No new pics, sorry. This is a quick post, just a few stories I wanted to share.
The other day, Frida woke us up by thumping constantly. It was about 6am (which is very early for us), on a Saturday. We couldn't do anything to make her calm down and we weren't sure what was causing it. That's the time she usually does her binky-fest in preparation for breakfast, so maybe she was just upset that we weren't paying attention to her performance. Anyway, I checked her out to make sure there was nothing medically wrong with her, and noticed her scent glands were gross. I cleaned those scent glands, at 6 on a Saturday morning. Now she knows better than to thump us awake! We would have fed her, but that just leads to being woken up earlier and earlier, in my experience.
Frida is such a spitfire! She attacked my foot the other day for no reason. Also, when we give the guys their daily treat, some she will take from my hand (yogies, papaya tabs, and the sort), but others she will only steal from Benjamin! If it's a carrot day, she will not take a carrot that's sitting right in front of her. Instead, she will steal the one that Benjamin has already started eating, and run away! I think she's letting him check it for poison for her. Her days as a wild bunny have caused her to not trust people, perhaps. She also throws the bits of hay she doesn't like across the cage.
Benjamin is adorable and puts up with all of Frida's strange antics. He has such a shiny coat now and is becoming very personable!
The other day, Tony jumped up on the couch while I was watching TV and decided to dig on the comforter I was snuggling in. This was a bit annoying, so I did the "calm down the bunny" trick where you put your hand over their ears. This did not work. After trying several times to calm him down, I had his face right next to mine while I tried the hand trick. Instead of calming down, he bit me right on the tip of the nose and ran away!
Also, this morning he was eating parsley and had green mess on his face from it. It was adorable, but alas no camera in sight.
Muffin has jumped up on the couch to be with me once or twice, but mostly she sits at my feet. She's such a sweet girl and is no longer afraid of the levels in their cage.
Petunia gets too many treats. She knows when it's time for the bunnies to be fed and sticks her nose out of her burrow waiting for some little bit of veggie to come her way too. She's healthy and the vet said she's very personable and outgoing.
