Update on ZRabbits:
Well, the new thing now is "jump off Mom's Lap". Neville started this practice a couple days ago. Now as soon as I take my hand off him, he launches. It's not a high chair that I sit in. It's about 14 or 15 inches off the ground, so I'm not too upset when he does it. But he is a good jumper. Nice stretched out form. Just as you would imagine. So now starts a new game, jump off lap, run around the living room until caught to finish grooming. Well at least we both get some exercise. lol He's not really had hard to catch, actually really simple. He just now figures he can jump and takes the opportunity to.
Kreacher found out accidently that he can jump off my lap. Got to close to the edge because he was trying to get to Jake and fell/jump. After going to check out Jake, he had a ball running and binkying around the living room. And I got a thump every time I got near because he was having so much fun and knew if I caught him, he would go back to his crate. I obliged for awhile. He needed a little run, and with him going under Willard and Dobby's crate, there no issues. The boys took it in stride. Then Kreacher submitted, enjoyed a snuggle and was put back in his crate. We will see if this practice continues tonight.
Funny, both of them went straight to Jake. Kreacher bumped noses and Neville climbed all over Jake. And Jake, enjoyed all of it. BTW, Jake is doing very well now. Almost back to his ole self. Just need to be careful with the new dog food and definitely have to put some weight back on him. Just too skinny.
Dobby is still enjoying the title of "House Bunny". He is such a pleasure to have out and about. He's learning to watch where we step and has the "oh mom's in the kitchen getting something" act down. I think Jake taught him that. Just so funny to turn around and seeing both of them there waiting to see if something is for them.
Luna, well what can I say. She is definitely different. When she's out and about, you really have to watch your step. She just that curious, follows every where you go, and when you are at her level, she's in your lap and in your face. She loves that attention and loves to be touched.
When I give her hay, she's right there picking out stalks before you even get it in her litter box. Actually she wears it and it doesn't seem to bother her one bit. When you go to get her food bowl, she's checking you out and when your return it full of food, she grabbing it with her teeth and helping you place where she wants it.
And I have never seen a rabbit rearrange her whole crate so much. That hay hut is everywhere. It should have been a mobile hay hut. She drags it all around, she stands on it, digs in it and eats it. Sometimes she will even nap in it, after she has it arranged her way.
I know it's time for her to stretch her legs when she starts biting on the bars. I guess that's her way of knocking on the door. And if the biting of the bars doesn't get your full attention, she then goes and perches on her hut house and will stare you down. She knows what she wants. But when I do get her out at those times, she really does use the time out very well. She just goes crazy in her x-pen. Loves the tubes my husband put together. She now and sprint through them without any hesitation. She stands on them too and binkys off them.
I have to say being younger than Neville, she is so much cleaner. Neville in the x-pen in 2 minutes will have poop all over. Luna on the other hand will make the litter box every time. Neville is a male and is definitely marking his territory. What a mess, but it is what it is. Something that I just have to live with because we are keeping him intacted and will be mating him with Luna. Taking the rabbitry really slow. We will see what happens once the first litter arrives. Not going to do anything stupid that will jeopardize any of them.
Alll an all, the ZRabbits Tribe is doing well.
Started our grow box in the basement. Need to have fresh veggies for the Tribe year round. So my husband is studying it and hopefully along with the outside garden we are successful in supplying our Tribe with the fresh, clean veggies they need.
Monday Morning, time to get back to the Real World...work. Had a lovely weekend with the Tribe.
