New House

After weeks of living in my old, cramped house, Mom finally got around to buying me a new house!

This is waaay larger than my previous houses. Also, it feels better on my toesies since I get plastic matting.

Mom says we need to do a bit of ‘modification’ before I live in this house. But before that, of course I have to do a bit of test run before my uncle modifies the cage.

I can stand up,

And I can scratch my face.

Here’s my uncle adding security features on my cage. They say it’ll prevent mousies or cats from getting in my house.

Thanks Mom (and Uncle)! I love it.

Happy Birthday to me!

I celebrated my first birthday yesterday (May 31,2010) with a jump - and a slice of apple:

Well, an almost jump.

Notice anything different with my background? Its my new house! A post on my new house up next!

ZOMBIE BUN!

RAAAWR!!

(ok, I was just eating hay)

Summer Bunny

Hi guys! How are you doing? Its getting pretty hot here in the Philippines - summer’s here! Its especially hot for us furry creatures. I’ve heard several cases of pets dying from heat stroke - boo! To avoid this, here are some tips to help you get through this hot spell.

1. Drink lots of water. Mom always makes sure that I have a full bottle of cold water before she leaves for work.

2. Stay away from the sun. We all need the sun, but too much sun can make us overheat, get sick, and (ugh) die. Stay under the shade, and make your Moms or Dads keep your cage away from the sun. Right now, I have a huge buri hat covering the sunny side of my cage, so I’m all good.

3. Shed your fur! Ok, I know this comes naturally. I’m heavily shedding right now, and Mom’s helping me get rid of my extra fur. She uses a defurminator but most of the time does the fur pulling by hand.

4. Take a bath. Other furry animals can easily take baths. Cosette the dog gets regular baths to keep herself cool. But since us bunnies are not really into the whole bath thing, I ask Mom to rub cold water on my ears and over my fur. This helps me feel a lot better on extra hot days.

That’s it. I hope I gave you a bit of good advise. Enjoy summer!

PS. Yes, I am currently staying in my old cage. I just chewed through two layers of wire (I am that strong) and created a pretty respectable hole to crawl through. So while Mom’s waiting for the carpenter to fix my cage, I have to stay in the small one. Boo.

Rush rush rush~

A quick update!

Mom got me a sack of timothy hay last Saturday. She said it came from a good friend she met in a forum. She also said she saw a lot of bunnies there, and there were lops and rexes. She said they’re cute, but I have no doubt that I am cuter than them.

I’ve been busy redecorationg my little home, an Mom said we’ll be renovating some things around here. She said we’ll be changing my flooring, and maybe add some things to my little house. 

That’s all for now. I’m busy playing with my cardboard toys.

What to do what to do~

 The look of disapproval

Moooom~ I’m bored.

Yes, I’m really bored. Mom’s at work all day, and I don’t have anyone to play with. Yes, I have a huge cardboard box, a new key rattle (a gift for Christmas), more cardboard pieces, and cardboard tubes, but I’m still bored. I want my Mom.

So to show my disapproval, I am chewing my litter box. Yes, I have chewed all sides. Mom is not pleased, but she said we won’t buy a new litter box yet. Now she’s looking around this internet for a solution to my new found ‘hobby’. She thinks applesticks would be n option, but we don’t have applesticks here in the Philippines.

What do you think?

Happy Holidays!

Mom and I would like to say Happy Holidays to everyone!

This is my first Christmas (and New Year). I got a new toy rattle from Mom (thanks Mom!) and a sack of hay from Dad/Mom’s boyfriend. Good times.

Now let me hide from those pesky visitor kids who wants to poke me.

My Leash!

Mom bought me this leash a few months ago. Its pink with green fishbone prints. I asked her why it has fishbone prints and she said the store doesn’t have one with carrot prints. Hmp, I don’t think they know how pretty carrot prints are.

I didn’t like it when she first tried it on me. I’m not really pleased with having something worn over my shoulders. Its uncomfortable. But I had to like it since Mom says it’ll keep me near her. She says with a leash, we can go on walks outside. 

She also said it’ll keep me from eating the garden plants and keep me away from Cosette the dog, who doesn’t like small animals. Sheesh Mom, such a paranoid. I just want to stay in my cage or indoors. I don’t want to go outside. I do need a bit of sunshine and exercise though.

But yeah, Mom’s right.  If we’re going out, I need to be on the leash. I don’t want to be eaten by other animals. I also don’t want to be run over by a moving metal thing. I want to sample our garden plants though (hee~).

The photo above was taken during a practice run indoors. Here’s another photo of me chinning our old TV:

Don’t worry about my dewlap/furlap*. The leash doesn’t irritate it at all.

What do you think? Do you have a leash at home?

*furlap - my dewlap is actually tiny. It just looks big because of my fluffy fur.

Hello!

First off, Mom says sorry  for not posting for a while. She’s been busy and she always forget copying my new photos to that small object she calls USB. Anyway, we got this email from Ms. Barbie asking about certain things about bunny care.

Hi!

Thank you for sending me an email. I love answering questions from other bunny owners.

First off, you say she’s one month old? She’s pretty young. Avoid feeding her vegetables for a few weeks since her tummy might not process vegetables well. You can feed her hay and pellets. We get our hay from the Tack Shop of Manila Polo Club. They sell it in bulk, so we usually share a bale with other rabbit owners.

You can also get hay from a private sellers. (I sent you an emailfor their contact details).

As for toys, I usually get baby rattles, cardboard rolls (the ones used in tissue rolls) and cardboard boxes. Bunnies love to chew and toss our toys around, so these toys are perfect. Just make sure to get baby rattles made from hard plastic, else we can eat them!

Hope this helps! Also, say hello to Drizzle for me. Pics?

Love,
Luna
