Well here goes the blogging. I haven't done this before! I'm a brand new bunny owner. I've had my little guy almost two weeks. He started off shy but he isn't anymore. I'm doing my research and going to be using this forum quite a lot so I can keep learning. I have 6 guinea pigs too. Life is interesting! Since 2010 is almost over I probably won't bother to start a new blog for the new year.
Milo met my friend's disabled daughter today. When she saw Milo she started saying 'Hey bunny bunny bunny!' and introduced herself to him...lol. The little girl was laying on the couch so mom could take care of her and I put Milo on the couch with her. It was precious to see and was making the child laugh. I did take pictures but mom isn't at all comfortable with her daughter's photos being online so I won't be posting those. He was also violently shaking one of the barriers I have in here, which is a bad thing...I have a very particular land lord, if the people below me complain of the noise she'll make me get rid of him...and she'll be allowed to because it will be considered interfering with their reasonable enjoyment. But I posted about that and will be working on putting a stop to that! We are bonding nicely, a real positive. He walks on me and tries to lick my clothes. For the moment I have to not allow him to do that because he proceeds to chew holes. Something else I have to work at putting a stop to! But I'm using the forum...and the internet...to look for ideas on those things. He's quite the handful now! He's getting along with the guinea pigs...he doesn't really care about them for the most part, and they don't much care about him. If he does approach them on the floor, or vice versa, there have been no problems, a big plus! They don't co-habitate but they are allowed to play together on the floor and I sit and supervise.
Due to being disabled, and sick a bunch of the time plus not being home, there have been times where Milo has had to spend more time confined. He looks right at me and stamps real hard, so I know he's angry with me for that. It hasn't yet been two weeks though, so I know he has to get used to the routine and lifestyle he's been put into. I know he will. He's a shelter rescue and they didn't let him run around at all. He got here and he has loads of freedom. I think somebody got a little spoiled by it and is showing me. It's okay though. Together we will work on it! I have to watch him careful when he's running around. He has a habit of getting behind my wheelchair, or under it, so any time I need to move I have to really remember to check around my chair before it do it in case certain little turkey boys are lurking...hehehe. He did manage to get his little bunny bottom into my shower one day. Mommy's fault, I was getting ready for stuff and I forgot to shut the door. I don't want him in the shower, especially that day I had just totally vimmed the shower (anyone that doesn't know what that means, Vim is a cleaner and a strong one at that) I didn't want him ingesting it and besides bunny it's the shower...get out! :bunnydance: I took a picture...then booted him...lmao. Here's the pic. BUSTED! (I will crop this pic so it doesn't make the thread scroll side to side, so this is only temporary!)
