That's so cute that they are friends! Our dog loves the bunnies but she always has to have her nose in their behinds! It gets annoying to them!

Nemo is so pretty! :hearts:

Last week, a friend of mine and Nemo's who owns a business called The Bunny Basics (www.thebunnybasics.com) GRACIOUSLY donated a pen to me that I turned into a 4' x4' area of love and adventures for mister nemo! I purchased from her a cottontail cottage, a large straw mat, a willow tent, a fluffy bed, and of course a big ol' box of hay for Nimmy. Of course, I also ran to Home Depot and purchased some carpet runners. I didn't buy the carpet to put on top of that because it was brought to my attention that his nails can get caught in the carpet...not that I EVER keep his nails long...but I am worried about that. Any opinions on that from anyone?

Besides my allergic reaction to Nemo's molt (especially now that he is on the run all hours of the day/night and not cooped up in a cage most of the day), I'm so happy that he has all this room and is doing so well. It makes me smile inside to know that while I'm at work full time Nemo is not stuck in a small enclosed space and he has plenty of entertainment as well!

So, without further adieu, it's time for an update to this dusty old blog!!!! :dude:

His setup!

Just plain being adorable!

I broke the wire hanger for the water bottle forever ago. In his cage, my friend Jake made a makeshift one with a red ribbon to hold it up, but I couldn't untie that one and risk it being too short or something. (I'd have had to cut it off, it was tightly tied onto the bars of the cage!) So, I used my canine teeth to cut two of my ouchless hair ties and make a clean slice in (SHARP canines!), tied them both to the bars, and hung up the bottle! I LOVE ELAAAASTIC.

Nemo wondering what I am doing.

And finally, for now, a picture of his back so you can see his coloring!

More pics to come when photobucket is done with its scheduled maintenance so I can upload them!!!

Nemo is so cute, I love his colouring.

I'm curious does he chew the clearplastic stuff you have on the bottom of his cage? I bought some to use for Winston and Vega but haven't used it yet as I'm concerned they may chew it.

BTW nice nail polish.

Nemo is ssoo cute!

I love his adorable 'moo-cow' markings. Very handsome .
His set-up looks awesome! Does he like his Cottontail Cottage?

 

[SnowyShiloh]

Aww poor Nemie's dear eye :tears2: He made me tear up. Is his eye any better? He's such a sweet boy. Tell us, what are his likes and dislikes? Does he like to cuddle with you? Is he a binky king? How old is he?

 

[timetowaste]

Thanks for coming to see the pictures everyone To answer everyone's questions...

1) Nemo doesn't chew the plastic carpet runners, but that might be because he has two straw mats to chew up and scratch at. The reason why I didn't get carpet to put on top of it is because the guy at Home Depot mentioned how Nemo's nails could get stuck in the carpet. Not that I don't trim Nemo's nails on a consistent basis (the other day Nemo kicked me in the mouth and scratched my lip as I tried to cut his nails, haha), but I don't want him to get scared if he does that and rip a nail out or something. So I stuck to the carpet runners. But, Nemo doesn't have a history of chewing carpet. Only ONCE in our old condo that he caused $2000 worth of damage to. He ripped up a corner of carpet in the closet...nice job, Nemo.

2) Thanks for the comment about the nail polish, haha. I got a pedicure two weeks ago when a friend and I had a spa day. Basically it was a beautiful day of relaxation and stuff!

3) Nemo LOVES his cottontail cottage. It took him awhile to figure out there are ramps to the next levels. It took me awhile to figure out how to put it together (and when I figured it out, I was embarrassed of myself for not seeing how EASY it was...dumbbbbb)! When I give Nemo his 1/8th cup of of pellets everyday, I put it on top of his cottage so he runs up there for it. He also digs at the cardboard like he is going to be getting places if he digs deep enough. He also tore some cardboard off of one side with his freakin' teeth! Hey...that's why it's a bunny safe material, right?

4) For more about Nemo's eye, see his infirmary thread here: http://www.rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=30132&forum_id=16

But as for now, it's still just a birth defect. Sometimes he has a cloudy discharge leaking out of it and sometimes he has strands of snot and pus come out of it that aren't that big or bad but still icky. Poor little bunny...can't drain out of that nostril so he drains out of his eye socket...ugh. It's a sick sad world people .

5) Nemo LOVES willow balls and he has a willow wreath in there with him right now. Also he has the willow tent and the straw mats...basically everything inside of his pen is bunny safe to chew, swallow, eat, devour, whatever! Well..except the litterbox. But I'm yet to see him try to chew that, seeing as how he barely even uses the freakin' thing...! Nemo hates getting his nails clipped. He also hates when I give him kisses on his chubby little cheeks for too long! He grunts at me and sorta pulls back and stares at me like 'Why you doin' this, ew!'. Other than that, he is a pretty free happy bunners!

6) I'm not sure if I would call him a cuddler per say... He is great with being held and picked up for long periods of time as long as you aren't bothering him with nail trims. He gives lots of love and kisses and LOVES to dig on my chest if he is just sitting there. Then he chews on my shirt and sorta squeaks as he does it. What a silly rabbit...

7) Nemo's only form of binkies is running really fast, being unable to stop on the tile floor, and sliding face first into the closet or wall...then he gets up, runs back to where he started, and probably thinks to himself "THIS TIME, THIS TIME, THIS TIME..." and flies back into the same spot. Oh Nemo... We have spotted him do flips a couple of times, but IF he does them on a regular basis, we miss them!!!!

8) Nemo is a year old sometime this month! Yay March! He was adopted when he was only 6 weeks old from some breeder in Peyson (north of where I am by about an hour) by a girl who I basically rescued Nemo from. He was living in a bathroom all by himself with only crappy Petsmart food to live off of in unlimited quantities and no toys or anything else except a small crock of water (which was empty when I went to pick him up). The girl called him 'vicious' and just basically threw him at me to get him out of her house. Turns out he just needed a good neuter and some love for once in his sad little life.

I love my baby boy!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH. I was just clipping Nemo's nails, and he was sorta struggling so I was holding him tight against my tummy on his back and clipping as fast as I could without making him bleed. Yesterday morning I tried to do this and I DID make him bleed on one nail and I've never hugged him so tight in my life to apologize for what I had done. Tonight, he didn't bleed, but he had one nail that was just extremely too long, and when I snipped it, it flew up in the air and landed OF ALL PLACES right into Nemo's bad eye. It was swimming in his bad eye and its fluids and he was kicking me because I'm assuming it was irritating the crap outta him. SMACK IN THE CENTER OF IT TOO.

I just feel SO guilty now!!! UGH!!!!!!!

I wantssss to meeeet Nemoooo and youu :biggrin2:!


p.s...when you come up for my house warming party, I may have you stop by the bunny store during that week to pick me up some bunny stuff. I can paypayl you money. It's just soooo much cheaper than ordering offline and paying shipping.

The bunno's want one of those willow tents and stuff. I am going on the Busy Bunny store now to "shop" .

 

[timetowaste]

Just let me know what you'd like! You can even tell Kelly and just paypal her the money and I'll just pick it up for you and bring it up there. That may be easier for all of us, you know? YAY!

Great idea :biggrin2:! Hehe, I just said that yesterday in a post I was not buying any more bunny toys...they have waaaaay too many, but this would be a good chance to get some willow type stuff without paying shipping. You said the bunny store is just down the road from you, right?
