i can't believe i have missed this blog, and these 2 adorable bunnies!

I read over my old posts and realized I haven't talked about their personalities in a long time. It's been an interesting year, to be sure! I'd never had rabbits before so I've learned a lot.

At first Riley was quite socially aggressive and even bit pancake once. In the last 3 or 4 months, he's humped her once that I've seen but that's it. He's still big and a bit dominant but he's not violent at all and generally chill.

Riley LOVES to cuddle. I love how cuddly he is and I give him cuddles and nose rubs every day. Of all the pets I've had, 2 cats a dog and a hamster (well, those were all when I was a kid), Riley's been the most cuddly. His winter coat makes him so fuzzy, too.

Pancake is less affectionate now than she used to be. I still get bunny kisses every few days, so that's nice. I notice she's happier if I moderate pellet eating time. Riley has a tendency to want to eat Pancake's pellets and she ends up not eating as much. If I'm there I can keep them separated a bit so she can eat. For the most part she's on her own though. And she's not at all afraid to steal treats from Riley. She's much more assertive than she used to be.

I'm a bit sad because Riley is 4 years old or close to it. From what I hear, big rabbits like him don't live as long, maybe 6 or 8 years. So I try to spend extra time with him. Pancake is 2 or close to 2. I've wondered what she'll think when Riley's gone. Will she be lonely? Will she be glad that big oaf isn't around to steal her food? I'm glad I won't have to find out for quite some time.

For now they are happy, healthy bunnies! I'm going to go see what they're up to right now. I bet they want more hay.

It's not official yet, but the symptoms match. They have ringworm again.

 

[JeffS]

no ringworm yay!

Your bunnies are beautiful!

 

[katt]

bump!

how are you and the buns? I think we could all use an update and maybe a few photos?

 

[JeffS]

Thanks for the bump.

If yahoo weather is right, tomorrow will be a binkyful day outside. I'll do my best to remember the video camera.

 

[JeffS]

It wasn't a terribly eventful day, but they were cute just the same.

They must really like grass! My Muffin is the same way when I take her outside, except she doesn't do the binkies! I love to see big bunny binkies!

Such a great video! adorable buns!

 

[katt]

okay, so here is the plan:

You drive up to Traverse City, and bring pancake and Riley. I will take you out to eat lunch (or dinner, I am not picky, but breakfast is a little early for me), then when you are full and happy from the food, I send you back home, but keep the bunnies here, with me. . .:whistling

. . . how does that plan work for you? Cause I love Pancake and want her

 

[SweetSassy]

I am extremely sad that I have to write this, my last post for Pancake. She received her last nose rubs this morning.
