OK, time for a proper update.
I have finished my clinicals, so I should have a little more time on my hands to come online and check out the forum (and update)! Will and I are no longer together. It was a difficult break-up, but we are still friends. We have been hanging out a lot. I have been going birdwatching a lot, as well. I have added, like, 15 new bird species to my birdwatching list.
Hooray, extra time!
Anyway, onto the critters.
Toby has been doing well. His poor little fluff-butt just can't get over his molt. it's like he gets most of it out, then a little more comes out, so he has been in semi-permanent "cactus-butt" mode. Other than that, he has been doing well. I have taken him outside a few times. I take his and Sammi's pens outdoors and hook them together. Toby loves the outdoors time, and he noms as much fresh grass as he can. The apartment manager even said that when they spray for weeds in the later Spring, she will have them not spray the area where I put my bunny pen. She is going to tell them to not spray that whole side of the building (it's only about a 20'x8' area) so I can keep taking my critters outside.
Sammi wasn't doing too well this past week. She wasn't eating or drinking, and she wasn't trying to kill me when I went into her cage to tidy up. Normally, she goes all Monty Python's "Creature of Caerbannog" on me, but she just sat there. Also, there was poop all over her cage. They were the little bunny pellets, but that is so not like her, it's scary. She's normally little miss prissy pants about that, so I was worried. So, I've been syringing her water orally and putting lots of wet greens in her bowl. She has been eating better lately, but she's still not 100%.
Regiford has been doing well, too. He likes to go outside, as well. I put him out in the pen with Toby, because they don't seem to care about each other's presence much. Either way, Reggie just stays in the carrier that I put in the pen. I started to take the carrier apart (top and bottom halves) and left the top half of the carrier on the grass so Reggie could stay sheltered, but still have access to the yummy grass.
I have two new zebra finches now, too. They are two female "black-cheeked" zebra finches. One is mostly white with a VERY fluffy tummy, and the other one just looks like a normal zebra finch, minus the red cheeks. They are both females, I am pretty sure. They've been laying eggs up a storm! They have such cute little eggs, though. Since I don't want baby finchies, I removed the freshly-laid eggs from the cage.
The three Hamigos are doing well. Actually, only two of the three Hamigos are still here. Lucky and Dusty decided to try and eat Ned. When I found Ned, his back was one huge scab and he was hiding away from their normal nest. Now, Ned lives with my mum and was promptly spoiled rotten.
Onto the pictures!
Why is it that when I bring out the camera, this is the look I get from BOTH bunnies?
