As I posted in a different thread, on Saturday Ifell in love with a broken orange lop and brought her home hoping tobond her with one of my boys.

She seemed to get on with them both immediately but on day two startedfighting with them both, so I made her a separate area in the diningroom. She was with Moon but had a run between them to keep them bothsafe.

Last night (day 5) as I was going to bed, I noticed her sticking herhead through the bars and Moon grooming her. All morning they have beensitting on either side of the divide, so this afternoon I have let themout together, and after a couple of mini scuffles of Moon nipping her,they seem to be getting along great.

I know its early days and they need careful supervision but I'm chuffed that it seems to be going so well.

Pictures soon but at the moment everytime Moon sees the camera - he moves away from her!

As some of you might know, I started working in a pet shop in May and as a direct result the bunny population in my house has expanded somewhat. The guinea pigs have also become a part of daily life but that's another story for another forum!

The latest little guy is called Gizmo. He is a Lionhead and was one of my favorites on our shop floor because he was so inquisitive and friendly.
Anyways - some of the rabbits started going down with illness that was killing them, and one day when I checked Gizmo and his little friend - they both had lost weight and had dirty bums, so I immediately removed them and put them in isolation to recover.

The next day, despite my giving him a bum bath, the little friend had passed away. I was really upset and determined the same fate would not await Giz. I spoke to my superiors and convinced them to let me take him home to nurse him as I was to be off for 4 days and knew I could give him intense care.

The first night he was here his stomach was gurgling and moving, and he had really bad diarrhea.I let him run around a bit and gave him lots of good quality hay plus a really good rabbit food, and slowly he seemed to improve.

Within 3 days of eating better, getting exercise and love, his hair started growing back in where it had moulted and his funny little nature started coming back.

There was no way he was going back and so he is now part of the family. He thinks he is a cat though - his favorite spot is the top of the sofa looking out the window at the world going by.

Here are some pictures from the first week:

lemme out!!!

now what's over here....eh?!!

Do you mind - snoozing over here!

And finally Flopsy and the reason she is called that - talk about dead bunny flop!

Thank you!

They are sooo cute, that last one of Flopsy is priceless!

Would you likeme to change the title of this thread for you?

 

[Munchkin]

Thanks Michaela! I'd love to change the title to something, but not sure what. Hmmm

How about "the simple life reloaded - a photo blog for Moon, Munchkin, Flopsy and Gizmo" split into main title and subject section. Is that ok?

I just tried to put a harness on Gizmo and he bit me hard on the thigh.:shock::biggrin2: He is sulking in his cage now looking very put out. Something tells me he doesn't want to go walkies anytime soon

 

[Michaela]

Cheeky monkey! Hope it doesn't hurt too much, rabbit bites can be sore! :shock:My Ebony isn't fond of harnesses either, she panics. Pebble's happy enough on one though.

I changed the title, is that ok?
