I did...well at least I gave Vega one! Winston seems super shy, while Vega is so inquistive! She was out as soon as I opened the crate...it took Winston 3 hours to come out. They have a nice setup with Drizzle's old cage (which is huge when they're both it in...and one that opens from the front as well as the side, which is good to get Winston out), a playpen/run with their toys, litter box and food setup. I'll take a pic tomorrow. It took me a few hours to get everything together (wash everything out, etc.). And I was keeping a close eye on them because they had very mushy poops (which I figured with the stress they would), but they look MUCH better (round and not so mushy). They have tons of hay, water, and a few pellets to munch on (I put more hay out though to try to get their digestive systems on track).
Other than that, I think Vega really likes her Auntie Lauren (that is what I'm calling myself...LOL!). She headbutts me for nose rubs!
Drizzle and Latte are...confused. I put a blanket over the side of Vega and Winston's run, but Latte can still see them, and he seems entranced by Vega. I said "Sorry Latte, she's taken!" But, now we're back to marking everything with their chins and poops again :headsmack:sweepmy bunnies are not the brightest crayons in the box...but I love them anyways! Drizzle actually got out as I was cleaning his cage, and he sat by the doorway a few feet from the cage and just watched. He didn't even approach. Vega and Winston were just laying there and didn't seem to care!
Anyways, everybunny is all set for bed with food and water. Since Vega's poops were better, I gave her a little bit of parsley. Winston still seems a bit nevous, but I've been offering him hay and water. I've only seen him drink a little bit. Should I syringe him some before I go to bed? Or do you think he'll just drink later (since he did a little earlier)? Vega is all good.
Photos tomorrow when my camera is not dead! ARRGH!

Hey Lauren! I think Winston will come around and drink water on his own. I don't think syringing him is necessary. He is pretty skittish and HATES to be handled anyway, so I think that wouldn't be good for him, just my opinion though since they were here
.
Good luck, I think they'll be better tomorrow, especially Winston. It's funny, he was the first to come out into the NIC here, and I thought it would be Vega:?.

Just wondering how are the babies today? Is Winston behaving? What's my new little daughter doing? Has she come out to explore? I'm curious do either of them give kisses?
Thanks

Sorry guys! I went to a baseball game last night, and before I could update, the power went out because of bad storms...and my kitchen skylight decided to leak and flood my kitchen floor. Good times. :?
The buns are doing well. Winston is more social today. He's still shy but he doesn't seem to care if I'm around.He's definitely a jumper! I put a barrier on top of the run so he won't jump out!
Vega is a sweetheart and she's been out since day 1. She actually was the first to come out and explore.She thumped for me to pet her this morning. I sat in the run with them last night and she was sleeping in my lap. So cute. I felt bad to move, but I had to get into my own bed!
Vega gave kisses once on my hand, but Winston is still tooskittish to come up to me. I don't approach him though...I usually just sit around and stay still, then he comes out and explores.
Drizzle doesn't seem to care, but Latte is losing his mind! He's VERY curious and everytime I open the cage, he runs out to see what the 'intruders' are doing. This morning, Latte ran to see them (and they don't seem to care) and then jumped in my lap and buried his head in my sweater, and proceeded to kiss my hand! I felt so bad! He made me feel like I was abandoning him! LOL...so I snuggled with him a lot before work.
Pics will be up tonight! And I'll give them pets from all of you! (That's a LOT of pets!)
UPDATE! Ok, I left work early today to get to the bunnies. We had some REALLY bad weather in the Chicagoland area. The tornado sirens went off at work and we had to take shelter. As soon as the sirens were off, I left and headed straight home. The buns are fine...I had some shingles blown off the roof from a tornado not far from here, but everybun is fine! I was so scared though, as I got close to my house, a few houses over, there were power line poles on their side on the ground! The police were diverting everyoneother ways.I started to cry and decided torace home onside streets, and luckily, my neighborhood is ok.
I wasSOSCARED...and I've been through HURRICANESin FL! I just felt extra tension because I'm bunny sitting and would hate to have to tell anyone bad news!

UPDATE! Just took a break from being in the bathroom with the buns. Yes, we're all there. My hubby, Drizzle, Latte, Winston and Vega, and I. Buns are in cages. We heard sirens and there was a HUGE gust of wind (I'm sure my shingles are even more damaged than they were when I got home). So, I ran upstairs, got Vega and Winston in a cage; put them downstairs and covered with a blanket; grabbed Latte and put him a carrier; grabbed Drizzle under my arm, and headed to the bathroom. Phew! If anyone is in the path of these storms heading east, SEEK SHELTER! It's caused many tornados! Just an update that we're all safe, sound, and snuggly.
If anyone wants to keep track of the weather here on weather.com, we're in Frankfort, IL!
Thanks all! BE SAFE!

Oh My Goodness that must be really scarey. God I get afraid of thunder storms, not quite as bad as when I was a kid but still don't like them.
Thank you for doing so much for my babies.
Be safe and thank your hubby too.
Give all the babies a kiss and a rubby from me.

Thank God you are all okay. The weather has been a little nuts, especially north where you are. It is now as well. Stay safe!
Glad to hear all is well. I just want to post another weather link that I use all the time. I bring the radar up and on the left, there is something called base reflectivity loop, this will put the radar in motion and you can see which direction the storm is headed, very, very helpful. Let's see if this link will work. It's the NOAA website. You can also get to it that way. Then just type in your zip,US only.

Oh, Susan, I thought you would want to know Winston's date of birth:
June 20th, 2006
When I took him in from the original owner, I asked and wrote it down.
What is really funny is that Penny's birthday is one day before his (and they were originally owned by the same person).

Thanks Laura, I'll have to write that date on the calender, I have too many bunnies now I can't remember all their Birthdays. LOL
I forget what was the reason the original owner had to give them away.

The original owners were a young couple. The husband was laid off and decided to go back to college, so they had to move in with the wife's parents. They were allergic and wouldn't allow them to keep the bunnies.
They contacted our only local rabbit rescue (who was full), so they directed them to me (I check with them from time to time and they remembered me).
I'mSO glad they did. Penny is such an incredible girl. I love her so much. She has such personality. And Winston is a sweet and beautiful little boy and I know you are going to love him dearly.
I never met Vega, but she sounds perfect, too. This is truly a happy ending for all these buns.

It looks like Mr. Tumnus waited to long to get a divorce from Lucy. Daisy Mae has moved on with her life She and Winston will be beautiful together....but will Vega still be with Winston too :?
These two have made quite a journey in life so far! It amazes me how resilient buns...well, all animals really...can be.

Of course Vega will be with Winston, I'm hoping for a trio, everyone say prayers that they all get along.
What would be even better is to have Wilbur & Jackie join in and have 5 together. Yeah right I don't think so. I'd be too afraid to break the bond Jackie & Wilbur have as they are so in LOVE with each other.
Myself and my Hubby were hoping that Haley would bring Mr Tumnus along for the ride and then we could have the Wedding Ceremony between him and Daisy Mae. LOL.
