Happy Holidays!

December 29, 2009

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.

Reply to Drizzle’s Mom

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 Luna!
 
I love your blog. I’m a new mom of a 1 month old female rabbit named Drizzle. She’s very tame and sociable. I’d love to be the best but I’m a bit worried because I’ve never cared for a bunny before, let a lone a very young one. You said your mom got you some hay? Is it particularly essential? If so, where can I buy alfalfa hay? Also, what kind of toys should I get Drizzle? Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it! Looking forward to more entries.
 
Sincerely,
Barbie

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
