She's doing ok, she's stopped looking for them. I am going to remove the nest tonight when I clean her cage. She would have made a good mom.

Poor Velvet. So sorry for your loss.

 

[Wabbitdad12]

Velvet says thank you also.

 

[Luvr of Wabbits and Polar Bears]

Thats to sad that the babies didn't survive.

Hello wabbitdad, you poor thing with the dental thing, i had a tooth abcess when my third little boy was just 6 weeks old and it spread down my jaw so i couldnt open my mouth. Antibiotics wouldnt touch it and i had to go to hospital for an emergency operation to remove the tooth as the spreading was very dangerous. They put me out thank goodness but they had to thread tubes down my nose just before they put me under. I was terrified was so horrible, but when i woke up also felt grate, general aneatheic is wonderfull too lol...
My poor husband had to look after three kids, the 6 week old still needing night time feeds too.
Teeth are just so painfull for us and our pets hey.

When my cookie and when Licorice were pregnant years ago now, they only really built the nest a couple of days before the birth, but when my bunny toffee again years ago had false pregnancies she used to take all my soft toys and stuff them under the sofa cover, was soooo cute i really didnt want to move them. I supose if nothing happens within a week it must be a false pregnancy.

Oh and Bassetluv, your bunny pics in your avatar are soooo gorgeous, those big ears are lovely. What breeds are they??? And are there more pics i can see somewhere??

First the post op dental check went great! I am now able to eat french fries, thick crinkle kind, WHOO HO! No more mashed taters!

Now an update on the bunny's. Velvet is doing good. She is back to her grunting at me when I open her cage.

Pudge is driving me nuts with the "lets dig at everything in my cage at 4:30am!

I finally put up the bunny playpen outside this weekend.

Titan and Thumper enjoyed it.Thumper like his movie name sake ate all the clover flowers and left the green parts behind.

Carmel loved it today,

took him out, took a book with me to read, but instead spent my time watching him. Binkies of all kinds, he binkied and bounced off the chain link fence. He did speed binkies, twisty binkies combinations, he had a good time. So did I just watching him explore, binky, run back to the pet carrier, run out binky some more, come to me for some pets chin by foot and do it all over again.

I just have to find something more comfortable to sit on then the grass...

 

[peppa and georgie]

Arrr Caramel looks really cute, we had a bunny called lucy who looked just like that and also a bunny called caramel xx Sounds like you had lots of fun, they love exploring dont they x

 

[Wabbitdad12]

I took Pudge outside to the bunny run after I got home from work today. I thought she would explore and run around like Carmel did. Instead she looked around a little and listened to the birds chirp.

Then when she did start to explore more, I had to scoop her up, put her in the pet carrier and make a mad dash forthe house. We got to the overhang just in time, a sudden rainstorm dumped buckets just as we got to the house.

There's always tomorrow.

 

[peppa and georgie]

Arrr bless that is just typical isnt it.
Mine have the run of the living room when there cage is open and i leave the door open sometimes as they are desperate to explore the rest of the house, peppa goes thundering upstairs and if i go to get her she runs faster and stamps her feet lolxx
They do come back if i call them though, only because they know i have treats though lol xx

 

[Wabbitdad12]

Well today was an interesting day. It all started with wabbitmom's stupid cat getting the door to garage open. If you don't latch it right it will close, but a determined cat can get it open. After he got the door open, someone had left the overhead light on in the garage which lit up the living room where I fell asleep. He did this twice at about half hour intervals.

Once I got him back in the second time, I had laid back down on the couch only to be awaken a few minutes later by a call from work telling me the network was down. So off I go, I got the call at 4am and was in work by 450. After a morning of chaos of network problems, I got to pick up the mail because the person who normally does it had something personal come up and the backup person was out so I had to drive back downtown and back to the plant.

I had about 4 hours of sleep and managed to get through the day on only 2 cans of Mountain Dew. Before I left work I decided that I was going to get a couple of the buns and go out to the bun run and just relax. It became windy and a little cool, but it was relaxing and Blueberry and Nibbles had a good time. I got thumped at several times by Nibbles and a couple of times by Blueberry when I went to gather them up to go inside.

Just like people as you all know bunny's have their little peculiar behaviors. Rudy, a fluffy french lop, is very well litter trained and I leave his cage open in the evenings. Every evening before I turn of the lights to the bunny room, I give their treat. One night it might be craisens, banana chips or pineapple. Tonight it was banana chips, Rudys favorite. Sometimes he will paw through his cage wires even though his door is open. Smooshes his cute little face as if this is the only food he has seen all day.

Well tonight I was handing out the treats and being that I sometimes forget why I came into a room or get distracted and forget what I was about to do, I go around the room in a certain order. Tonight that wasn't good enough for Rudy, he came hopping out to get his banana chip before the other three ahead of him. Now some of my buns if they are out at treat time will eat the treat right where they are when I give it to them. Rudy is not like that at all, he came up to me, let me know he was there, I gave him his banana chip and he promptly turned around, hopped back to his cage and then ate it.

Then came back out and acted like I forgot him when I went to his brothes on the other side of him. I got a telescoped french lop looking at me with a face that said "excuse me I think you forgot me!" I told him no you got yours and he sits down and hops back into his cage.

I try to remember the important lessons by bunny's display to me everyday. They are happy they have food and water, someone cares for them and they have a place to call their own, they have toys that the have a lot of fun with toysthat don't cost a small fortune. I have food on my plate, water and milk to drink (some Mountain Dew too), a warm house in the winter and a cool house in the summer. I have someone who cares for me, I have close on my back, shoes on my feet.

Some times I get focused on what I want or need and not how blessed I am with the things I have.

Smile a lot it will drive people bonkers wondering what your up to. Well I need to go to bed. My typing is no longer making coherent sense so I will stop.

Good night all or good morning.

 

[peppa and georgie]

Arrr whenever i give georgie treats or a carrot she always nicks off with it like to make sure no one takes it off her. She is quite stroppy with food actually, my 8 month baby boy was eating and so had it all over his hands and she actually went over to him for the crumbs and either scratched at him or bit him fingers for it as he was bleeding bless him. Wasnt really her fault as she doesnt know but i have learnt to leave messy babies away from the buns lol xx
This morning and yesterday morn peppa came out ran round and then randomly chose a spot to pee, i was cross and picked her up and put her away and ignored her both times, is this the right way to handle it do you think???
Your bunnies sound lovely, i love hearing about all their different personalities. They do have funny habbits dont they, do you think they are thumping to tell you they dont want to go back in yet?? Hope your day calmer today xx

 

[Wabbitdad12]

The thumpin was to express their intense desire to stay outside for a while longer and they were not pleased about having to go in.

My buns will stop doing something when I say there name sternly and say no or stop that. Then they know they better move onto something else.

 

[tonyshuman]

Aww. Rudy is such a great bunny. I know what you mean about the lessons bunnies teach us. Sorry your day was so difficult!

 

[LuvaBun]

Sounds like you had quite the (early) morning!

Jester has to find just the 'right' spot to eat his favourite treats. Shadow could care less - hey, it's food who cares where it gets eaten, right?
