The Rabbit Rabble

I’m Thinker Than You Smart I Am

Timothy is so cute with this stuff dolphin I gave him. First I let Mus snuggle with and then I gave it to Tim so it would smell like her. He loves it! He snuggles with it, grooms it, and tosses it around. It looked like he was kissing it in the photo!

Mus is such a smart rabbit. She makes connections faster than I do. She automatically associates my brother with carrots, since he gives her some after dinner. She knows that dancing around = begging for treats (which usually works). And not to waste her energy on the big male human (my dad) because he isn’t going to give her any treats. As Bella would say, “Bigger the Ears, the Smarter the Rabbit.”

I Love That Scent You’re Wearing

Tonight I forgot to put on the slippers I wear downstairs, so Timothy was able to smell Mus, Charlie & Bella on my feet. Boy was he excited! He chinned my foot several times, sniffed it like crazy and then danced around me in circles until I distracted him. Awe, the little guy loves me! Or at least he loves how I smell! I made sure I washed my feet before going back upstairs. The last thing I need is for Charlie to smell another bunny’s chinning on me. He’d probably never speak to me again!

Soft Bunny, Warm Bunny

I had a nice, long snuggle with Mus today. She makes me want a giant bunny even more! Timothy has been more receptive to my snuggle attempts, but he doesn’t seem to want to stay still for very long. He did spray me with a bit of his pee today. I suppose that means he really likes me.  Charlie and Bella are out in the hall again, watching over their domain. Fortunately, they don’t seem to mind Mus and Tim taking up so much of my time. Fingers crossed!

Love at First Sniff

I let Mus out of her pen again today. She did go over to sniff Timothy, but was more interested in running the length of the living room. It’s more exercise than I’ve seen her do lately and I think she tired herself out. She plopped down between her pen and Tim’s, leaving little Timothy sniffing at her from 6 inches away. He seems a good deal more interested in her than she is in him. She just wants to be allowed where she’s not supposed to be.

Timothy got his exercise today too by running behind the couch several times. He’s such a cutie I just want to scoop him up at times. He’d never let me though. I’m content with just petting him.

I gave Mus a stuffed lion to snuggle with after seeing her cuddle with her pillow. She licked its face a bit and then stuck her head under it like she wanted it to groom her. Awe!

My buns are behaving very well. Perhaps they’ve gotten used to bunnies coming and going.

Single Bunny, Looking for Love

Timothy really dove into his book last night. The floor was cover in it this morning. He’s only a few months old and already such an avid reader! I had a penguin in Mus’s pen for the first day, and then gave it to Tim because he didn’t have any stuffed animals to snuggle with. He immediately went over to it and began grooming it. Awe! I think he likes it because it smells like Mus. He kept on grooming it and snuggling with it all day.

I left Mus’s gate open while I was in the living room this evening o see if she would try to jump out. After several minutes of peeking through the gate, and putting her paws up on it, she finally jumped over. She didn’t immediately head over to Timothy’s fence, but I was there on his side waiting for her. They got to sniff nose to nose and ran along the fence together. He tried to lick her and she grunted back at him “I don’t know you that well yet!” But they both kept coming back to sniff. I think they’ll get along very well together in the future.

Four Bunnies Aren’t TOO Much Trouble…

I went from bunny to bunny today petting, feeding and generally cooing over. Every time I come into Mus’s room she’s expecting food and dances around me. It’s so hard to say to a bunny! She seems pretty satisfied with a nice snuggle instead though. She’s so soft, and that face! I could snuggle for hours! But she’d likely get sick of me and move away before that happens.

I made a little error when I opened up Timothy’s fencing this morning and he was able to push right past a cushion. Fortunately I was there at the time, remarking how I probably should change the position of the fence as he might be able to squeeze through. That little guy can read minds! We really liked going behind the couch, as most rabbits do, so I secured off the fences and opened that area up to him now. I doubt he would be able to jump up on the couch. Even if he did, I don’t think he’d do any damage. He spent most of the afternoon sleeping under an end table. All the bunnies love that spot!

Charlie and Bella aren’t too annoyed that other buns are here, so far. Charlie let me pet him for a while this evening, and they both stayed in my room most of the night. Maybe they actually miss me! (Naw, it’s a coincidence.)

Gotta Chin Everything!

Our visitors had a busy night! Both Mus and Timothy spread out last night. They had staked out a few favorite sleeping spots that they alternated between all day long. Timothy really seems to like to flop up against his fence. He also loves the little green tube. He even slept in there a little bit. Mus was sure happy to see me this morning. She ran over to the kitchen door and waited patiently for her greens. I had a few nice petting sessions with her on the floor. She’s like a big soft pillow!
