I so need to head to bed but I was watching the newest two episodes of Dollhouse that just came out.

I'm also going to do this with the 7 "Departments" from Kathy Peel's "Home Manager" book - basically she took homemaking and broke it down into 7 departments the way a business would set up departments.

Those 7 areas are:

• Time Management
• Food Management
• Managing Home & Property (my biggest weakness)
• Financial Management
• Family and Friends
• Special Projects (birthdays, vacations, holidays, etc - even stuff like yard sales)
• Personal Management (improving yourself & growing as a person)

I'm really REALLY disappointed because it looks like maybe they were just going through a growth spurt....I don't know.

Yesterday Mercury was laying on his side and I noticed his belly and said, "If I thought you were a girl - I'd think you were pregnant - so maybe the girls aren't pregnant...".

Today would be day 35 if I've counted right.

The girls still look bigger - they're still laying around a lot. Tomorrow I'll take out the nestboxes if they haven't been used by then...

I'm sorta bummed and sorta "whatever"....

My biggest concern is that my girls are healthy and they do appear to be that...

:shock::dunno as long as the ladies are ok! i've never bred buns myself but do go thru the occasional false pregancy with one of my labs.

 

[TinysMom]

Just a quick note - largely for myself - Mercury is now 13 pounds and 3 1/2 ounces. My "puppy" as I call him - is growing up.....

 

[SweetSassy]

I agree with Donna. As long as their happy and healthy that's all that matters. There is plenty of time for babies

Well - I'm hoping they're fine. Sophia isn't quite herself and she won't eat her food. She will take a bit of apple from me and she is drinking a lot - but she doesn't want to eat and is acting like she doesn't feel good.

By the way - when I say "bit" of apple - it was a TEENY TINY bit.

I basically wanted to see if she would take anything.

Hmmm Babies on the way maybe? I know there overdue and not likely having any but I can still wish right?

I'm sorta wishing too....but they'd be so overdue I'm thinking they'd be born dead.

I don't know what to think. I know that Athena and Sophia have both put on a lot of weight ( a LOT of weight) and their bunnies are huge. I can also feel their nipples.

I also know that if I go near Nyx's belly - she attacks me and tries to bite me.

But when I look at Mercury laying on his side - he looks like HE could be pregnant - which isn't possible.

In addition - I had two bucks (non flemish) pull fur for a nest...and one doe pull fur (and she has been no where near a buck).

I do know Sophia will take two bites of food from my hand - then realize its food and turn away. She was hesitant about the apple - but it is probably her FAVORITE treat and she doesn't get it that often.

:wiggle :agree I guess this all we can do for now. Stand and wait.

 

[SweetSassy]

ray: Your girls will be in my thoughts and prayers. If I remember right a doctor is far away from you. I hope everything will be fine. Keep us updated please.

I hope all the bunners are doing o.k.

 

[Fancy77]

I keep thinking about u and your girls...Hope all is ok

Sophia has been out playing for about 3 hours now - maybe more (actually - all the girls are out). When I went into the rabbitry she was at her cage door asking to come out and play. She hadn't eaten much of her supper so I'm a bit concerned - but she took about 1/2 of a banana from me earlier (Nyx was eating the other 1/2 plus the peel).

She's been moving around some - she's not normally an overly active girl although sometimes she will get into mischief.

She did let Nyx near her and groom her and stuff...so that is good. She also ate her carrot that I give them right before I go to bed. She just didn't want her food. She's also drinking a LOT.

Athena chowed down a lot on Nyx's food and when I just looked for her now - she had gone back in her cage and was hiding behind her nestbox and stuff.

I'm going to put the girls back in their cages soon and I plan to clean the cages first so I can monitor Sophia's cage for poop.

It is possible she snuck into Nyx's cage to eat some earlier without me seeing as Nyx's bowl is almost empty and its a huge bowl and got filled this morning.

I know folks are concerned about Sophia so I thought I would share...

From about 3 pm till a few minutes ago - she ate a small amount of her food and had about four poops that were normal size but sorta dry looking. Then again - thats fine - they still look healthy just sometimes they're different - I think it is because I didn't give her any of the supplement/topper I've been using for her.

I had noticed that the underside of her tail looked funny - not really a urine scald per se - but maybe like she was having a bit of problem urinating and I thought of Tiny and what he went through with his calcium deposits. I did find some pee that was a bit thicker than I like - but not really bad.

So...I'm putting her on bottled water - and I added almost 1 ounce of pure cranberry juice (no sugars added) to her 32 ounce water bottle a few minutes ago to encourage her to drink (which she was wanting to do anyway) and clean out her system a bit.

I'm going to continue to monitor her and even though my flemish don't get much for greens - I'm going to give her a small salad (aka tiny salad really so she doesn't get sick). We'll see if that helps her feel better since she's already used to the greens - just not on an everyday basis.

Fingers crossed for Sophia!

 

[JadeIcing]

Poor babies. Give them a kiss for me.

 

[SweetSassy]

I hope she feels better soon. :hug:



Are you worried about maybe deadkits? Sorry to be so blunt. I know there was a chance of pregnancy. Or could her loss ofappetite go along with a false pregnancy?
