Jenny, that is an adorable bunny! Oh my goodness. He is so pretty, I really love his markings. And you know you can always post pictures or anything about your rabbits on my blog. You know I love to hear about your buns! He looks so puffy! What is he, is he a hotot?
Chris, your boys are so funny! I can totally see Bandy eating all of Snowy's food then running off to eat his own. Thats hilarious.
Ellie didn't eat all her pellets at once, which I was glad to see. It took her almost the whole day to eat all of them. It was half of a 1/4 of a cup. So hopefully I don't have to worry about her eating them all at once. lol But I think when she eats veggies she's going to go nuts! haha.
I've got all kinds of boxes and toilet paper and paper towel rolls right now, so I'm going to build her some kind of castle. hahaaha. I'll post pictures of it when I'm done, I'll probably start tomorrow. But I want to make something that she's be able to climb on. I've been saving toilet paper/paper towel rolls for months. So there are like 40 of each of them. Thats a lot. Since she likes to jump on top of her box house, I'll make her something she can play on when she's out of her cage. I'll hopefully make it big enough that when she's older she'll be able to play in it still. If it lasts that long, since I don't know if she's a chewer yet.
I really like that she likes her rice warmer. She knows what I'm doing when I reach in there to grab it and warm it up. My house stays pretty chilly most of the time, especially the kitchen. Her cage is covered and everything, but because my house is old there is always a draft from somewhere. So she has her elephant and some rice warmer in the box. I put it back into her box and she hops on to it and sits there for a few minutes. haha. I'm not sure how long it stays warm because its so small, but its probably like an hour or so. My big one stays warm for hours, if I put it in the microwave for like 2 minutes. I only put hers in for 25 seconds. Even though, its triple layered I still don't want her to get too warm.
I'm almost done wrapping our Christmas presents, then I'm going to get her out so she can sit on the couch with me. I hope her Sherwood pellets get here tomorrow.
Oh, speaking of pellets again, she feels a little more plump today. Which makes me feel much better. I gave her more pellets today and some extra hay. I gave her her handful of alfalfa and she hasn't eaten all of it, but that's okay.
I've noticed that she is a little picky about water. She has a large soup cup in her cage, its heavy enough that she couldn't move it if she wanted to. Its next to her hay box and under her water bottle(it leaks), but she drinks most of the time when she is in her hay box, so she leans over the side of the box and knocks a bunch of hay into it. She doesn't like to drink the water if there is too much hay in it. So I have to constantly take the hay out and refill the water bowl. Its so strange for me since Foo never drank from a bowl, but Ellie definitely prefers the bowl. She drinks a lot of water though, which is good!
No pictures today, I've been busy with different things and then last minute Christmas shopping. There will be pictures tomorrow though, I'll try to get some with her on top of her box house.
Oh and I have to tell y'all about my son real quick. He learned what "eat" means. He was sitting in the floor today with a garbage truck, he was putting things in the back of the truck and saying "eat", then he would put something else into the truck and say "eat" again. So I looked at him and said, "are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" He said yes. So I made him his lunch and as he was eating his sandwich, he kept saying "eat". It was SO funny! He's 18 months, he's got quite a few words completely down, his doctor said his vocabulary is pretty good for his age. But today was the first time he really put "eat" together with what it really means! I was totally amazed! Then he asked me for juice. I asked him if he wanted milk and he said juice. hahaha. Kids are great!
