my bunnies *always* pee in there.

oh, and hooray for a day off from parenting :D
 
Ok, ok, stop rubbing it in that you have this perfect little angel that will eat her new food without a fuss. I still find food dishes with sherwood pellets still sitting in there at feeding time. Grrrr!!! I can't wait til I'm done transitioning their food over.

I'm definitely keeping Roo. He can be a little timid, but he has his short bursts of activity, then he'll snuggle down in my arms and take a nap. I have to have at least one rabbit that likes to snuggle with me :). The other babies I'm not quite sure about yet. I have one that injured his foot, so I'm just waiting for it to heal completely, then I will find a new home for him. Another one of my babies has a genetic digestive disorder. He's healthy now and isn't having any problems yet, but these rabbits can have serious digestive problems throughout their lives, so I'm trying to see if there is anything I can do to help him out. I would like to find him a good home, if there would be someone willing to deal with his particular problem, if not he'll stay with me. It's hard to find really good homes though, that I would feel comfortable sending my babies to. So it may take some time, but I'll just keep looking.

Oh, I know, babies poop so much, and they just leave it EVERYWHERE! Roo is the worst litter trained out of all my rabbits. The others all have their corner where they've decided to pee, but Roo just pees everywhere. He is a baby though, and I will say that some of the others weren't so good at it until I learned a few tricks. Baby was my last hard one. But getting her a bigger litter box and putting her hay in a corner of it, solved the problem completely. Do you really need to use the grate with Ellie. I don't with several of my rabbits, and I don't have a problem with stained feet. I do clean it out every day though, and I make sure the litter is thick enough that the pee drains to the bottom so what they are standing on isn't very wet. I only use a grate for my rabbits that are diggers and like to make a mess. She may just not like the grate thing. You might have better luck reintroducing a grate later on when she's older and her litter box habits are really good. I bet the stained feet will gradually get cleaner since it's something she came to you with.

That's so cute that it's Ellie and the elephant. I know Roo really likes his stuffie. He has a stuffed white bunny that he snuggles with. He lays in his hay box with his head resting on his stuffie. It's so cute!

Something is definitely wrong with you! How can you not like chocolate in your cookies? I would say that I wouldn't even want to eat them with out the chocolate chips in there, but that's not true. I'd eat them anyways cause they have sugar, but I like them a lot better with chocolate! Wow, did you really make 12 pans of cookies? Amazing! I would have been worn out( and sick from eating cookie dough) after 1 tray :)

AHHHH! My stupid computer, I accidently unplugged my laptop charger and my laptop cut off! I had pictures loaded into my reply and all of it. I was almost done! UGH, here we go again!

Yes, Jenny and Jennifer, I did make 12 or 13 sheets of cookies. If I make only one batch which is like 3 sheets, my husband eats them all in one day. He is a cookie vacuum. :vacuum: He needs to go to COEA - cookie over-eaters anonymous. The amount of cookies I made today have NOTHING on the amount that my MIL made this week. She made like 8 different kinds and they're all double batches. Except this one kind, the recipe makes like 400 cookies. She got it from her MIL, who had 6 kids. So she was feeding 8 people, she had to make a lot of cookies. lol That recipe takes like 11 hours to make all the cookies. Its really time consuming and I have no idea why she makes them.

Earlier, Ellie was out of her cage and in Foo's cage. She was binkying in there and she jumped like a foot off the floor! I was shocked! It was so awesome.
While I was typing my first response that got deleted, she was on the couch with me. She learned she could climb on the back of the couch. haha. She was also digging at my pillow to get under it and then she started to dig at my butt. I guess she wanted to get passed me to the other side of the couch. I don't know what to do with a climber. Foo was NOT a climber, hell she barely jumped out of her cage, she always tapped her feet on the bars jumping in and out. Ellie, already at her small size, can jump out of the cage with no problems at all. I'm going to need a bigger cage, with levels and a top! hahaha.

SO ITS PICTURE TIME!
I managed to get a picture of Ellie binkying! She is in Foo's cage, so there are bars in the way, but you can see her! In the picture, her feet are off the floor, she is in mid jump! Its a little hard to tell.

I'm glad you're keeping Roo, he's such a cutie. I would love a lovey baby, but Ellie is a firecracker. She is all over the place all the time. lol
Is the one with the stomach issues the only one? Is it part of the breed? I'm not familiar with breeds or their histories. I hope his tummy doesn't cause him too many problems in his lifetime. I also hope you can find him a home that has the patience for taking care of something like that!
I would be SO worried about finding them homes. They would wind up staying with me just because I would be so uncomfortable. Not that I'm the best pet owner in the world or anything, but rabbits are so sensitive sometimes!

As for Ellie's litter box, I guess I don't need the grate in her box. Since she can clean her butt well enough and her butt shouldn't get stained like Foo's. I put the grate in because Foo was having such a hard time with the staining and matting when she would touch the litter. But as long as I keep up with the litter box like I'm supposed to, then I shouldn't have that problem with Ellie. It didn't matter with Foo, I could scoop the litter several times a day and she would still get dirty and gross. She had to be completely away from the litter! haha.
I think I'm going to get a bigger litter box and converge the litter box into the hay box and just have one box. I don't really want to do that, because I like having the separate boxes, especially for salads and stuff later on, but I guess one box will be better for learning. I didn't introduce Foo's hay box until she was good with the litter box. So I guess I should do that with Ellie, I'll do it tomorrow.

AND nothing is wrong with me! I just don't like chocolate chips! I put one single chocolate chip in my chocolate-less cookies! hahaha.
 
I do love her and she's going be such an exciting little bunny. Jumpers are a challenge especially when putting together their space as you have to think of what they can use to jump over the cage. I rearranged my boys space yesterday and regretted it afterwards as it took them a couple of hours to get used to it. Houdini was slinking over the entrance and they were all a bit spooked. However, when I left, they were all snuggled together so it's a bit better. I put the cage in the centre so it was far enough away from the edges of the enclosure (or so I thought) and arranged the rest of their stuff around it. And yes, Houdini managed to find a way to jump over onto the TV unit and and out he was. I had to put a big piece of thick cardboard at the end where he jumped and wedged it in with a big cushion from my garden furniture. After I put that there, he spent about an hour jumping on top of the cage and periscoping to see if he could manage to jump over the cardboard. I have to laugh at him.

But I can see little Ellie being just like him. Nothing fazes him and he'll try a jump at anything so be prepared. :pullhair:
 
Chris, I think Houdini has the PERFECT name! Its just the perfect fit for such an escape artist!
He sounds so funny and like such a character. I bet he is a blast to watch. hahaha.

I don't mind Ellie jumping and climbing. As long as she doesn't chew. She hasn't shown an interest in chewing yet. I gave her a piece of tissue paper tonight and she didn't do anything with it. She also has cardboard and stuff in her cage and she doesn't mess with it. The only thing she has shown any interest in was the towel that is under Foo's cage and my zipper. Other than that, no cords, none of her blankets, nothing. So hopefully, fingers crossed, she continues to not chew anything! I was so lucky that Foo didn't get into anything other than the dog food. lol but I pay enough money for the dog food, that all of them love it! hahaa. My cats eat it too sometimes. Ellie has shown no interest in the dog or cat food though, which is good.
BUT she is in love with my slippers! I don't know what it is about rabbits and feet. But Foo loved my feet, whether I had socks, no socks, slippers. She was always on my feet. She would chin my toes and constantly be on my feet. lol She was crazy. But Ellie is showing a similar fascination in my feet! My slippers especially. Its a weird bunny trait.
 
WHAT IS IT WITH COMPUTERS TONIGHT!!! I'm right there with you Morgan. I just had this whole thing typed up and one wrong button and, POOF, it's gone. I'm ready to kill this thing. Ok, well here I go again!

Great pictures! I just love seeing her cute little face :) I love the action shot and the picture of her cleaning herself. It's so hard to catch a binky cause they happen so fast... Is Ellie getting fluffier? She looks fluffier to me in these pictures.

Chris, Houdini sounds like a bundle of energy, and like he's up to all sorts of mischief. I've had a few rabbits like that, and they were usually my smartest and most clever rabbits, which is why they always seemed to be getting into trouble :)

Yeah, watch out! You now have a spider bunny :) Mine would take flying leaps onto the back couch cushion, and then proceed to climb the rest of the way up. I was always having to watch out for them cause they would tend to leap before they looked, thinking they were invincible, hence the now injured Riley(nearly better though). He tried to take a flying leap out of the playpen. BUNNIES!!! Roo is fun to snuggle with but my more energetic buns are alot more fun to watch doing their bunny tricks, especially Toby. I swear he has ADHD. He is always bouncing off the walls. So, I think you'll find having an energetic bunny is very entertaining :) And at times, may drive you insane:pullhair:

Toby is the bunny with the digestive problems. It's called megacolon. There can be various causes, one being genetic, which is what Toby has. It's something that breeds of white rabbits with dark spots and dark eyes, can be born with. So Hotots carry this trait, but it doesn't often come up. Toby is my only baby with it, but I now know that Dash had it, and Zeus has it as well, but his came about because of his repeated bouts with stasis, because when I got him, his poops were normal. So that's one way to tell. Megacolon rabbits will have very odd droppings. They are extra small and extra large, and irregular shaped at times, and this is because of the nerves in the digestive system not functioning correctly. It also causes them to not absorb nutrients as effectively, and can make them prone to stasis. So far both my boys are doing well. Acting fine and have plenty of energy, but I want to learn as much as I can about it, and maybe try and find things that can help them, in case at some point they start to have problems. The poor boys will never get treats though, because of this :(

I'll bet after a while of Ellie using her litter box, that you will be able to separate the hay. And I don't think not having the grate will be a problem. I think Foo must have had some sort of urinating challenge cause the grate seemed to work really well clearing up her problem, but usually a rabbit in a clean environment won't have that problem. The one nice thing about a grate though, is that they can't track litter out of there, so it stays a bit cleaner.

Wow, 400 cookies, really? i don't think I could ever look at another cookie again if I tried to do that. Talk about cookie overload!

ONE chocolate chip? Haha, I would die from withdrawl. I live off chocolate :)

Ok, get ready for cuteness overload! I got a pic of Roo snuggling with his stuffie :) In his hay box, which was once his litter box, but he decided to stop peeing in there and to pee everywhere else. Now he just sleeps and eats in it :foreheadsmack:

Cuteness overload...he is so fluffy and cuddly and so gorgeous.

Ellie is going to be a little handful and you´re right Jenny, they are so clever and mischievous but a bit of a handful sometimes as their attempts to do stunts like Evil Knievel sometimes get them into bother. Houdini loves to jump on top of the cages and is teaching the other two his bad habits. However, when he was younger his back leg slid through the bars and he started to panic and bruised his leg although after a couple of hours he was fine but I was panicking cos I thought he´d broken his leg. Now, all the cage tops have pieces of cardboard on top cut to size. I laughed yesterday cos I put him back after the first escape but he was still trying and was hanging by this front feet to the top of the enclosure. I was laughing so much I missed a photo.

I always worry about tummy problems although mine are fine so far but it must be an extra worry if they are prone to them.

Ellie is doing fine with her toilet. It does take a while for them to get the hang of it but they finally do. I love the grid boxes, haven´t seen them over here...heh what´s new. I fill mine with wood pellets and they do fine and it doesn´t stain their feet. I do change the dirty bits every couple of days. They´re actually quite good as I put hay in one side as well and they always pee and poop at the same end.

And how about all those cookies....don´t know how they manage. I´m planning to do some cakes, muffins and buns, that´s what we call cupcakes in England, how weird is that, I´d never thought about it before. I´ll probably make enough to go round all my friends as they all love sweet things.

It is a weird bunny trait having a foot fetish and how strange that Foo had it too. Mine are partial to sitting on my chest, it is just a bit painful if they decide to take a nip...owwww

Here´s Houdini´s meatloaf, he got the same expression as Ellie, I think so anyway....

Chris, that is exactly how Ellie looked the other night! With the little front foot out too! How funny, they're so similar.

Jenny, I didn't know megacolon was such a thing. Thats pretty sad that its genetic like that. I knew things passed from breed to breed and even color to color, because white in most breeds carries some kind of gene to make it messed up in some way. With white dogs, a lot of them are blind and deaf because there is the gene for it.
Something kind of struck a cord with me, when you said something about the poop. For the last like 2 months of Foo's life, she had some abnormal poops. She also developed some stomach issues. She started to get gassy when she was NEVER gassy from anything and I would have to give her some simethicone and pumpkin to get her going again and make her feel better. Then her poops would sometimes be really small and sometimes they would be really big. Hmmm. I don't want to say that she had megacolon, because I have no idea. But something was going on. Then she lost a little weight the last month of her life, even her vet said she could have been a little heavier, she was always boney but the last month she became REALLY boney, but still had a fat belly. I don't know what was going on with her, her vet said she seemed very healthy; but obviously there was something going on we didn't know about.
I didn't think much about her poop, because more often than not her poops were pretty normal, but then some days she would have some weird ones. Maybe she had some kind of GI issue that I didn't know about. I'm not sure. I wish I had taken her to the vet before I took her to get her spayed. Well, hindsight is 20/20, its unfortunate that I could have maybe prevented something. But who really knows? Ellie has PERFECT poops. They're all the same size, perfectly round. I've only seen two cecals from her, but the rest of her poops are completely perfect.

I think that Roo is adorable, with his little stuffie! I like hotot markings, but I really love his dutch markings! He's so cute. I just want to squeeze him.
As for Ellie being more fluffy, she may be? I'm not really sure. She's really soft and her coat isn't smooth. She has baby fur I guess. She is kind of like a little ball of fluff.

Here is a picture of the Blue Heron who likes to hang out in our pond in the backyard. I managed to snap this one before he flew away.
Camerapictures340_zps7d4a61bc.jpg
 
I think they do a lot of similar things and I think she´s going to be just like him...she´ll keep you on your toes, certainly.

I´d never heard of megacolon either. I often worry about my three although their poops are pretty similar all the time. Sometimes though I do find smaller ones or some cecals but not many and I do see them all eating the cecals as you can always tell. I´d hate to have tummy issues with any of them.

That blue heron is so cool and in your back yard. It certainly looks like a lovely place to be living.
 
It was the same for me with Dash. I had never heard of megacolon, never knew what it was. I don't think a lot of vets have even heard of it. I knew that her poops weren't totally normal, but I had no idea it was so serious. If I had known, well, who knows, she may have lived longer, but even then, megacolon can't be cured. So instead I made a bunch of mistakes. I feel so responsible for her death, it breaks my heart to even think about it. But at the same time, I had no idea there was somthing wrong with her, so I don't know how I could have done anything differently. Sure, I know all this stuff now, looking back, but I had no clue at the time, until she finally got sick... I'll try and get a picture of Toby's poops. Last night he had some really big ones. That worries me a little. Roo has good poops, which makes me happy. I already have enough trouble buns to take care of.

Chris, if you're noticing some really small poops, that is something you are going to want to keep an eye on. I've found that a rabbits poops changing is usually the first sign there is something wrong with their digestion. If it's happening often, you will want to adjust the diet of whichever rabbit is having them. Sugars and carbs are usually the problem, so you'll want to cut out any treats to see if that fixes it. If not you have to start reducing pellets next. Anyways, I hope it was just an aberration and one of your boys isn't developing a problem.
 
Jenny, I am really careful with them and am always looking at their poops. People who don't own rabbits must thing we're a bit wacky but who cares. I try and give them few pellets, loads of hay and veggies which they love. I do worry about tummy problems as so many bunnies seem to suffer from them so I will keep an eye on them to make sure they're all OK.
