The Bunhalla Bunnies 2011

[myheart]

Oh that is so sweet!! I remember the way Patrick was so excited to see Luna when it was time to come out of their cages in the morning. He always acted like it was their first day together. Such excitement from one little boy...

 

[Myia09]

Awww!

 

[kirbyultra]

Aww, the buns really miss each other. I think it might be the warmth of touching each other that is different when it's through the bars. Not even my pair lay near each other when they are caged. Your buns are sweet. Berry can't make a mess with her hay and litter if she's caged right? At least you didn't have to clean in the morning after getting no sleep!

 

[Dragonrain]

I think you are probably right - 10 mins after I let her out of the cage I went in the room to check on them and they where all cuddled up in a bunny pile.

Haha Berry sure tried her hardest to make a mess even in the cage. It wasn't nearly as bad as it would have been if I didn't cage her, but not from lack of trying. I have a cardboard box on the top floor of their condo, which probably wasn't the best idea but it fit so perfectly up there. But when I cage them, which isn't often, they take out their frustrations on the box.

 

[Myia09]

Bunny piles So, did I miss that you got all three bonded? Do I have a bad memory? *flips back on the pages*

 

[Dragonrain]

Yes they are rebonded again now :biggrin:

Until Berry calms down again I think caging her is going to have to be a nightly thing. I feel bad, but I just can't function well on the amount of sleep I've been getting lately, because Berry wakes me up once every few hours. I don't think she has too much to complain about since the cage is huge and 3 stories, and she still has all day to run around as much as she wants.

 

[Myia09]

A www that is so great to hear!!

 

[Dragonrain]

Thanks! :biggrin:

Chris came home from work sick today. I felt so bad for him, he was really dizzy and had a hard time taking the train home. Kit and I walked to the train station to walk home with him and then he went right to bed. So it's been a really quiet day for me.

Dogs are such amazing animals. Kit has not left Chris' side since Chris got home. I know he knows that Chris is sick and he's worried about his best buddy. He's all snuggled up next to him and he refuses to leave Chris' side. He wouldn't even leave him to go into the kitchen to eat his dinner so he got dinner in bed because I didn't want him to go hungry.

I love all animals, especially the ones who live with me, but I have never had a pet before that was so dedicated to his people. The bunnies and every other pet I've ever owned couldn't care less when one of us is sick. I wish Kit was immortal. He's so perfect for us and such an amazing part of our little family, I'd be completely devastated if anything ever happened to him.

Uh so stressed out.

I'm trying to help my sister find a home for a few of her animals. She's unfortunately in the process of getting evicted and is having a hard time finding a new apartment that will allow her to bring all her pets with her. If she doesn't find a pet friendly apartment by the end of the month then she'll have to get rid of her pets. She really loves them but her two kids come first, she needs to find a new place to live even if all she can find is somewhere where she can't bring her animals.

Soooo she's looking for a GOOD new home for her two cats...

They are very bonded and need to stay together. Stewie is the cat on top and he is literally the friendliest cat I have ever met. He's great with other animals including other cats and dogs of all sizes. Batlee is the cat on the bottom, he's the older of the two and is a bit skittish but is friendly once you earn his trust. Both cats are great with kids too, especially Stewie who loves to snuggle with my sister's 4 year old and doesn't mind being picked up.

And also one (for now) of her dogs...

Tex is a 2 year old intact male. He was a puppy mill puppy. He's probably some kind of mix, but he's small and we think he may be at least partly Jack Russel. He's hyper and playful but is potty trained and sweet. He's good with other dogs of all sizes and cats, not sure how he is with small animals.

Ugh and I'm also looking for a last minute home for this dog...

Some of you may recognize him, I dog sat for him around Christmas time and posted some pictures of him then. He's a great little dog, very sweet to humans. He's older (4 I think?) so he's out of the crazy puppy stage but he's still playful. He is potty trained and neutered. I'd LOVE to take him in myself, but unfortunately he's not a good match for us. He's dominate and a bit snippy to other dogs and having him around stresses our dog Kit out too much. We have to but Kit's comfort first. He (his name is Loki BTW) would probably do best as an only dog or with an owner who has some experience dealing with very dominate dogs.

Loki is in Northern NJ and his owner is moving TOMORROW, so if anyone is interested in him I have to know today! If we don't find him a home today his owner will be taking him to Arizona with him and will probably try to find him a new home there.

Tex, Batlee, and Stewie are all in upstate NY and we are trying to find them a new home before the end of the month if possible.

For all 4 of these animals, I'm willing to work out transports and/or foster them for a little while if that will help get them into a new home.

If by some chance anyone here is interested please contact me ASAP. Even if you live in a different area/state let me know. If you are interested in my sisters animals you can send me a message here or email me. If you're interested in Loki it would be best to email me because he's leaving my area tomorrow if I can't find him a home before then. My email address is [email protected]

If your unable to find a home for Loki and he does move out to Arizona I could help the owner find him a new home or possibly even foster Loki (just depends on how loki is around children). I hope he find a good home.

 

[MiniLopHop]

Good luck finding new homes for the pets. Unfortunately if I took any of them I would be looking for a new home and a new husband. We are at our limit. ray:

 

[Dragonrain]

Thanks. I didn't find anyone to take Loki but his owner is taking him on the move and will see how he gets along with his girlfriends 4 dogs. Hopefully they all get along so Loki's dad can keep him.

My sister's animals I'll keep looking for homes for, luckily we have a little bit more time to look for them.

 

[Myia09]

Aw I really hope they find homes. I know how hard it is to find a pet friendly apartment (Thankfully I found one).

May I ask why she is getting evicted? Falling on hard times? I also know when you get evicted and have animals, most place even animal friendly won't let you bring them in because the eviction could have had something to do with him. My mom's landlord told me this. :/

I hope all works out.

 

[Nela]

Awww I really hope everything works out for all involved! Your sister's cats are so precious. What a hard situation she seems to be in. I'm sure it breaks her heart to have to think of possibly having to rehome them. I certainly understand having to think of the kids and herself first. Just, it must be such a stressful timefor her... I guess the kids must be quite attached to the pets as well... Bah. How sweet of you to help.

I'm glad Loki is getting a chance at settling in with his family. I guess we can hope that it;ll work out for him? Hopefully, he'll be nice to the other dogs. That must be tough for his owner as well.

Glad your buns are back together :biggrin2:

 

[Dragonrain]

Yeah Loki's owner really loves him, but he is moving in with his girlfriend who has 4 dogs of her own and Loki does not have a good track record with other dogs. I hope things work out for them and they can keep him. I wish things where different, if Loki and my dog Kit got along better I would take Loki in a heart beat. I watched him for awhile around Christmas time and I feel like I really bonded with him. I'm going to be really sad to see him go, but like I said Kit was here first and we have to put his needs/comfort first. While Loki was here in December, he stressed Kit out so much that Kit threw up. Kit is a sensitive dog and Loki really made him nervous/uncomfortable in his own home which is unfair to Kit.

Aw I really hope they find homes. I know how hard it is to find a pet friendly apartment (Thankfully I found one). May I ask why she is getting evicted? Falling on hard times? I also know when you get evicted and have animals, most place even animal friendly won't let you bring them in because the eviction could have had something to do with him. My mom's landlord told me this. :/ I hope all works out.

Um it's a long story but her getting evicted has nothing to do with her pets. Basically her and her fiance, who have been together for 6 years now and they have 2 kids together, are going through a break up. It's been long due because he treats her so badly. She is getting evicted basically because her neighbor keeps calling the cops on her because her and her ex keep getting into fights. She's getting blamed for disturbing the peace when in reality it's her ex who is not suppose to be in the house who is causing the problems. He even broke into her apartment once and stole from her and his own children. He's a creepy guy and all in all it's a VERY good thing that she's going to be getting away from him, but it's turning into a long stressful process. She did not expect to have to be apartment hunting in the middle of dealing with everything else.

She's prepared to rehome all her pets if that's what needs to be done, because finding a place for her children to live is the most important thing right now. She's hoping she can keep one of her dogs, the husky she rescued last year who she has become very attached too, and her 4 year old daughters G.Pig. But we'll see. My parents will probably be taking the G.Pig and husky if my sister can't find a place that will allow them. So that leaves Tex and the two cats needing a new home, and her fish which I'm not sure about but she hasn't asked me to help her rehome them so I assume she'll maybe try to take them too.

 

[Dragonrain]

My sissy is looking at a place tomorrow that is rent to own, $200 cheaper than where she lives now, and pet friendly Hopefully it works out because then she probably won't need to rehome any of the pets. We'll see what happens.

Ugh hearing her talk about prices where she lives makes me jealous. I know like 3 different people who pay half the amount of money a month for mortgage than what we pay for rent. I want to move so bad, then we'd probably be able to afford to buy a house rather than renting and still have our monthly payments come out cheaper. But Chris keeps saying he doesn't think we're ready yet. I'm going to keep bugging him about it lol.

Berry is molting. I have to vacuum the bunny room everyday and still every morning the rug looks like a diffrent color because it has a layer of Berry's white fur on it. At least (so far) it's just Berry and not the other two too. I hate when they all molt at the same time!

 

[Myia09]

Aw send your sister my condolences

But that is good news! I hope she does't have to!

 

[Dragonrain]

Yeah all in all, although the situation is very stressful for her right now, it's a GREAT thing that she's getting away from her ex. It's just going to be really sad if she has to get rid of her pets in the process, but she's working hard to try to prevent that from happening.

 

[Dragonrain]

Just ordered 10 lbs of hay and 20 lbs of pellets! Ah I've never bought that much pellets at once lol, I barely even feed them any. I'm planning on freezing them so hopefully they last a long time and I won't need to keep buying them/paying to have them shipped.

I'll need to make another bulk hay order soon though...10 lbs won't last me too long. But next time I can order just hay and get a 30 lb box of hay because I won't need to get pellets too.

The bunnies are doing well. Today was cleaning day and it was really nice out so I was able to keep the bunny room window open. It felt so nice to be able to air their room out.

 

[kirbyultra]

Yeah I agree, the weather yesterday was unbelievable. It smelled like spring Today it smells like Mother Nature slapped me in the face. I can't believe the temperature swings we're having.

I order my buns 14 lbs of hay from SMF and it lasts them like 3-4 weeks. I bought 9 lbs of Oxbow Orchard Grass 2 weeks ago and they blew through it all already. These bunnies are nuts.

Thankfully mine are done with their molt, about 90% done anyway. I don't have to vacuum every day at least! I'll take that.

I am happy for your sister, on all counts. Hope she gets to keep her animals!
