No Mommie, I'm not chunky,look at me from this angle it just my fur because I'm shedding.

Actually, I was worried Spice wasn't eating enough. He would leave his food sit for quite a while before he would come around to eat it.
By then, Reese would finish her food and come and steal Spices food.

Eventually I separated the two when it comes to meals, and each would have they own dish, so I am sure they are eating properly.

When it comes to treats ... Spice would steal treats right out of Reese's mouth.

Thanks CrazyMike! I only get to keep them for another hour.I was bunnysitting them while MBB was on vacation. MBB is going to be taking them home soon.

I love Spice because he is so easy going. And my wife loves Reese because she is so cute.

Pebbles is going to be locked away, so MBB doesn't bunnynap her.

Hey Stan, if your wife likes Reese maybe you could get a look-a-like boy from the same breeder for Pebbles!:biggrin2:

If you have these 2 Stan and she was on holidays who had the other 2? Darn I shold have flown out to Alberta to Bunnynap them.

I met up with the samebreederatour Rabbit show in the Shopping Mall last weekend.

She sold three of her bunnies by the end of the show.

My wife doesn't go to the shows because of the cute bunnies.

"Take me home!"

My absolute fav picture is the stretching one of Spice!

I'm gonna miss this blog when these babies go home.

Reece is a real beauty I must agree. Very very cute.

 

[MyBabyBunnies]

I still have a camera! And now that I am not working, I have lots of time to take pictures!

I'm kind of surprised that Spice wouldn't eat right away. He gobbles down food here, or at least picks out what he wants before wandering off. But on some occasions he doesn't eat right away but he hasn't lost any weight in the months he and Reese have been bonded so I'm not worried about it!

SOOOSKA, the other 2 went to stay with my Opa for the week. He was more than thrilled to take them and was insisting that next time I take all 4 to his place so he can watch them all, LOL. They were spoiled rotten all week! He was picking stuff for them from the garden every morning. Lets just say they never went hungry.

Stan, awesome job of taking pics! They are all grand. Are you having withdrawl symptoms yet?

Laura, Reese and Spice are just stunning. Yes, get that camera going!

Is Spice eating OK now. He didn't touch his vegs this morning, but he was pooping and peeing lots.There was so much food that was available for them. One thing he had no problem eating, was all the alfalfa pellets and alfalfa hay whenever I gave him.

I weighed them when they got to our place, but forgot to weigh them when MBB came to pick them up.

I didn't get a chance to see them when we were loading up Spice and Reese. They were in cages tucked away in the back seat. And I couldn't blame MBB for wanting to get them home soon, after being away from them for so long.

Thanks AngelnSnuffy. Yes I am sad they are gone. It really hit me when I started to clean and sanitize the empty cages.

It was an honor the meet the famous two of the four bunnies of MBB. MBB is doing an incredible job handling four bunnies. Maybe next time I could see all four of them.

 

[MyBabyBunnies]

I could have taken them out of the truck, sorry! I was just so intent on getting them home. Had I come alone I would have unloaded them so they weren't in the car.

Spice is fine, it's not that uncommon for him to not eat a meal every once in a while. he just gets sick of the same old 'boring' stuff. When I got him home, I put him in the run and he ate grass and when after I picked up hay, I gave him some and he gobbled it down.

I love this picture:

She just looks so comfy. I've had her in my arms like this a few times and it's just so precious!

 

[Munchkin]

I really hope you do take loads of pics now you got your babies back - I'm smitten! I agree on that picture of Reece - how cute and cosy does she look. Awww

Great job bunnysitting Stan - they look like they felt right at home, and how did you keep the bunny cage so clean? That is a trick I've yet to master, even with a litter tray!

:shock::biggrin2:

It was a challenge. It took a while to learn their behavior and habits.

The first night I left the two together in one cage. In the morning, I found pee and poop all over the floor. The wood pellets werekicked out all over the place. Spice sleeping in the litter box, andpoor Reese was sitting in pee on the cage floor. Herfeet and butt was all wet.

The next night, I put each of them in a separate cage, because I didn't know who was peeing on the floor at night. I put a plastic screen over the wood pellets in the litter box. In the morning, I found Reese peed in her litter box, but pooped all over the cage floor. Spice pooped and peed all over the cage, and his litter box was clean (he never used it). Spice even peed in the hay rack.

I eventually found out that Spice preferred to use a smaller litter box to do his business. He would even pee in hissmall vegetable bowl. That large litter box that MBB bought for him, he would use it as a bed and not pee or poop in it. The screen worked, as the wood pellets remained in the box.

So I finally ended up giving Reese the large litter box from MBB. And giving Spice the smallest litter box. He complained (thumped) but still slept in it.

The results was Spice peed and pooped about 50/50 in the litter box and cage.

Reese peed 90% and pooped 20% in her litter box. She still preferred to poop outside the cage.

So there was alot of trial and error.

Funny thing was both of them were very good with their litter habits when I put them in the run in the basement.
