LOL. Love the way she's resting her leg on the litter tray. I suppose a girl's gotta get comfortable!

I started reading your blog from teh begining. Oh My I love her. DH took a look at your instructions and he will (at some point) make our buns the mansion. (He's kinda got a long honey do list right now though. Anyway. Thanks the mansion is awesome.



I bet you were terrified when you saw her limping. I would have gotten a big lump in my throat.

Thanks and good luck building the cage! It sounds so much more complicated than it really is. It's really so much more cost-effective AND practical to make your own cage. The pet store cages are RIP OFFS! Trixie's "small" started cage was the largest in the pet store and was over $100! :shock:I made her 3 level condo for around that much.

Update on Trixie's knee:

Itook Trixie back to the vet for a follow-up visit about a week and a half ago. The vet said her knee has healed, but is a little thicker than her other knee. It doesn't seem to be hindering her in any way at this time. When it's time for her to be spayed, the vet said she will take another x-ray of her knee to be 100% sure all is well. She said that when she gets older, her knee may cause some slight pain, but then she can be started on glucosamine condroitin at that time. So no major worries. It could have been a lot worse. Her spay is tentatively scheduled for the first week in September....

Latest news: Trixie's binky blankie has been "retired." Since we have hardwood floors in the guest bedroom..ahem...bunny bedroom, the blanket we put down for her to binky on just slides all over the place. Hubby and I were in Bed,Bath and Beyond and we saw large area rugs on sale for $30! So we bought a 5ft x 7ft rugwith virtually no depth to it. Hubby said it's called "berber" carpet. Trix LOVES it and is currently doing bunny 500's on it as I type this!

Good to hear about the knee.

My buns love to get on the carpeted areas of the house too. Way better traction.

Well, I have been pretty bad about updating Trixie's blog, so here goes the latest updates:

Trixie is eating like a FIEND! I have to refill her hay rack twice a day! She loves when I take out her hay bag cause she likes to burrow her head into it and pull out her favorite pieces of it! As soon as I sit on the floor and take out the hay bag, I have a rabbit in my lap!

Trixie has also become the resident SLOB of the household! She went from being more anal than my husband to being a typical litter-flinging, hair pulling, toy re-arranging teenage bunny! SO...I bought her a new litter box. It's GREAT! The back slopes up higher than the front and she can fit completely in it. Now I put extra hay in the front ond of her litter box as well as in the hay rack that hangs right over it....PROBLEM SOLVED!

I have been giving Trix about 1/2 oz to 1 oz of veggies every day, just to get her used to it and to see what her likes and dislikes are. So far, she likes: Romaine, red leaf lettuce, carrot tops, loves Kale, took a couple nibbles of carrot...and ADORES bananas.
She doesn't like: grapes, watermelon, blueberries, or Bok Choy. Actually, the Bok Choy made her produce excess cecals, so I stopped after the first try.

I think I have to start expanding her diet, so I will have to see what I can come up with in the near future.

NEXT MONTH: SPAYING TIME. my poor little smooshie face! :shock:

:shock:Wow, I can't believe how big Trixie has gotten from your initial pictures. She's grown so fast - how old is she now?

She is a sweetie. Her cage is fantastic!

Hi Nadia, and thanks! She is a sweetie! The absolute biggest MUSH in the world, except for when she's being a BRAT. LOL!
She is now about 6 months old! Can you believe it? Time sure does fly! She's got such a big, beautiful dewlap now- tres elegante, no?
Pretty soon it will be time for her spay...in the meantime, she contines to literally chew the walls and run circles around me....
