breaking and entering

Sorry it has been a little bit since my last post... Lots going on.
Last night I was re-arranging the bunnies room. (which is going to be so cute when I am all done.) *Reminder, they are not completely together yet, due to them not exactly wanting to share their space.* While moving a shelf I had to move the gate/fence in the middle of the room that divides the area, and Ru sneaked out of her area and was snooping around Remy's area. As soon as Remy seen her he went running up to her. He was so excited, they chased eachother, or I guess I should say Remy chased her. Then Remy went into her area and was getting into everything and eating her hay. Which happens to be the same as his, but he wants nothing to do with his own hay. I guess the grass is greener on the other side. LOL
Then they would go up to eachother rub faces, then chase again. Remy was so excited he did a sideways hop, where he kinda kicks his feet out to the side as he is jumping. It is the cutest thing.
I did put the fence back up later. But it is good to know that they are slowly getting use to sharing the area.
I love my fur babies.

Bunnies going bananas

So bunnies love bananas... Well mine do at least!! When i come in the room and unpeel that yellow delight, they go crazy for them... They chase me and beg for even just a little nibble. It is so cute. When the do get the banana, you better watch out because they will run you down.

 

Rukia love her nana's!!! I love when she eats them, that tongue is all over liking her lips and paws for every little bit left.

Baking for my furbabies...

Yes... you read this right, I bake for my bunnies. They are very spoiled. I grind up fresh veggies, one fruit, a cup of their pellets, hay, and some organic baby food all in my Ninja. Then I put this batter mix in a a mini muffin pan and bake for about an hour and let sit.
They absolutly love them.. They get 2 little cakes for dinner each night.

In this recipe (in case anyone wants to bake for their buns)
I used 8 strawberries, mustard greens, red leaf lettuce, radishes, pellets, Timothy hay, and carrot/squash organic babyfood. All mixed together in my Ninja pulse.

Little miss do what I want

Well Rukia and Remy are still not completely together in the room, the have a fence seperating them. Well Rukia has decided last night that she wanted to have more space and she wanted to try and dig her way out. I clapped my hands and said, "No dig Ru" she stopped looked at me with her big ears up and then thumped at me. Then went back to digging, I again clapped my hands and she stopped and looked at me again... came up to the fence and THUMPED, then went back to her dig spot. Like she was saying I dont care what you say... I was so surprised. I then just said, "No DIG Ru" (and did not clap) she stopped and looked at me walked away, and then thumped twice. Then I put my hands up to clap but did not even get to clap and she did a lil thump. I could not believe the display she was putting on. So i picked her up and gave her som attention and she calmed down a bit. I thought maybe it was time to give her some more space, but not until the next day. Because she was so stubborn and bad. So today I opened up her area in the room a little more, and we did the whole No dig and then a thumb thing again... ARE you kidding me, i just gave you a bunch more room. She finally stopped and started running and hopping all over. so she is finally happy with her space.
For now.

bedtime games

So my bunnies have their own bedroom. Yes, they are very spoiled... well my hubby works night 3 nights a week and when he is at work, I sleep in the bed in their room. Well one night I woke up at around 2 am to a protective Mr Remy sitting on my tummy. Just sitting there minding his own business. It was so cute I didnt want to move. Then the heat kicked on and Remy stood gaurd on my tummy like he meant business. Then a few minutes later he realized I was awake and wanted to play and started running around the bed and hopping, it was so cute, but it was 2 am. I had to pick him up and put him down by Rukia. He was back up in bed by 5am. He loves his momma...

Yes, you can litter-train your bunny!

Well I have had Remy for a year and Rukia for about 2 months. It only took my about a week and half to train Remy to use his litter box, Rukia it took a little long.

There are alot of things to know when trying to train your little bun bun. Also there are special litters to get. I have found that ground recycled newspaper works the best, Remy is very particular about his litter if it is not that kind he will get in the box and dig it out of the box. Start with around one inch of litter, and cover that with Timothy Hay.

any hop... Do NOT choose:No clay litter! This can cause serious respiratory problems.
No Cat Works litter! This can cause zinc poisoning and death.& No Pine or Cedar litters! These can also kill your rabbit.

Nobun's perfect. Your bun will probably have a few accidents as they are learning to use their box.

Always remember that rabbits do not respond well to physical discipline. They have been designed to be easily frightened.I have found that if you clap your hands and say no potty if they urinate in other places other than the box, then i put them in the box gently. I used the clap of my hands and words as my discipline. My rabbits respond very well to this method.

The most effective cleaning solution for bunny pee accidents is white vinegar. It's a good idea to get a spray bottle and fill it with white vinegar or vinegar and water.

You will want to find the corner they go in the most and add in some of the bun's poops and urine-soaked paper or hay.

Giving them praise when they have gone is good and also letting it stay soiled a little longer till they grasp the concept will help.

They also will think the box is a bed and often will just lay in it. Which is kinda cute.

How can you not love Bunnies!

Naps and Bunnies

There is nothing better than to come home from a crazy stressful day at work and then lay down with one of my snuggly bunnys for some bunny therapy. So relaxing. Remy and I snuggled up on the couch for about 2 hours and napped. He just nuzzled up next to me, under our fuzzy blanket (which is his favorite). I woke up and I felt so rested and he was just as happy. I love my fur baby. Everyone should have at least one Bunny (or a fur baby)
