Pepsi and Ozzy

[binkies]

Thank you for the pictures!

 

[Haley]

They are just the cutest couple! I cant wait tosee lots of pics of them snuggling together after she heals. Im just sohappy for you guys.

Thats great that your boyfriend is good with the bunnies.Those cute little faces are hard to resist!

PS. Are you watchingthe pistons? This is awesome!

 

[iluvmybuns]

Yeah, Pepsi is going to be kept under verystrict regulations while she's healing, I'm a very cautious person.Maybe even a little overboard, but that's okay. I'm just hoping thatthis whole spay ordeal goes okay. I'm going to be the biggest spazzthat whole day! She does see a VERY good bunny vet though.

Haha Haley, I am watching the game! I love those men. Anyway....I'mglad my boyfriend loves the bunstoo, he came to the shelterwith me to get Ozzy. I love when guys act tough and then baby-talk abunny when they think noone's around!!
There's no resisting a fuzzy little ball of bunny I guess!!

 

[Haley]

Yeah, my boyfriend is like that too. Helovesmy boyMax (he pretty much raised Max). I catchhim snuggling him and baby talking to him all the time.

You have had some good luck so far! When I got Max to bond with Basil Iwas told Max was a girl so I had some very tough bonding. It isdefinitely not fun. I think these two will be great together. If theyregetting along now they should be fine.

 

[iluvmybuns]

Oh lord, that must have sucked!!!!

Oh my gosh you shouldve just seen what just happened, I walked in tocheck on them and I dont think Pepsi couldve been any more SMOOSHEDagainst a cage again in her life!!! That one needed a camera, I'm tooslow!

 

[Haley]

Did Rochelle tell you not to let them outtogether or something? I personally dont see any harm in it. My boyTumnus was bonded with my Lucy before she was spayed. I rescued her andhad to put her spay off to get some money saved up. They were togetherfor a few months before her spay. They were back together 3-4 daysafter her surgery because I could tell they wanted to be together. Theywere doing what Pepsi is right now.

 

[iluvmybuns]

No I just heard from so many people to keep themseperated for a week. I wasn't sure why either, but her spay is comingup in 4 days, maybe that's why? Do you think I should try it? I CAN'Tsee anyone being aggresive....

 

[Haley]

I really think its fine as long as theres nofighting and no stress. The only reason would be to keep things lowstress for her before her surgery. If theyre best buddies already Ireally think its OK.

And as for after the surgery, its the same. Keep them apart for atleast 2-3 days so you can monitor her eating/pooping, but the onlyreason to keep them apart is so that he doesnt mount her and hurt her.If they are best friends and get along fine (laying by eachothers cagesand missing eachother) I think its comforting for them to be together.

 

[iluvmybuns]

Okay well, I'll see if she's still doing thatwhen I go in my room again. She isn't out here with me that's forsure..."Julia? Who's Julia? Oh yeah, that HUMAN"

If she's still like that, we may just have to see what happens... If not I'll sleep on it and they can play a little tomorrow!

Thanks Haley!

 

[iluvmybuns]

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!All my other pages are gone!! LAME

 

[Haley]

Oh yeah, we lost all the May posts Do you still have those pics on your camera or photobucket acct?? You'll have to repost them. I know, its a pain

PS. How did the buns do at your sis's for the weekend?

 

[iluvmybuns]

Oh they travelled very well I must say. The only thing that was bad was trying to get them into the carrier at home! But they were very well behaved for Sara, aside from random poo's on the floor. I love my good buns! I'm sure they will be very good for you too!

 

[iluvmybuns]

Oh and just to fill in the blanks, I bonded Pepsi and Ozzy with the help of Haley in literally an hour. They just love eachother! Here are the pics of the first date:

And some other pics too

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

That's just wonderful, I'm jealous, I'm having a bit of trouble in the bonding dept.

They are so cute together!

 

[Haley]

Aww Im glad you got your pics back up!

And thats great they had fun staying with their aunt Sara. They are pretty easy going bunnies from what I can tell. We'll have fun when they come to visit. This big lop boy Max Im fostering likes to run around and say hello to everyone so I hope they dont mind.

Oh and you get to meet Mr. Tumnus, everyone here will be so jealous!

 

[iluvmybuns]

YAY for Tumnus! I know I will love him. And yes, my bunnies will probably love all the visiting from other buns. Ozzy is so much fun you'll see when you let him out. He thinks he's a puppy!

I love my babies!

 

[Haley]

Thought I'd post some pics of the kids that I took during their visit. They are too fast to get any good pics unless they are eating.

Ozzy chowing down on hay:

"What do you want?"

Pepsi, getting her fill:

Pepsi and Ozzy:

"Dear God, please send mom to get us soon":

They are such wonderful bunnies. So fun and friendly! They will have to come for a visit again soon.

 

[iluvmybuns]

Thank you so much for everything, Haley!!!!!! For taking care of my babies, sending me home with a huge bag of hay, and now for posting these pics!!! I'm glad because I still can't connect my camera to my computer. Ozzy ate the cord and they don't make it anymore!!!!! I'll have to wait til I get a new camera, so that was awsome. Now I just have to figure out how to get them onto photobucket...anyway....

Youre the best!!!!

And for the record, yes. My bunnies are wonderful. I have no idea how I got so lucky to have such an easy time with them both, training, behavior, bonding, everything. I am very blessed.

 

[Haley]

aww youre welcome :hug:

Oh, and if you havent already noticed, that hay is a little dusty when its in the bag. I usually sort of shake it a little in the bag before I pull it out. It helps a little.

 

[iluvmybuns]

Well it has been forever since I posted anything on the blog here, since I still have no camera cord. Lame.

But just to update:

Both my babies are happy, healthy, and messy as always!

We did have a bout of GI stasis with my baby Ozzy a while ago. That was a very scary thing, I thought I was going to lose him for sure. But he was very strong and we spent a few days at the vet and a few nights without sleep. He seems to have made a pretty quick and full recovery though!! The sweetest thing though, is that I never realized how much Pepsi loves Oz.

Usually he grooms her and she walks away. Or he'll bow his head down under her she give him a lick and take off. She usually seems indifferent towards him. Occasionally I'd walk in and catch serious snuggling going on.

But while Ozzy was sick, she was a different rabbit. And still is different. She let me know Ozzy wasn't feeling well by mounting him like crazy everytime they came in the living room. Within a few days (while my sister was bunnysitting of course) he got super sick. She knew it and was constantly grooming him, putting her head on top of his, or smooshing herself right up under him. When I would go to pick him up to go to the vet or give him meds, she was right on top of him, almost like she was trying to hold him down so I couldn't get to him.

The kicker was at the vet. I have sweet bunnies but neither are very physically affectionate. The vet took Ozzy back to do X-rays and sub-q fluids. Pepsi immediately jumped into my lap (I was on the floor), actually put her head under my hand so she couldn't see and just froze like that. The second the vet came back in with Oz she jumped up and ran over to him. I have never seen anything like it. She was so happy to see him come back, and since then, she cuddles with Ozzy a lot....And me!!!

It's very strange, sometimes my boyfriend will come over and sit on the couch and it will actually take me a few minutes to realize, she is just cuddled into him. Not even trying to go anywhere. It's so wonderful. Ozzy still hates being picked up. Probably even more now, since he thinks I'm taking him to the vet or shoving gross stuff down his throat!! But maybe he will learn from her...

Well that's all the rambling I'll do for now.
