Poppy, Pebbles, Jasmine and Bruno's Blog!

[Spring]

I am such a bad blogger when it comes to the bunnies, but I'll try to fill you in from when I last updated (can't even remember when that was!) to now, then I'll try my best to keep updating.. so here we go! Be prepared to read a mini novel..

Rewind to a few months back, May 16th to be exact!I hadbeen thinking about spaying the girls for a bit, and finally got the nerves to do it. An appointment was booked for May 4th, but had to be rescheduled to May 16th. Morning of, I was quite anxious butthe girls didn't seem bothered at the least! Fed everyone, got them ready in their carriers, and off we went!

They passed with flying colours and everything turned out SO well. I came home with two very sore very dopey bunnies!

They healed quite nicely, although it was tough at times with Poppy!

On May 21, I met my little hunk of bunny love, Bruno! Bruno is a 7-9lb, 6 month old French lop. I fell in love with his big dopey face and his loving personality the moment he got put into my arms. He is an amazing boy, and his personality continues to shine! I'm learning new things about him everyday!

When we first brought him, he seemed a bit unsure of where he was, but he soon adjsuted to living in the surroundings of his new life .

A lotof things were going on inmy life, lots of good things!Bruno started fitting right into his new home, and was becoming avery good boy!He is bursting with so much personality and energy, and I could start to see him loving and enjoying his new home...

Now that the girls were spayed and healed, I also wanted to see how they would be with bonding. I tried some tub bonding sessions first..

Then when that was going very well, I did a fewfoyer bondings..

That's a bit of a catchup from the past, now for the present!

The girls are still doing wonderful! I haven't been doingenough of the bonding sessions, bad mommy! They still enjoy each others company when one is out andcontinue to be little rascals!

Mommy had a bonding session today in the office that went really well! We're on our way to becoming bonded, way to go girls! (This was just for temp. so hadn't bunny proofed yet :shock

Bruno is still his playful little self. He is enjoying his long nightly run around doing laps around the living room and jumping on tables. He is so full of energy! I am hoping to get him neutered very soon so the bonding of the magnificent trio can begin!

Thanks for reading,. and I apologize for the length! Stay tuned, more to come from Springs bunch!

:biggrin2::group2:

Nice PJ's in the cuddling vid

The girls look like they're gonna get along just fine, Pebbles seems not to care at all about Poppy and Poppy looks a bit nerveous of Pebbles, but you're doing a great job!

Give a cuddle to them for me and a biiiiiiiiig kiss on the cheek to Bruno! :hug:

Im so happy for you Spring! Everyone looks so happy and healthy.

Im so glad that bonding is going well. I hope they will be best friends soon. And then hopefully you can bring Bruno into the mix one day as well.

And I love all the pics and videos, it was a long time coming !:hug:

Oh, I know...I'm a bad blogger, too. I juuust updated mine after...what? A few months?
Anyway, glad to hear your bunnies are doing okay with the spaying and bonding and all. Looks like everything is going good, from the looks of it.
Whoo, I'm just now catching up to everything that's happened since I left. Hoo boy. But I'll be on every day again, so I can talk more, now...
Love to the bunnies for me!

I was about to scream (from joy) when I saw the girls were bonded. Almost - way to go!!!

I can't wait for the looooove trio to form. Thanks for the updates, Spring!!

 

[polly]

[AngelnSnuffy]

Thanks guys for your comments!

Everyone going excellent! I did another office bonding session two days ago, and I'm just in the middle of one as I type . Not too much progress with them being out because they have such short attention spans, when one is about to make a move to sniff or groom, the other doesn't even notice and just hops away to explore. The only interaction has been a few nips and circling. Poppy lunges and tries to nip when Pebbles runs past, and then when Poppy comes up to say Hi Pebbles gets defensive and bites. Or Pebbles will follow Poppy and wait until she stops, then nip like mad at her rear until she moves again! They've also been jumping and running over each other :shock:! Silly things!

Here's a few pics and videos of how things went for the bonding session June 17th. This one went alright, nothing too bad . A few of the usual nips and little interactions, but they were playing closer and closer to each other.



Pebbles under her chair being a little party pooper!

Together

And then I am just uploading some pictures and the video of how it went today . Nothing too bad though there was a bit of circling when Poppy tried to mount Pebbles, but didn't turn out into anything.

I think the next step is to take a ride out for a car bonding!

 

[Butterfinger]

Looks like it's going pretty okay
Good luck with the car bonding! I hope that goes well

 

[Spring]

Thanks! Me too, I was going to put them in the laundry basket so they'd be forced to be near each other, maybe I can do that tomorrow. Here are the videos and pictures from today, and I took lots of Bruno photos and video and a video each of the girls I'm busy uploading. Bruno is so hard to take pictures of outside his cage because he follows the camera around!

Enjoy! More to come in a bit or tomorrow!

 

[Spring]

Bruno pictures are ready! I had him out tonight and just loves his time out! He'll be racing, sniffing around, flopping over and having a great time! I took loads of pictures, but here's just a few of my favourites .

Personal vacuum anyone?

There ya go!

:dude:

 

[Butterfinger]

Goodness gracious, that last picture is just precious I love it when they're all sleepy and just smoosh their faces on the ground like that~

 

[NZminilops]

Too...much...cuteness....arrrrggghhhhhh :shock:

 

[Spring]

Just thought I'd pop in for a quick update...

Last night I sort of connected the girls cage with a NIC grid in between so they could have some contact with each other. They seem to enjoy being closer to each other. Pebbles was digging and pulling at Poppy's shirt that was close to Pebbles' side of the cage and they seem to be enjoying themselves . There was no tuffs of fur on the ground this morning, so that's good! Hopefully they'll be bonded soon!

Sarah, the breeder I got Bruno from, also sent me some baby pictures she had the other day. I just fell in love with them, and must say, I think Bruno was one of the cutest babies I've ever seen! Hope you will enjoy them as much as I do!

He is the one on the bottom left. This was at approx. 7 days old if I remember correctly. I just love that little mark on his nose! So cute!

This is at 3 weeks old. I so wish I could have been around him while he was this young. I never imagined there'd be anything cuter than Bruno, but baby Bruno is pretty darn cute!

And at four weeks old. He still has that cute little mischievous face. I just love my big baby boy!

Ugh.. I'm just taking a break from cleaning thedownstairs living room where Bruno is. If it was just Bruno's mess, it'd take me 15 minutes.. but I guess I'm living with a bunch ofpigs as brothers!I've been cleaning for an hour anda half, and still only half done..talk about discouraging!

Hi everyone! Update time

Ughh! It's been quite hot these past days, and only supposed to get hotter. The girls have lots of frozen water bottles, but don't seem too interested in them, they'd rather lay out in their boxes. Bruno is sitting facing the fan with two forzen water bottles on either side. I didn't have it on him before, but when he was out and I had it going he would sit in front of it so I just pointed it at his cage and he's been sitting facing it ever since .

I've been making some progress with bunny bonding, but we did have a minor set back a few days ago with the first major fight. There's been a few brawls, but this one was the two going at it in circles, tussling over each other. They were doing so well too! So might have to go back to the tub for a few sessions, then go back to foyer bonding.

I had them in the laundry basket and walked around with thema few days ago. This seemed to help as they huddled together and didn't seem too bothered being next to each other. They also got to meet Bruno in the laundry basket! All three where very happy to see each other, and even Poppy wanted to climb over the basket and come into Bruno's cage. Bruno was very happy to see them, but was very calm.

Here's lots of videos and pictures I've been meaning to post, hehe. Enjoy! :biggrin2:

Pebbles was acting very playful so I got the camera out, then decided she'd act annoyed with me.. I had been playing with Poppy, so I got their names mixed up! Silly me, hehe!



Bonding pics..

First trio meeting pics

More to come later! Have a dozen videos I still need to upload.. ahh!

Thanks everyone! A sleepy note from Spring...

Ugh..Argh...Ergh... Blah... :grumpy:

Bruno for sale!!

I got a nice morning wake up at 5:30from my mom saying Bruno was going nuts chewing his cage.. So I go down and he's just going at his coroplast and wouldn't even stop until I had to pick his front end up to try to pull him away, then he'd go straight back! Mean while my brother on the couch is snoring as loud as the sound of Bruno chewing, and my other brother is trying to sleep in the next room.

So I try to quietly put the carrier together because I took the top off last night. Trying to do this without making noise is nearly impossible for me, but I managed. So I got Bruno out, and I think he made a conscious decision to be extra naughty for tired and sleepy Mommy, so mommy had to chase him around the room making sure he didn't take a running leap at the 3 foot high 'road block' to get to his favourite spot - behind the t.v. stand. He managed to get over it a few times by climbing over, so I'm going to have to figure something out with that.

Running around didn't work because that was just as noisy as being in the cage, so now he is my prisoner as I type this. I have him sitting in his carrier in the computer room under lock down. I know he isn't too pleased with me and I'm sure I'll get the butt and get flicked off for this, but this'll have to do for another half our until my brother wakes up!

I think it's past neuter time!

Lots of pictures and videos later in the day hopefully.
