He's a holland lop. Possibly a mix, but since he came from a pet store, we're not too sure.
Thank you, Pepper is adorable too!

He actually does have cheeks! I pet them all the time and he loves it.

PepperGrl, I think Pepper and Stanley babies would be very cute too!

Hello!

I may not be on for a day or so more since our internet is out at the house.

But here is my thought of the day:

Why is turkey meat called turkey,
yet pig is called bacon and ham andsuch?

 

[stanleysmommy]

Wow I feel to have missed so much being gone.Our internet's still not working that great. It's on right now for whoknows how long.

Hope to be fully back soon! :?

Okay I've been checking Stanley's ears for a while and I keep forgetting to ask:
Are bunnies supposed to have earwax? Are they like us and need it to keep things out?

I was just wondering, I don't want him to have something he's not supposed to. :?

It says in my rabbit book to ask your vet for asolution to wipe the ears clean but it says that you shouldn'troutinely remove the wax as it hasa protective purpose.



Stanley is so cute! My mum doesn't like lops, she thinks they lookweird, i have to show her Stanley. How can she not think lops areadorable after seeing him?:inlove:

I know! I was showing her pictures of really cute lopsbut she thinks that rabbits ears should stand up, i don't know how cananybody look at a cute lop like stanley and saythat?onder::hug:

 

[stanleysmommy]

Thanks! I love lops but I like uppy eared bunny's too.

I also have a problem. Stanley's nails are too long and because I don'thave a vet yet I can't take him there to get them clipped. I also thinkthat doing a bunny burrito would just plain freak him out and I don'twant him to hurt himself.

Any suggestions from anyone? :?

If the vet is not available, try the petshops. Some charge a $10 membership fee thatincludes unlimited nail trims for 1 year.

Another suggestion, if you know any friends that have pets(not just rabbits), they might be able to helpyou. I am babysitting a friends rabbit right nowand she is getting her nails clipped by me......nocharge.

Rainbows!

 

[stanleysmommy]

I think he'd let me do it with him just sittingon the ground but I'd have to get his paws lifted up enough plus Idon't want to cut the quick.

None of my friends would know what to do either. And I don't think I'd much trust my pet store doing it...:?

 

[FreddysMom]

a bunny burrito would probably be your best bet ..........are you able to cradle Stanley like a baby??

if so ... place a dish towel draped over your arm (the same one he willbe laying back on) and the securely wrap him up from each side....hewont be able to sqiggle away cuz you should be able to securely havehim in your arms...and then you remove one paw at a time.....i usuallylay freddy across my lap with his head under my tricep so that if hedoes freak out hes not writhing all over .. it still allows me control.

if stanley does not let you cradle him, while he is standing on hisfeet drape the towel over his back and kinda swipe him up whilesecuring him in the towel............you shouldnt have to worry aboutfreaking out if he is snugly wrapped up in there ......



Good Luck!!

 

[stanleysmommy]

Ohhh no he does not let me hold him at all!Usually if you just put your hands on both sides of him, he freaks outcause he thinks you're going to pick him up.

The problem with wrapping him is he's a fighter and will still keepstruggling even if he's in there. I can see if my mom will help me trythat though. Would it hurt to try to hold him still if he's strugglingwith it?
