Keep the Volume Thumpin

All four buns in our house are happy. They'll soon be joined by a number of buns arriving for Spring Break. I hope Butterscotch and Hershey will be kind to their new roommates, and not make too much noise. They already enjoy a number of loud activities including, but not limited to pulling on the …

Bunny Upgrades

We cleaned the boys' room downstairs yesterday. They weren't exactly happy about that, but now they have nice fleecy blankets all over the floor. Hershey is still sleeping in the corner by the convector, but now Butterscotch has gone over there so he can snuggle with him. Aw, he loves his big brother! I'm trying …

Charlie: “She did it!”

We clipped Bella's nails last week. Instead of picking her up, we let her keep her back feet on the table, like I do with Charlie. She behaved a lot better than usual. I really think that makes a difference. We still need two people to do her, but at least it doesn't take us …

Building a Better Litter Box

In case some of you were wondering, this is the screen I made for my litter box. Below is a little description of what I did, but you can find others if you do a google search (that's how I did mine). At Home Depot  I bought a $10 roll of 1/4 in. 23-Gauge Galvanized …

Solving Problems at $1/Square Foot

I recently ordered a screen for my litter box to see if it would curb Bella's digging tendencies. Low and behold, it actually worked! so off to Home Depot to buy a big roll of hardware cloth and make some more. Then, something wonderful happened, Charlie started using the litter box again. Apparently my crazy …

CAUTION! Bunnies At Work

Here's Bella hard at work with her filing. She puts in a few hours a day, usually ( hopefully) starting after 8 a.m. I was munching on a packet of Skittles and in the corner of my eye I saw Bella periscoping up in the litter box. After a moment of sniffing, she bolted out …

How to Make a Better (Behaved) Bunny: Do What They Want

Charlie's the mellowest he's been in ages and even Bella has stopped nipping for attention. Though she did stick her nose into the treat container and helped herself to one this morning. Yet another litter box arrangement debuted this week. So far the results are good, poop and pee in the boxes, not the blanket. …

Oh, Are You Back?

The buns were not happy to see me after a week away. It's understandable. They think I abandoned them and they were allowed to go wild and do whatever they wanted. "You came back and all you brought was yelling!" Boy was it a mess. I have to re-litter train Charlie, apparently, and do a …

My Little Sentry

We've been lucky enough to get a few days of warm weather and that means it's time to break out the frozen water bottles! I don't know which Bella likes better: snuggling with one or licking it. I'm waiting to see the two of them snuggled together with a bottle between them. The latest addition …

Happy 4th Birthday Bella!

Don't worry, that bite was part of the cake design. I wouldn't dare let her eat a whole chunk of that yummy cake! Bella must have known it was her birthday today because she was in total destruction mode. Last two mornings she's been ripping at the rug outside their litter boxes and shredding the …
