[align=left]Few more pics of Alfie from yesterday. It was sunny in the morning, so we took him to my parents' house to play in the garden. Five minutes after we arrived, it started pouring with rain... :X

So we just let him hop in the living room, until the sun came out and dried up all the rain on the patio. It was still a bit wet on the grass but we opened the french doors and fenced off a little area on the patio for him to play.

But he didn't do a lot of playing; he much preferred to sunbathe.

And then he decided the sun was a little too warm and crawled under me for cover.

Can I have Alfie?

 

[delusional]

No Ali, you can't. Still can't. =P

Little update on everyone...

Ollie and Mango - Bonding is still going well. If anything it's being held up by me being lazy about it. I need to stop being lazy, because I have a feeling they'll go together easily if I just get down to it.

Bunny - Bunny is doing okay... we're having to make some adjustments to his diet since he's having some excess cecals at the moment, but all else seems to be fine.

Nigel - is being a monkey as usual. He's ripped a massive hole in his fleece on the botom of his cage. :X Oh and last time we weighed him he'd finally gone over 1kg!

Milo - has been becoming more and more of a love-bun. In fact, he completely ignored his pellets the other day and came over and put his head down to be rubbed first. :hearts:

Raspberry and Cordie - Well, Raspberry's feeling randy.. and has been humping poor Cordie a lot. (Don't worry, I double checked - she definitely has girl bits!)

Alfie - Alfie is finally putting on a decent amount of weight! He's now about 9lbs so getting to where he should be.

Daisy - has started venturing out of the bedroom! She won't normally leave the bedroom, she'd rather run around in there and play on the bed, and she doesn't really like the living room. But she's recently started coming in to see us more.

Harvey - is getting more and more bold every day. He KNOWS he's a big rabbit, and he knows he's boss. =P Even Daisy, who snaps at almost everyone else, groomed him through her cage yesterday! He's always flopping near her. I thought I was going to bond Alfie with Daisy, but if this behaviour keeps up until after Harvey is neutered, I may have to try him with Daisy. He's started jumping up on the sofa a lot when he's out, and he'll come and stick his nose right in my face as if to say "I'm down heeeeeeeeeere... stop watching the TV and come and play with ME!"

Went to my parents house for a barbeque today (hot sunny days at the end of September, eh?) and took Harvey over beforehand to play. Tried out his new big carrier too!

[mouse_chalk]

OMG!!!!

:thud::thud::thud::thud::thud:

Harvey is gorgeous!! I want him!

How big exactly is that carrier? I've always wondered how you'd transport a Giant!!

 

[delusional]

It's this carrier we have for him at the moment. He fits in thsi one comfortably at the moment... buutt... he is only 4 1/2 months old at the moment...

I have a feeling we'll be replacing it in a few months.

 

[JadeIcing]

Can I have Alfie?

 

[delusional]

LOL Ali.

Yeah, sure you can, just as soon as you FIND him.

 

[JadeIcing]

Well thats not fair! Than I demand new pictures.

 

[JadeIcing]

How is Alfie and the rest of the gang?

 

[Jess_sully]

More pictures? Of Alfie??

:biggrin2:

 

[delusional]

Oh I'm so awful with my blog aren't I?

I promise I will take pictures this week. I'm off from work so I will have plenty of time for photographing.

For now...

Alfie is doing great. He's being so chatty at the moment. We'll be sitting watching TV and he'll be laying down and he'll start 'quacking' at us, demanding to come out. He's also been practicing his binky skills and is reaching new heights of two and a half feet!

Harvey is going to be snipped at some point this week. Need to get him booked in, but it will be in the next few days. He's gotten absolutely massive. I need to get him weighed, since I haven't recently, but put it this way - when he lays out, from nose-tip to the tips of his toes, he's two and a half NIC grids long.

Bunny has found new life, even being the old man of the house at around five years old. He's binkying more, running around more, and making every efford to be a complete nuisance at every possible opportunity.

Nigel has turned into a lion. He ROARS everytime anybun comes near him (except the yound girls, of course..)

Mango has bonded with Ollie! And is living happily in the kitchen with him now, and making a pain of herself every time we open the door. But Ollie is happier than ever to have a friend again. And Mango's started grooming him properly now (as opposed to the begrudging little licks she used to give him).

Daisy has spent a while sulking these past few days, because we took away her cushions to be washed! The bottom of her cage is padded with dog cushions, which she loves, but there was a waterbottle leak and pellets and a bit of poop all went mushy on them so they had to be cleaned.

Milo has moved into Mango's old cage, because it's bigger than his old one, and he's loving being next door to Daisy. He's also been being a real love bug, and smooshes his face into the bars whenever you walk past.

Ruby has become a permanent member of the family. We decided a while ago that she would be staying. And she is such a cuddler! She'll lay on my lap for as long as I'm willing to rub her ears and cheeks for. She's really settling in, and she's grown so much!

Cordie and Raspberry - the big news... My little harlie lop dear, Cordie, just dropped six kits today. Big shock. Big, big shock. Thought she was going through a false pregnancy and suddenly we have pinkies. So Cordie and Raspberry have been split for now, and... we'll see how things progress from here...
And, may as well stick these in here...

Oh my goodness! Congratulations/good luck on the pinkies. Keep us updated
Good luck on Harvey's neuter, and congrats on the bonding/cage moving as well
It must be crazy (but a wonderful sort of crazy) having so many buns in one house!

 

[delusional]

Hehe "a wonderful sort of crazy", what a lovely phrase! Can I steal it as my slogan?

 

[LuvaBun]

Oh wow! Lookee at those precious little wrigglies! I guess Cordie stealing Raspberry's fur makes sense now

And I am soooo glad that you kept Ruby - the poor girl needed a good, loving home (you need to update your little bunny icons )

Since you have so many new ones can I have Alfie now?

Don't think she will know till the babies start to devolope.

 

[kherrmann3]

Nigel or Harvey?
