The Journey with Callaway

I´m not very good on breeds but he/she certainly is cute. Good of you to take him in even if it´s only temporarily. He´s quite small or looks it in the pic so maybe a dwarf breed.

With you to care and love him, I´m sure Callaway will get through his seizures. He seems quite normal apart from that.

Mine love craisins as well, they go crazy when they hear the bag but I limit them to one a day, they would eat the whole bag if they could lol.

Have a look here, they got some good recipes for bunny treats as well

Going to try to take some better pictures with coloring to try to find help determining his breed. But my fiancé sent me this today! Think he's getting comfortable?

Here are some pictures of the buns coloring. Size wise you can see he is quite big compared to the box he has. So any input on breed would be appreciated. New Zealand? He is starting to look excited when we come out into the porch. He will stand on his hind feet and stretch for a nose rub. He is also allowing me to pet his entire body. It's so weird to pet a short haired rabbit because callaway is a longer haired bun. Haha! I still have not figured out the sex of the bun. When he stands I'm not seeing anything. Callaway is noticeably a male so not sure if all makes are as obvious. I will prob have to work on picking the bun up to see. If there is a chance the bun is male and neutered, is there any way is be able to know this? I'd hate to assume it is a boy, bring it inside, and end up having baby bunnies show up. Lol.

We haven't named him because we don't want to create an attachment so we've been calling him The Bun. However, I believe hubby is getting attached (silent happy dance). He has also made references to keeping him till we move back to Maryland next year and has also mentioned bringing him inside. What a big softie! I think in going to get some fleece fabric to put in the cage since it is starting to get cool at night here.

Well, Bunny is leaving us tomorrow. Bittersweet. The people who are adopting her are driving 90 minutes to pick her up so they've got to be serious about being bunny parents which makes me feel a little better. I typed up a care sheet with just about all the basic need to knows as well as information for RO. So fingers crossed I'm happy for her.

The things on her neck were ticks. Hubby was able to pull all of them off except one because it wasn't engorged and couldn't get a good grip. We're recommending the vet remove it. One of them was dead when we pulled it off so no telling how long it's been there.

We did bring her inside twice so I could clean her cage (hubby wanted to). Callaway went into a frenzy. He was so excited and kept trying to see her. It was quite funny to watch. The second time we kept him in his cage so there was no frisky business. He was doing circles. She laid right next to his cage and he sat next to her. Now every time we walk to the door to go outside, he is right at our heels. I feel bad for the guy. He's been honking and whining. But he will get over it. I really wish we could get a friend for him. I think it's be good. Timing just isn't right with our relocation, rental, the wedding, and what not. One day

Today I was trimming Callys nails. I got the quick on one of them First time. I felt absolutely awful. He wasn't bleeding alot. Just like when we get a scrap. But he was chattering his little teeth away. Broke my heart but he didn't flick his feet or give us the bunny butt so I think he knew it was an oopsy and I felt bad.

Ill let you guys know how Bunny's departure goes

She's at her new home! The gentleman was extremely nice. They're an elderly couple who own several dogs and they have a daughter/granddaughter who own rabbits and apparently they convinced them to get a bun. They bought a nice hutch for her. So I think she will be happy . I feel good about her going with them.

Great news! Always nice to see a deserving bunny go to a good home. Awesome of you to take care of her and make that a reality!

Glad things went well with meeting her new family! Sounds like they really wanted her & hopefully with their daughter/granddaughter's help will give her a wonderful, bunny educated, loving home! Hope everything works out for her & her new family will keep in touch with you to let you know how she's doing &/or join here for updates.

Great news that she´s gone to a new home. I really hope that she will find happiness there and lots of love. You deserve all the credit for making this happen so be proud of what you´ve achieved.

It's been awhile . I've seen two seizures since the last post so hopefully something is "correcting" itself and they fade out completely.

I haven't really got any updates. He is still quite the little stinker. He has sort of gotten back on track with his litter habits. I think the cause of his loss of litter habits was the fact a baby opossum had decided to crawl into our heating system and died. So he smelled this super strange animal and probably startled him. Once my landlord got rid of the animal and the smell disappeared, he regained his skills with the exception of leaving many territorial droppings periodically. I've been picking them up immediately and putting then in his litter box which makes him leave more. Little butthead!!

We put up out Christmas tree which he apparently believed was a treat of never ending greens. I trimmed the branches up so he had to work harder to get to it. As far as I can tell, he hasn't been eating it since. He is a lazy bun so apparently if he has to work, it's a no no.


I think that's a great picture! Christmas card anyone?

Hubby got an end date of Feb. so we would've been able to move home at the end but then we got bad news. It was again extended to May. We're getting married in May. Hopefully they'll let him off the project in April do we're not hustling around trying to move back and prep for the wedding. I'm so ready to move back to Maryland/Pennsylvania it's not even funny!

Fingers crossed
