Tasmanian Devil and Ruby!

Yeah, the new software threw me off a little; I thought they said no to use photobucket..? Anyway, I'll try again! nope, didn't work I keep clicking the little paper clip, downloading the images, and then when I push the "upload" icon it doesn't work! My iphoto isn't the problem, it's that little paper clip icon on here I'll try photobucket

More pics! This time, i have some of Taz as well; (she's hard to photograph, so not as many pics of her as Ruby!)

This was the grass cave Taz has. as you can see, it's taken a beating!

---- hay roller thing Taz adores!

--this is a good view of their cage. sorry about the mess, i literally took a ton of pics, and then cleaned the cage :rollseyes

[Hyatt101]

Thanks! Yes, I want to get them spayed when they're old enough! The pic you loved morgan was what my mom saw when she thought Ruby was dead

More pictures to come, although I might end up repeating some on accident

I love your pictures!!! It's fun to see your cage setup and your buns. They both look really happy Yes, rabbits can be messy little critters when they want to be. I have an idea that might help cut down on your buns leaving their poops everywhere, so much. It's something that worked with my rabbit, Baby. She used to have a corner litter box. She was driving me crazy cause she would dig the litter out of it, she would pee on the floor of her cage instead of her litter box, and she was leaving her poops all over her cage. It was always a big mess to clean up. So I went to walmart and got a rectangle kitty litter box that is about 14x19. I put in a layer of litter that is thicker at the back part of the litter box where she usually pees, and toward the front of the litter box I put some hay for her. I also moved the litter box to the corner where there is a divider between her and another one of my rabbits. It's worked wonderfully. She never pees outside of the litterbox now, and there are hardly ever any poops outside of it either. She has to sit in the litter box to eat her hay so that helps keep almost all of her poops in the box. I think it has also helped with any territorial marking by placing the litter box by the divider between the two cages. So if you can afford to get two new litter boxes, then it may help your buns with being a little less messy. I think I paid about $7 for mine. You'll want to make sure the one you get is only 14 inches wide so that it will fit in the cubby hole where your litter boxes are now. You may be able to get the same one I got. It should fit in that space fine. By the way, your Ruby looks a lot like my Baby, but Baby is a hotot/lionhead mix. And yes, Baby likes to nap in hers too, on top of her soft hay pile

That litter box set up is the same I used for Foo. She started going in the box a lot more when I did it like that, then I put the grate on top of it and she peed in it 100% of the time and poop was about 80%, which was pretty good.
Taz is so cute!

Aww Jenny, Baby is so pretty. You're right Ruby and Baby look similar! They're both so adorable.

 

[Hyatt101]

Aww, Baby is precious! Yes, we were planning on buying 2 more rectangle litterboxes per rabbit, so to increase chances on them going in there! Ruby is really good about peeing in the litterbox, but is starting to get 'sloppy' with her poops Taz is...at this point... hopeless! Haha, hopefully she'll get better with more than one litterbox in the cage!
Thanks guys! I'll post the last of my pics later!

Last of the pictures: (I don't THINK I repeated any picture, but tell me if I did!)

---I let Taz out, and she was checking out Ruby's half of the cage.

---I took this cardboard box (I replace it once its dirty) and put tons of hay in it, and put it on Ruby's top level, and she LOVES it! She uses it as a litterbox when she's on the top level, so I have to get rid of the box and replace it often.

---Taz checking out my printer

 

[whitelop]

They're both so cute. I love Taz's single mane, its really cute!

Ruby is adorable! Is she small? I know she's a hotot but, she looks kind of big to me. That could just be the picture. You know, the camera adds 10 lbs. lol

 

[Hyatt101]

Haha yeah! Ruby's pretty small, she's thinner in body structure than Taz, but I haven't weighed her yet. She's a tiny thing though The pics do make her look much bigger than she is; when the breeder I got her from sent me pics of her before I got her, I thought she looked huge! But, then, I got her, and I was surprised at how small she was!

 

[Hyatt101]

Does Ruby look like she's forming a dewlap to you guys?

 

[Hyatt101]

New update: ( this is sent from my iPad so excuse any mistakes ) we did this thing to Taz and Ruby's cage to keep poop ffrom falling out the back... We put cardboard around the back, but we also folded it at the bottom and tucked part of it under the cage so that the poop would hopefully stay in the cage. Opinions?

Taz and Ruby are still great! They groom each other through the divider a lot now. One thing I want to do with them is teach them tricks. Anyone have ideas for tricks, or even easy agility?

 

[whitelop]

I think putting the cardboard on the back of the cage is a great idea! That will help out a lot I'm sure!

Awww, how sweet are they to groom each other through the bars! I bet thats adorable.

I don't know much about tricks or agility. I would take it easy on Taz though, since she had a leg injury. And they're still babies so you don't want to push them too hard. There is an agility group on here, you could ask them questions!
