Thanks for the compliments on my writing, I didn't think it was that good. Happy(?) Friday the 13th. My cat bit my nose and now I have a minor cut. It hurts.

The mother and I are going out of town for three or so days, so the care of animals has to be left to my dad. I'm currently writing a "manual" on rabbit care for him. I'm going to portion outvegetables in plastic bags for him to give to the bunnies each day. I'll also have to educate him about the care of my hamster.

The bunsare good, although Pee-Bun isgoing throughanother humping phase and Thumpsy seems to be moulting. Poor thing. Shelooks so raggedy.




Does anybody play Chicken Smoothie? I know I must sound dorky/childish posting this, but it's a little site with pointless animal adopts, such as the one above. Clicky on the rabbit to go to the site.


 
We left my dad alone for two days inthe house. What could go wrong? Some things, apparently. We have two furnaces; one for the upstairs and one forthe downstairs. The one for upstairs stopped working, so now the whole upper level is 60 degrees and we have little space heaters everywhere. The buns acted starved (don't worry- they got all of their rations) and they had three days worth of poo collected in their litter box. My dad "promised" to scoop the box too. Other than that, things went pretty well.

Buncatraz!

I got a haircut and I'mvery giddy and happy as a result.

Bunny baking tonight! For real! Will post results. :biggrin:

 
No pictures of the baked goods, but you can imagine some green/brown blobs with lots of oats that smell faintly of bananas. I used:

1 Banana

1/4 C Pellet dust

1/4 C Hay dust

A few handfuls of oats

Baked at around 300 for around 30 minutes. None of this is precise since the oven isinaccurate and we kept checking and saying "Maybe five minutes more?" every few minutes.



Now I'm off to clean the hamster's cage. I was feeding her last week when I saw some creepy crawly things in her seed mix. Her pellets seemed fine so I just fed her that, until today when I went to PestMart to buy ahigher quality (and hopefully bug free)brand of seed mix for her.

 
Thanks :biggrin:

Long time no update! I've beenkept busy whipping up essays for school:caffeineand fixing computer related things.

Yesterday I nearly burned the cage in attempt to get it clean. That involved removing cardboard,the large tile, litter box, hay, hay, bits of hay, some more hay, droppings, removing pee stains, sweeping, getting behind the cage (that's another story) and keeping my little "helpers" occupied. To do that, they got a bunny biscuit each and an early dinner thrown in a carrier. Pee-bunny seems to have some issue getting in the carrier when Thumps is already in, but only when my mom isn't in the room.

How about some poorly lit photos? Sure!

These are older photos seen in the moving photos, but I think I'l post a couple of the better ones so you don't have to sit there staring waiting for that one photo to reappear.

Lazy loungers with huge ears.

If I'm feeling inspired I may post somemore writing here, though I'd feel I'd be copying Pembrooke's master, Jj and trying to steal her supreme powers.

As a side note, the Christmas decorations haven't come down yet....

Christmas can last another month....

Awesome pictures, it's always a delight to read your blog!

Iwrote a little song about the consumption of "butt treats" which I shall post later.

Sorry for vanishing off the face of the earth, my teachers seemed to think it is OK to assign huge projects out of the blue.

Have some photos:

Love the pics. Awesome looking bunnies.

Yea, teachers can be a pain when they want you to actually learn something. But it all turns out good in the end. An education is a plus. Don't waste it.

Bunny blogs and pics can wait. Education can't.

Glad to see all is well. Hope the school projects went well too.

K :)
 
Ah yes, the long awaited update.

On Sunday I was rudely awakened with the news that one of my rabbits was enjoying a strollaround all the bedrooms. I cornered her in a room, where she promptly hid under bed. Then I single handedly lured her out with some banana chips and stuffed her in a carrier. About an hour later I had to repeat the process. Sunday night she had a voracious appetite...

Monday morning dawned bright an early. I went to feed the bunnies, but onlyPee-Bunn (or Tiny Loaf, as I have occasionally called her)met me at the prison wall waiting for feed. Alarmed, I found a depressed lookingThumpsy loafing under the cardboard box. I tried to get her to eat, but only managed to get a few bites of celery, a cheerio, a craisin and a couple licks of pumpkin meat in her. Off to school I went, worried as can be. Later, when I arrived home I found my mom waiting for me. I thought the worst had happened. Turns out it hadn't and Thumpsy had actually been to the vet, where she had had her nails trimmed, had some SubQ fluids administered, and been given a clean bill of health. Later that night I made her eat some celery (60% of a stick), a couple drops of pumpkin meat and around one strand of hay. She was still pooping and peeing, thougha bitless.

Unfortunately, she hadn't been miraculously cured over night. This morning I made the Thumpinator have a few bites of celery before heading of to school. Not too long ago, when I arrived home I found a note awaiting me that stated Thumpsy had been temporarilywhisked of to the bunny shelter where she was receiving Critical Care and being treated for gas.

I'm glad she's getting treated and all, but I already miss her, even though she has a "very good outlook",was pooing moreand will probably be backwithin a day or two:biggrin::p.

Meanwhile, I have the usual boatload of pictures.

Thumpsy came back Saturday, but started fighting with Pee-Bunny over the litter box. We separated them. They groom eachother and snuggle, but whenThumpsy hops inPee-Bun's litter box it is bad news. Blah.

State standardized tests in school this week. What fun. After today's testingmy class was playing catch, (sitting on desks, tossing ball made up of paper and tape)and I wasn't paying attention and got hit in the face, on the side of my nose near my eye.My woundstarted bleeding soon afterwards, so I put a band-aid on, which resulted in me getting some funny looks.

The buns are becoming a bit more cuddly because the mother and I have been keeping up with a new regime of bunny handling/carrying. When I trance Thumpsyher legs twitch a lot. Is this to be expected? :confused2:
 
Last week on My bunny is a psycho: Behind the cage! Around the Corner! FREEDOM!!!

Today: The great wall of Bunn! Chronicles of the corner grid!

Two panelsin heightis not enough to contain Thumpsy.A few days back, every few minutes there would be a bunny loose, no matter how many times she was plopped right backinto her cage. We tried stealth observation from behind a dresser and under the door, but she was too good for that type of thing. (To understand this next part you must understand the cage is in a corner, on its base, which allows about four(?) inches of wiggle room. At first she just wiggled out, but then we put up a grid blocking the gap. Problem solved? Temporarily.) A bit later I was standing in the hall, outside the door when I heard a loud clunking noise, which sounded suspiciously like grids banging against the wall. I walked in. What did I see? A Thumpsy, hoisting herself onto the cage roof after using the corner-wall-gap-protector-grid as a ladder. To prevent that from happening, we put a small sheet of plastic to prevent gripping. It worked, but that led her to more methods of escape.



(To be continued...)
 
Story, continued...

Thumpsysoon learned to hop on top of the cage, using the door to hoist herself up. After that she figured out how to climb over the panel fence. I had to put her in 'solitary confinement' until I got more panels.

Ihad to totally reconfigure the layout of everything, making it 100% escape proof.I moved the cage, did a super mega extreme clean and expanded the fence. A before and after picture is needed toshow all the differences.

Before the big switcheroo, while Thumpsy was inside the cage, Pee-Bunny started peeing everywhere. Pee started seeping under the cage, causing me to make faces like these:panic::shame:yuckevery time I went upstairs to clean up. She also refused to poop in her litter box. I realized my mistake after it was too late; the litter box was a different size than she was used too.


The bunnies are still separated. I'm trying toget my mom to get them spayed, but she went out of town before I could fully convince her.

Happy Easter! I made two paper mache eggs, along with a bunch of dyed ones. I'm going to have to post pictures.

I got new hay for the bunnies, which they have been eating at lightning speed. I wonder if it could be fresher, because it certainly smells good.
