How are the kids, K?
Aww, thanks! :hug:Aww, sorry about Leonardo DaFinchi. I liked his name a lot... But I'm glad you'll get a new friend for Ish Kabibble. He would be lonely otherwise.
Last year at Wal*Mart, I bought two mini-desk fans for the bunnies. They were about $5, and they have a little metal stand that hooks over the side of the NIC pen that the bunnies live in. So, the fan hangs inside the pen (up near the top, though) so it's not hanging out and in the way. The bunnies can't reach it, either. I put the granite tiles where the air flow hits, so the bunnies can lounge on the tile or the carpet in the breeze. The bunnies normally choose the carpeting, though.I have been thinking of setting a Blizzard fan on oscillating, with a timer... I don't know know though. Doesn't seem enough The living room is always hotter than the rabbit room.
^ have no clue how the shelter can name them (guess that isn't so hard), or tell them apart. Eeeeeeek. They pretty much look the same. :lookaroundSo sorry about Leo.
On another note, the female Robos have started showing up on the website:

I had to LOL at this!^ have no clue how the shelter can name them (guess that isn't so hard), or tell them apart. Eeeeeeek. They pretty much look the same. :lookaround
It definitely sounds better than "Hamster #201", or something like that. Maybe they started employing the "poke them with a marker" tactic. I remember that my mum did that when our family dog had puppies (West Highland White Terriers + nontoxic markers made for easy puppy ID). lolTreasuredFriend wrote:I had to LOL at this!^ have no clue how the shelter can name them (guess that isn't so hard), or tell them apart.

Well, I go birding every week (at least once!), so I figured that I should try something new. Plus, I always wanted to work with the wild critters. I have pictures of everything that we captured and banded, but I uploaded them onto Facebook and was too lazy to put them on here.How did you get roped into bird-banding, miss K?
How is Karla doing? She's such a little fighter! Same for Tamm, too! I hope they get some extra ear scritchies coming their way!Sidenote, everybun here is doing good. We stay busy. all send a wave or nose nudge ~
I have one quick video on Facebook with Toby doing a mini-bink. I haven't been letting him out as much as I should (bad bunny mummy). I will have to try this coming week. Will is going to be out of town starting next Thursday (we're back together, by the way). I should have lots of free time to let the McBundersons out.Hope you get time for videos of Toby and Sammi. &
Smart to do. I learned of a house fire and bunnies perished in the smoke from the blaze. Therefore, I do not leave on oscillating fans or electrical items when I need to be away. Just in case. A radio as background music with well-protected wires from teeth who may choose to chew, is OK.Never knew window air conditioner has a built in timer. Great idea! I thought about getting one or afloor fan just for the girls' room, but I'm always afraid of having anything on when I'm not home.
^ will be watching for updates on FB. Be careful how many bun-humans get attracted to miss ?sassy pants? on the photo.TreasuredFriend wrote:Well, I go birding every week (at least once!), so I figured that I should try something new.

-- Birding Every Week? The finches taught you that, and so? K, how awesome to spread your wings, and band, and help out the wild ones, too. Likewise, am sorry to hear when your finch babies pass away...
-- Oh Boy, you'll have a new FB lurker or fan. Not to use the "L" word, it's just called being busy. :wink: Look at the awesome ears photo for KH on Facebook. How did Toby EVER allow that??

-- Ears scritches were doled out! Karla's on the recovery from chronic blocked tear duct, R-eye, eye that she usually rests on for sleeping. Multiple duct flushes (possible scar adhesion build-up?), Ciproflaxin drops, and antibiotic just in case for infection. Eye specialist did culture and no noticeable bacteria was present at the time of the culture. Eye specialist DVM consulted with Karla's regular DVM. KRS (Kathy Smith, whom I learn from all the time!) mentioned that with chronic blocked ducts it sometimes bothers us humans more than the buns. Karla seems not to mind the milky weepage, yet I'm there with a Q-tip to swab the stuff away.
This is medical talk that I thought you might find intriguing. Tamm doin' okay, too.
-- How you doin' with taking blood from arms?
-- When things slow down over here, you'll have to visit in the fall again with Will, if you can. Big Hugs for working things out with your tall handsome guy. Living with another person isn't easy, at times. -- !!!!!
-- You two were such a picture-perfect bonded PAIR in the baseball game photo.
