Daily Routines

[lionheadbunny21]

I get up get my kids together for school/daycare. Get myself somewhat together. Pour coffee (for me rayr God help us all), get my 3 bowls together, get my bunnies and guinea pigs' salads served out, feed them, refill water, refill hay (remove old and add new), replace old pettets and get out the door.

Morning routine.

 

[kirbyultra]

Get up, give buns their pellets, go to the gym for a run, come back, get salads together for buns, shower, then I open the buns' cages for them to run during the day. Kirby needs to finish his food before I open it up otherwise his girlfriend Penny will steal all his food. Then I get myself together to start my day.

coffee, breakfast, open bunnery door so that buns can go into their garden, hair and makeup, schoolrun, dog walk, housework for us, housework for bunnies:biggrin:

I get home from work and they are out of their cage until my husband goes to bed (usually midnight) My bunnies are most active at 11:00 p.m. They have their second serving of salad at 5:00, the same time we all have dinner.

Cleaning is usually done after work as well... or sometimes after kids' bedtime when they are not trying to "help". They binky when their space is nice and clean from poop.

That is a good idea about not opening Kirby's cage, because that happens with Fluffy as well. Great Idea

I actually do it cuz Penny and Kirby are bonded but I separate them for feeding and nighttime because Kirby can't ever get a bite with Penny ravaging his dish. It was Janet 's(myheart) idea!

Separating a bonded pair isn't my ideal situation but Kirby hasn't learned to eat faster and Penny is really a food hogging monster. Plus she has special diet needs and I can't have her eating Kirby's leftover food and gettin herself ill!

One heck of a day! Too cute about the hungry kitties. I want chinchillas. My husband said we have enough now. 2 bunnies and 2 guinea pigs and soon a bearded dragon

I've tried to seperate them for feeding but Fluffy will be so mad about them being sperated that she won't eat I know she's getting some. I'm just hoping it's enough. I'm trying to find a solution. I do seperate them for the night and I take them out during the day and close the cages just so I can moniter how much Fluffy is eating. I'm forever trying new things. They both ate today: Fluffy ate after Happy of course.

Morning: wake up with 5 kittens on my chest and stomach. Cuddle them for about 10 minutes, before I give them water and food. Get outside in the garden, collect some greens for Fluffy. Get her fresh hay and water. Then practice her training a bit. Find something tasty in the fridge for myself to eat. Go to school.

Afternoon: arrive at home again, get attacked by 5 kittens who wants to play with mommy. Take Fluffy out of the cage so she can get her daily exercise by running around the apartment. Get some snacks for Fluffy and me. Then go to the store to get something to cook for dinner.

Evening: make dinner. Feed kittens and Fluffy. Clean cage and litterbox if needed. Take a bath. Clean the rest of the apartment. Cuddle with kittens and rabbit. Search for greens in the garden again. Kick back and relax at the computer for the rest of the evening, before I finally go to bed with the rest of my "family".

Since I'm out of the house at 2:30am, hubby takes care of them in the morning. I have that duty on my days off. The routine for hubby in the morning~

5:00-wake up, entice Sebastian back in the bedroom (he has free roam overnight)and feed him.

Let the girls downstairs for an hour for theirdried treatsand greens. They usually go back upstairs on their own. Make sure they have fresh water and food, get on the floor for some bunny massages, then secure top and bottom landing with baby gates.

6:00am- Baci's turn to come out. Bunny Nascar with him for the first20 minutes, he demands attention as soon as he comes out. Then feed him his greens.

Finally a cup of coffee and check emails.

7:00~leave for work.

I get home at 4:30pm, hubby at 6:30pm so I start the evening routine.

Cut up lettuce, wash, soak, spun and into container.

7:00pm~Baci back in cage with Craisin treats. (He has the Marine mentality, hecan tell time, exactly at 7 if we're late, he runs into the cage and waits for the treats.)

Girls come downstairs for an hour for treats and greens.

8pm-Sebastian comes out for the night. I go to bed and hubby will spend an hour or 2 with him then heads into bed himself.

And somewhere between 5pm and 6pm - I make dinner.

I am so not putting mine up here partly cause I just don't want to know.:shock:

LOL

I'm unemployed, so our routine has changed a bit, but really the only difference is that the bunnies are free roam during the day. When I go back to work, they'll have to stay locked up in their pen until we get home in the evening.

DH feeds the bunnies pellets and salad before he leaves for work around 7:30. I get up at 8:30 and open up their pen so they can run around for the day. We feed them some more pellets and another salad around 10pm when we're getting ready for bed.

We had issues with the bunnies have scuffles early in the morning, so they now sleep in a small pet store cage which keeps my girl from chasing my boy around too much. Now part of their routine is getting them in that cage at night and releasing them from jail in the morning.

 

[lionheadbunny21]

I am unemployed now as of 3 days ago so this is part of my routine now That's why I wanted to know everyone else's. My bunnies have been extremely happy to have me home all day. They've been out all day I don't really have routine as much any more.. just feeding in morning, changing water, fill pellets, clean at night.. RO and fb in between..

 

[Shaded Night Rabbitry]

9 am: unplug the alarm clock in a fit of anger, and go back to sleep.

10 am: get yelled at to wake up.

11:15 am: start rolling around. turn on TV.

11:30 am: vacate the room, and head downstairs. First bunny check of the day. Refill water crocks, and check on the litters. Rehay if need be.

3-4 pm: take the buns out of some outside time. babies go in the pen, adults free roam out together. (siblings and mom, or bred does and a buck. there's different patterns.)

7 pm: Or so. Basically when dinner's ready and on the table, I go out to feed the buns. They eat before I do. Everyone gets fed, and water crocks get refilled.

9 pm: Bring the babies and juniors inside for posing practice. Check the moms for milk production. Update photos if need be.

1 am: last check of the night. refill all water bottles if less than 1/4 full. Sit outside for 30 minutes playing with the babies, avoiding going to bed. XD

3 am: fall asleep and repeat.
