What to say? what to say?

I started this blog because of my affection for rabbits. I'm not really a dog person, although I have had dogs. Cats are cool because they for the most part do their own thing. What I really like is to see how others go about caring for their buns. I love imaginative habitat idea's. And of course I love love bunny acrobatic exercises. Another cool thing is sleep time, the way they just decide to call it quits. I would love to hear from other bunny owners, about their buns, such as pictures or stories!! So please feel free to leave me your comments and let me know about you and your bunny friends.

Hot Town Summer In The City.

Happy 4TH to everyone. Today here in Puyallup it's sunny and about 76 degrees. That means fireworks and hot weather, which to our bunny friends thats not a good combo!! When it gets hot out you must take measures to keep your bun cool. Keep the cage out of the sun, and of course always have lots of water on hand. Be sure to keep a close eye on their water bottle!! I always have water bottles in the freezer so that I can throw a couple in the cage for cooling. You can also keep grapes and cherries, or strawberries in the freezer for a bunny popcicle!

And of course on this day in which we celebrate our In dependence, Its very important to be aware to not just bunnies but all of our animal friends. Its a very stressful time most rabbit's would be afraid of fireworks. Not just the loud sounds but also the flashing colors would alarm them.
Even if your rabbit is calm she may still get alarmed or frightened when she hears/sees the fireworks. Try to move your pet to a room that doesn't have windows or is quieter. you can also provide background noise like a fan. Well I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4TH, and take good care of your pet I'm sure they will appreciate it!!!!

Tyler Perry??

I wanted to watch, Why did I get married 2. Chester watched the whole thing with me. He sat on my lap and let me rub his ears and just hold him through out the whole thing, which I say, "cool movie buddy" And who knew Chester liked Tyler Perry??? I say next week Madea??

 He was cool until I brought out the camera, then he wanted to pose!!

Inside/Outside??

 I've been wrestling with idea of building an outside enclosure for my boys. I realize that like us they probably wouldn't mind being outside. Of course  bunnies face many problem's outdoors too! There are poisonous plants, dogs, maybe cats? And of course you saw our racoon friend! You can learn the additional danger's on the web.

 I've been thinking in my head for sometime the way I wanted to do it. Down the street from me somebody has a rabbit, and I saw they had a nice outdoor habitat for the bunny. My wife had 2 flower beds she built but hadn't used them for awhile. I asked her if I could use them of course she had to think about it, wasn't sure what was in them. I remember squash and pumpkins.

I covered the beds with the timothy grass, as you see Chester moved it all to the end!

 I had alot of fencing from back when my wife and I thought we would have chicken's. Got to love farm fresh eggs! So I took the fencing and used horseshoe shaped nail's and went all the way around the wood, I like the fact they can dig without being able to go under the fence. I took a rake and went through the beds to make sure it was just dirt left. I didn't want anything they could dig up and get sick on.

I ran fencing down the middle for seperate space. Each bunny gets a section of grass and a dirt box. I took totes and made little house for hiding, and put tablecloths over the top for sun protection. I wanted little doors so I could step in and get the bunnies to bring back in the house. I used big heavy frying pans for water, and heavy bowls for food. I would love to hear from people about their bunnies habitats and living areas, so feel free to respond to me. I look forward to comments.
