Hey there. I just posted in the bridge forum that my Cali left me on Wednesday. I love her and I miss her. She was a good bunny.
I hope you all don't think I'm a bad mommy, but I went to the shelter (actually three of them) and adopted another bunny. I believe my higher power led me to him. I felt so bad that Cali left me and I thought that since I have a lot of love to give, a needy bunny should have that.
I did some research online and looked at some of the bunnies up for adoption. Then I went to the Fairfield shelter, they had a couple bunnies, but no one fell in love with me. Then I went to the Napa shelter. I wanted to look at Molly, a bunny who had been there since June of '07. I so wanted to give her a home, but she was not friendly at all. She seemed almost wild. Didn't connect with any of the other bunnies there. Then I went to the Rohnert Park shelter. They had posted lots of bunny pics, including three lops, which was kind of what I wanted. Two were on hold... good for them. The last one, Snickers (now Gizmo) just stole my heart. When I held him I knew we were right for each other. I agreed to adopt him and I'm glad I did because when I was filling out the paperwork and asking questions, I learned he had been transfered from another shelter. Meaning he'd been up for adoptin for a while and no one seened to want him.
The shelter employees were so happy for him because he's been waiting a while, so I think that's why I was led to him. He needed me and I needed him. He's very friendly, very soft, chubby and docile. He's about 5 1/2 pounds and he had good health according to the shelter vet.
Maybe someone can comment on this for me, but I want to put something in the bottom of his cage to avoid him standing on the grate all the time. I am afraid to use carpet now, I have a new piece in there temporarily, but I don't want him to chew it like Cali did. What do you all use for this purpose? I could use plywood, or I have some really hard particle board, it's like 1/2" thick, but I'm afraid about the glue in it maybe being poisonous. Please suggest and I will go buy whatever I need.
One more thing, I read online that you can give toilet paper rolls for chewies, but I had noticed cali chewing on them before and found no paper shreds, so I'm thinking she was eating them. Is this normal? For now, I'm not giving those either to the new bunny.
