Thanks! Really excited to get the garden part started. The bunnies really love their run.

Thanks for the compliment. Neville does have such an expressive face. He's such a sweetie. I'm just in awe of how different he is. And his coloring is just turning out stunning. Yes I'm gushing. lol He's my "Heart" bunny.

Glad you're back. Hope all is well with you and yours. Can't wait to hear how Cookie is doing.

He just loves those tubes. He's never gone through the tubes, but he loves to jump over them, on them and walk on them. I love it. Hey you never know. I'm thrilled he's enjoying it. And it's really good exercise. Can't wait until the Better Half gets the ramp installed for them to go into the old rabbit hutch. Hopefully will have better pics in the future.

Was already there and read. Wishing Mr. C looses that nickname quickly but safely. Just don't understand people. Yes I can, lazy with good intentions. But look who suffers.

Will be checking his blog to read about success progress of Mr. Cookie losing that nickname.

Update on ZRabbits:

Working on the Bunny Run/Garden. Still work in progress. Decided to make a few changes.

Started getting the garden part ready for our plants.

Finished Garden, next step, planting!

This is our spot in the garden for our strawberries. Plants are doing well, had strawberries coming out, but those DANG squirrels.

And here's the Bunny Watcher making sure it's all done right. So glad he's feeling better.

Thought I'd share the progress! Now back to work. Got to get those plants in so they can start growing good stuff for all of us!

Update on ZRabbits:

It was a beautiful morning here in New Jersey, and we and the Z-Tribe took advantage of it.

As promised, my Better Half took aerial shots of the garden/bunny run. We also set up our enclosure and moved the old bunny hutch. Plans are still being made for the ramp. Also plans are made to look into growing wild flowers and start growing a little basil, cilantro, dandelions in the bunny run, as we have with the clover and wheat grass. Still a work in progress but, our backyard sanctuary for the Z-Tribe is off to a good start.

Here' what we have started in our garden.

Cilantro

On of our 8 tomato plants (4 Big Boys/4 Cherries)

Parsley

Basil

Egg Plant. My Better Half is trying to bring it back to life after what the evil squirrels did to it.

Cucumber

Also we have two rows of baby carrots planted.

The clover and wheat grass in the bunny run. Kreacher loves to stop by for a snack.

The bunny run is becoming a huge success. They all really love it. It takes a bit for them to get used to all the sights, smells and sounds. But they do eventually start to do their thing.

Luna in the bird house, turned into a bunny house

She loves running in and out of it.

And always tries to get on top of it, like she does her hay hut in her crate. She hasn't been successful yet.

Neville loves to run at full tilt the length of the run

Unfortunately today he was only hanging over the tubes in this pic, not jumping over them. But enjoyed running around today. Ran too fast a couple times, tried to make a corner and hit the wire fence. Not hurt, just bounced off. That wool is good for some things.

Found something new in the bunny run. It was there the last time, but he was really into jumping over the tubes.

But he did notice we moved the old bunny hutch.

As our bunnies are all learning new sounds, smells and sights, Neville heard for the first time the ac condensing unit come on, and he decided to hide. Well, he thought he was.

I can't believe how well the grass grew in the bunny run. Here's Dobby enjoying the fresh, cool grass.

And another of his sweet face. Can't help myself

And here's the pic of the Z-Tribe Chief with his look of "Mom, enough with the pics."

Really proud of what we have accomplished, excited to continue this "work in progress". All for the Z-Tribe. Who are Awesome.

BTW, Susan, I hope this satisfies your request for more pics.

Wow. I'm thoroughly impressed. Your rabbits have the LIFE! im amazed at the time and effort you have put into your garden and run for the buns.

Also, I only have really, really looked at pics of your Lions....but omg, Dobby is amazing too!! His coloring is fantastic.

Ive enjoyed reading about you and your buns. Thanks for sharing all that you do

Thanks so much. Glad that you enjoyed my tales of the Z-Tribe. They are truly worth it. It really was such a pleasure sitting out there today. I think I have to say we enjoy it more than the buns, who do love it. I like the fact that they get fresh air and sunshine they need. Along with needed exercise. And I like the fact that I can also grow the food that will keep them healthy and happy. Some think we are crazy for going all out like this, but I have to say, I haven't felt that content and happy myself in a long time. I could have done a binky myself.

Hope you continue following. Truly appreciate your kind words. June 4th will be the one year anniversary of our venture into the Bunny World. Dobby and Kreacher came home for the first time. It's been a learning experience since that exciting day, and with 3 more added additions, the best therapy that money can buy. Thanks Z-Tribe!

Wow! What an awesome run and garden! I wish my yard looked as nice as the bunny run hehe lol

And wow! Cookie has that same lighter brown tuft of hair in between his ears! So so cute! I always play with that tuft when I pet him it's crazy how much they look a like... Long lost cousins! For sure!

 

[Samara]

I laughed out loud HARD when I read the part about the AC condenser coming on and Neville hiding, then scrolled down to the picture.

Everything looks amazing!

Thanks Liz for the compliment on the run and garden. I wish our whole lawn looked like the bunny run too. It is soft and so green. I'm just amazed how fast it came up and how well its grown.

lol, I play with the same tuft of hair when I'm petting Dobby. I truly believe they have to be long lost cousins too. They just look so much a like. Same cute tuft of hair and all.

Wow the grass came in really nice . Hmmm your cilantro is looking better than mine haha. Ooooh I'm sure I've said this before but handsome Dobby!

How do you bring them out into the bunny run? In pairs? Or do they each get their own time in it? I know Luna would, just wondering about the boys.

Right now the boys are coming out individually like Luna is. But Better Half is building a removable partition so that we can start introducing the boys to each other. Right now the bunny run is new to them, so the more we take them out the faster they are relaxing in the new environment. Once that time span to relax is shortened, we will start with the partition. If it doesn't work, we don't mind bringing them out separately. Maybe work on some agility training with my buns. They love the tubes to jump over then going in.

Hopefully it works out for them Have they gotten into the bunny garden yet?

No, not yet, but I have a feeling one of them is going to jump over that lower fence into the garden. They all look over the fence. But they can't far. The garden is completely fenced in with no outlets at all.
