lol You guys are crazy funny! :biggrin:
Ok Hopscotch has been here for over a week now and settling in wonderfully. The potty training is driving me nuts. I keep reading and watching videos on potty training and everything I have tried so far isn't working. :?I keep reading about how it takes 1 day to a couple of weeks. My Hopscotch is NOT a 1 day gal lol. I'm still holding out hope it is just her getting adjusted, but it has gotten worse. She poos everywhere. It is like hop, poo, hop, poo. lol I read this scattered poo thing is territorial. There isn't just one spot she goes even when she is in her cage, it is everywhere. I have been caging her at night and I think she saves all her poo all night so she can run around and spread her "love" in the morning. lol The worst part is she has started to pee by the front door and a couple other spots. I have been running around after her spraying vinegar solution to clean so hopefully she won't smell it. Also There are no longer floor rugs anywhere in the house because these are her favorite to go on, so I removed them. Also I have seen her do the "circle spray" thing 3 times, and all 3 times by the front door. Our front door is in our kitchen. Should I block her from the kitchen for awhile and see if this stops? My biggest worry is this is her telling us she is not happy or feels threatened.She rubs her head on everything in the house all day, I read this was a scent thing, establishing her space. I have also seen my female cat go right back and rub her face on all the same things. Are they fighting for territory?
On a lighter note I have found out she LOVES ice! I can put 2 ice cubes in a dish and it keeps her HIGHLY entertained! It is great for when I have to walk out of the room for a few. I think I am going to make her bunny safe popsicles with greens and a little fruit for special treats. (Oh boy my friends think I lost it, wait until I start talking about bunny popsicles. :headsmack) :biggrin:
Even funnier, my Geoffrey opened up the computer and found out about my Hopscotch blog. Let's just say I got a really odd look and a smile. After letting me know this is a reason he loves me, he made a comment about how he can't think of a bigger waste of time. I let him know that the reason he didn't know about it was because I only write it while HE is playing Call of Duty (It's a shooting game)on his xbox, with his nerdy headset on talking with all his friends.
The next day one of his xbox buddies was over and LOVED Hopscotch and has been thinking of getting a rabbit too. His xbox buddy asked for the link to my blog.
