        well ok it’s not technically my birthday yet… a coupe days. but, well, most of you know that i work at petsmart and today the humane society came. normally they don’t bring bunnies but they brought one today because another family wanted to look at this one. (y’all sooo know where this is going ).  anyways, i was bagging fish for people and i heard someone mention that we had a bunny in the adoption room! so naturally i ran to my boss & asked for my 15. and this other lady was holding him, so i waited my turn and guys, i fell in love. he’s the sweetest thing. he’s not neutered (our humane society doesnt neuter bunnies ) yet but of course i will get him fixed. he’s probably a year old, and a brown and white dutch i lost my camera cord, but i will post plenty of pictures tonight or tomorrow. anyways, he’s such a sweetie. no name yet, because max and penny are both named after beatles songs, so i want to continue the trend, but i already have “jude” reserved for my first child (lol) and no other ones jumped out at me. i’m open to suggestions!!

         

        anyways, best birthday present to myself everrrrr.

            What about Ringo? ^_^ Paul? John? Although I have to admit my favorite Beatle was George HARE-ison…lol. (Harrison would work, right?)
            Just don’t name him after the Boob in Yellow Submarine. Jeremy Hillary Boob, PhD. xD
            It’s so funny you should mention the Beatles, because every time I had to give Mimzy his doses this last two weeks, I would quote, “Here your Blueness, have some nasty medicine.” lol…couldn’t help myself….
            No no no no….don’t name him HELP! ^_^ (sorry, it’s late and I’m a little punchy)
            Wow, I wish I had your luck! Happy Birthday to you!

                HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

                Other girl names could have been Abbey, Lucy, Miss Lizzie…there’s many! Good ol’ Wikipedia lol
                Possible boy names connected to song titles: (Day)Tripper, Teddy (Boy), Winston‘s (walk) and Jai (Across the Universe i.e. “Jai guru deva om”). I like “Jai” & ”Tripper”.

                    What a great birthday present for yourself! I tried to get me a bunny as well for my birthday, but my boyfriend just laughed a lot and said we don’t have enough room. Grrr.

                    I’ve always wanted a pet named Kismet = unavoidable destiny And this is what this bunny is: your unavoidable destiny.

                    So when is your birthday??

                            Happy Bunday!

                            He looks more like Paul-the-Cute-One.

                            Strawberry (fields)

                            I actually like Ringo for a boy bunny.

                              Funny, I like Ringo too. I listen to NPR and a few weeks ago Ringo Starr gave an interview on Weekend Edition and I truly enjoyed the interview – he’s really kind of been the musician in the background, I think with The Beatles, but he’s really a warm and amazing man.

                                    I vote Harrison or Rigby

                                        well i let him out of the cage today! i penned max and penny and then built another little pen for me and the new boy
                                        i’m currently laying down with new boy and max trying to get at each other through the pen! lol
                                        every once and a while new boy will jump on my back- which let me tell you, reminds me to clip his nails! ouch!!! i don’t think the shelter did it at all because they’re like talons. anyways, i’m not going to do any bonding of any kind until new boy gets neutered- which should be next week. when i get paid next friday i will make an appointment. and peeee-ewww i forgot how stinky unneutered boys are!! :p

                                        oh and those are just rose hips and raisins in the first picture

                                          it seems like new boy is also grunting a little when he runs. he’s not being aggressive, just grunting away. should i be worried about a sinus problem or is it just him being an unneutered boy?

                                            I LOVE the Beatles! I think it is so cool that your buns’ names are Beatles inspired. The suggestions you have gotten so far are great. I would totally vote for Harrison or Rigby. I think they both absolutely scream Beatles!.

                                            BTW, your new baby is adorable. I look forward to future pics of him.

                                              I like Sgt. Pepper the best! I agree with corpathina that Rigby has a sad connotation…!

                                                I have a very grunty and vocal Dutch and he’s older and neutered. So it could be the fact he isn’t neutered but he could just be a vocal rabbit. Nevertheless, a full check-up from the vet would be a very good idea.

                                                  I think the grunting is just hormonal, just by the way he was running I could see he was hormonal because he was running with his tail up -that is what thistle did running around me. Thistle would run around me with his tail up while ‘honking’ (grunting), and then it would end with him humping my leg :/

                                                  He is very cute! I love dutches! I vote for the name Rigby! but you could also call him eggman- from ‘I am the eggman…’

                                                        well tonight max and new boy (harrison, rigby or ringo ) broke through the nic cube fence. i was using the bathroom and i could hear them jiggling the fence and when i got back, new boy was humping max!! new boy isn’t neutered yet so i had a lovely substance to clean off of max. gross. there were some tufts of new boy’s hair on the ground (max has been trying to nip him through the fence), but no injuries. then once i fixed the fence, they did it again! this time i was right there and got em apart, but goodness gracious they both want to meet each other so badly. but that is sooooo not going to happen lol

                                                        this may seem vulgar to some people but i thought i would post a picture of new boy laying down because his man parts are clearly visible- for those who are having trouble determining the sex of their bunnies…. anyways, that’s my warning lol

                                                        video- with some thumps. new boy is quite a thumper. i think he gets frustrating because he wants to see max.

                                                              aw my maxy pad (my mom thinks this particular nickname is totally gross, but whatever lol). he is adorable. i wish i could bond with penny like i did with max. i think when i got pen pen i was too preoccupied with bonding her with max that i forgot to work on bonding the two of us. maybe i’ll do that over the summer. its possible right? to form a better relationship with her even though she’s lived with me for 7 months now? i hope so. she’s funny and she definitely loves me when i have food lol

                                                                      oh i know!!! i’m horrible. it seems like every other day, penny is a boy, then a girl. HE just looks so regal and feminine…

                                                                      well, guys, new boy is a houdini bun!!!! he got out while i was in class… for 3 hours!!!!!! there were tufts of max hair on the ground, but no penny hair. HE was hiding. i checked both boys over- no bites or nips. but man, they were both covered in urine! is this normal?? its almost like they were peeing directly on each other. weird. but i have seriously tied houdini’s pen so tightly that he must be jumping out.

                                                                      any suggestions, for those of us with jumping buns?
