Oberon

[naturestee]

I think he just doesn't realize that he'shurting me. I'm yelping and saying ouch when he grooms toohard, and yesterday he did start licking a little instead. Ithink he'll learn with a little patience, and that should carry over togrooming other bunnies too. He's just been caged alone for solong- I doubt the snake owner or the breeder had him in with otherrabbits- he doesn't know what he's doing.

Oh, and he begs for attention from James too, so he seems to be an equal-opportunity lover. :yes:

Jim and I just watched about 3 hours last nightof a show on Animal Planet about snakes.It was gruesome. We wondered atthe shelter whether he had been put in with the boa. He was so spazzyat the shelter that we were afraid that he would break his own bones.Look at how far that he's come now..you and James are his Christmasangels:blueribbon::angel::angel:

Merry Christmas from angieluv at her moms house :star::star:

Sounds like your second bonding session went alittle better? That would be so great if they all bond, but bonding 3bunnies can be pretty rough Im having great success on theTumnus/Lucy bonding (more updates to come soon).

Good Luck and Merry Christmas! :santawink:

I haven't updated for a bit, but there's notmuch new. I haven't done a bonding session for a couple ofdays because Fey and Sprite are feeling a little under theweather. They're improving though so we should be able tostart back up again soon. Hooray for sensitive GI tracts.

I was trying to get a video of Oberon doing binkies, but of course hestopped as soon as I brought the camera out.:rollseyes Soinstead you get a video of Oberon being sweet, too hyper to want toomany pets at once, and licking my clothes. Enjoy!

 

[Haley]

Aww He seems like such a little lover. What a sweetheart. :kiss:

I really hope youre able to have success bonding him to the girls! We're keeping our fingers (and paws) crossed for you guys!

[MyBabyBunnies]

Oh man not only does his whole head shape andeverything remind me of Spice, his behaviour in that video doestoo!:bunnyheartI just can't get over how adorable oberon isand man oh man do I wanna snatch him!

*Adds Oberon to her bunny-napping list.*

:bunnydance::yeahthat :lies Iabsolutely love Oberon!

He reminds me of the rabbits I was around when I was about 7.My mom had one, the female, white, albino named Thumper and my grandmahad the male alsowhite, albino male, named Pepper.Unfortunately, they weren't fixed, they put them in the same hutch w/ a2x4 seperator. :dunno

Of course got Thumper preggers. A few of the babiesdied. They were outside in a hutch.:sad: Sorry, didn't mean to hijack, justan immediate memory.

YAY-OBERON- you rock, we all love you! :dancing:

 

[maherwoman]

What a hottie! Flower's absolutely smitten...:shock:...dang hormones, hehe!

He's so cute! Those ears are wonderfully long! Helooked like he was playing tease with you petting him,too...cute!

 

[naturestee]

No! My bunny! (I hope)

James has always wanted a lop, so the other day I was petting Oberonand I pushed his ears down- they're kind of floppy- and I said he's alop! Ta da!

Oberon still wasn't cooperating today, but I did get a small binky on video.

 

[Haley]

What a happy bunny!

Any more dates with the ladies?

 

[Pipp]

What an awesomely cute little binky!!! :inlove:

sas:jumpforjoy:

 

[naturestee]

Yeah, he does have cute tiny binkies for such a big bun.

Haley, no more dates yet. The ladies are still feeling a bitdown, although still improving. I wish I knew what it was,but I'm actually suspecting a minor bacterial or viral illness, ormaybe it was just time for their screwy intestines to go out of whackagain. They're eating and pooping, just not as well as I'dlike to see. At least they don't appear uncomfortable anymore.

Remind me now why people breed hotots and English spots when they know they're prone to this?:sigh

 

[maherwoman]

Oh no...I'm sorry to hear the girls aren't doing well...I hope they get better soon!!

We all send our love...

:inlove::bunnyheart:bunnyheart

 

[Maureen Las]

I"m sorry the girls are not doing well...maybethe big Lord of the basement is too scary for them...I've tried to bondso many times that nothing phases me. Let them have time with eachother before trying again and if it doesn't work he has hisownfollowing now.

 

[Haley]

I hope the girls feel better soon! Its good ofyou to hold off on bonding as so not further stress them out (andprevent Oberon from catching anything).

Thats what happened to me and my failed bonding of the boys. Max gotsick and I felt too bad to try and bond him to Tumnus. It all workedout in the end though

I'll be praying for the little fairies. Get well soon girlies!

 

[TreasuredFriend]

Hoping your girls get well soon, naturestee.

Thanks for posting the videos of Oberon!!When our 10-lb. NZ gal does binkies, it reminds me of a semi-trailerjumping up in the air! Big Buns doin' binkies are asight to see. That said, we have familymembers from 3 lbs to 10 lbs and every furbutt binky bringssmiles. I can't wait to meet him in person soon asI can travel your way.... How wonderful to see him blossomand feel trusted now that he's Lord of YourBasement. Julie, SRR

 

[AspenandCompany]

Oberon! He is such a lovely bun! Good luck bonding him with your girlies!

 

[LuvaBun]
