@BMT: have you tried some bonding work outside of your apartment? Say at a friends place perhaps.

I'm sorry you might have to take Dexter back. It's never easy. He got a whole month at least, having people doting in him.

Yes. We've tried EVERYTHING. We started the bonding at a rescue away from home and she was a little agressive but not so much that we didn't think it was possible....and since then it's just been a disaster. We've tried bathtub, outside, my office at work, car rides, stroller....and the time limit on them being together before Lola gets agressive is about 5ish minutes...and that's probably on the max end of things.  I just don't know if she is SUPER territorial or just young and doesn't get it (she's almost a year).  The only time they had been kinda fine is when 2 people had their hands on them on the floor petting them both at the same time and almost instantly when you removed your hands she would start nipping and mounting him.  Poor little guy would put up with it for a few seconds before he retaliated and then they'd end up in circles. (They broke a strainer...no joke. ) We paused and took time off for a week and then tried again and it's exactly the same.  

Ultimately, I'm throwing in the towel on bonding just because I am most concerned with them injuring each other.  The last thing I would want is to see one of them be seriously injured.   

Finally for those of you going with Blue withdrawals here are some new pictures

Stop hoomin I am undercover!!

 

This is now my chair, no hoomins allowed!

 

 what are you doing on the computer?

 

 Stop Blue, I am begging for a treat!!

 

 Well? Lets go hoomin, I want my treat!!!

 

Oh my goodness! Head explosion!!!!! Everyone's buns are so cute! =33333 I'm just going to have buy and island and bunap all the cute buns and hide them there. xD

@Kyrre - YEY, someone from Norway!
Where do you get your hay? I'm struggeling so hard finding quality hay around here, and I can't find anyone that will ship hay to Norway..

Hey Svandis!

Yes we're all in Norway, Peter, Penelope and me...
Oslo to be precise.

I vary a lot as my buns seem to get tired of the same hay.
I buy large sacks of hay at my local petshop at Alnabru and it's local grown, not imported.
The sack is guaranteed over 8kg I think, and usually between 10 and 12.
It smells fresh and nice and the hay is greenish and quite tough giving the buns something to chew.

It doesn't contain much brown/wilted stuff but still the buns like to drag it all over and pee on it.
Sometimes they still eat it though, I guess I can just give up understanding these bullys.

I also sometimes buy the smaller 2kg bags as well as an occational bag of oats hay and such for a treat.
The buns seem to like the variation and it reduces the ammount of hay they waste as they usually eat most of the first handfulls of a different type.

Bullrider, I just realized Cinnamon has tanger's ears. Maybe he has some tan in him?! Would explain the similar behavior

@FF I noticed that coloring too, I was thinking the same. lol he does have a few spots with that beautiful tan color.

The stages of Cinnabun and getting a treat

"Just laying here. Relaxing. Oh what's that? You're going to the kitchen. That's nice."

"Give. The. Apple. To. Me. Now. It is necessary for bunny. I need it. Give it to me and I'll go away. Just hand it over, Hoomin. Now. The apple. NOW."

OMG I just love cinnabun lol she is so adorable.

oh my goodness, not checking for one day made for SO many photos to see made my night.

Molly is such a cutie, I love her colours and such a sweet face.

Tan lover, I can never get over how elegant your buns look (well other than that escape photo, which is priceless)

such beautiful buns, makes it even harder not to go out and find a friend for Bunny

All my photos seem to be of Bunny lounging on our bed. That's where she spends most of her time, I think she just likes to be with us when we're relaxing. 

This is one of her keeping me company and being super patient while I work on payroll and activity planning. Who needs a dog? :p

Finn is much more curious about the neighbor's dog than Tofu was. This makes Slash (the dog) very happy. He loves to come and sit in front of our porch, in fact he pulls his owner to our porch every time he's out for a walk. He knows he'll get to see kitties, hedgehogs, and if he's lucky... the bunny



I gave Finn a willow ball today. He liked it


and this is how litter training outside of the cage is going. >_<

So many cute bunnies!  I don't even know where to start.

Tanlover - I LOVE seeing pictures of your hyper buns.  They almost always make me laugh (I thoroughly enjoyed the one of the aftermath following your attempt to enjoy a morning coffee, haha!).

 Chacha - What a cutie!  Look at those cheeks!  I love that picture of her pre-nail trim.

 Bullrider - Blue is beautiful!  I really want a flemie but unfortunately would not have room for one at the moment.

 Daisybinks - What a sweet picture, and I really like her fur pattern.  I don't think I've quite seen one like that yet.

I snapped a few new pics of Luna I would like to share.

 

I have recently begun expanding her play area to include my bedroom.  She LOVES my bed.  I just can't seem to keep her off of it.  I wouldn't be so worried if Marbles (my previous bunny) hadn't of felt the need to repeatedly treat it like she would her litter dish.

Luna thinks I spend too much time online.  I told her I'm only on here checking out how to be a better bunny momma, but she doesn't care.  All she wants is more strawberry.

 

 

I snapped this picture a few days ago.  That teddy bear has recieved a lot of bunny attention over the years.  Here's Marbles at around the same age. 

It made me so happy to be able to get a similar photo of the two of them. 

 

OMG Finn is so cute!! I can totally see how you fell in love with him at first site =)

What an adorable bunch of bunnies we have here on BB!!!!! I just love them all!

TanLover- Those 3 must keep you busy. I can't get enough of them. I love their noses.

I'm going to steal Bunny. She's so gorgeous.

Love the pic of Finn with the willow ball. And Luna's helicopter ears. And the pic of Chacha being held. And all the pictures.

Luna's ears! I love them.

Finn is too cute.

Zoo, have you tried putting litter in the litter box? I'm not sure where you are, but I love equine pellets/ wood stove pellets, they are cheap and work well. He might honestly just be confused because there isn't a difference to him inside the box or outside.

Had to share this video, I made that treat ball thing like on the other thread, with a toilet paper roll, but I put a tiny bit of oats and banana in it, so the oats would fall out but they had to work for the banana. Really funny, Sam took it and ran but Lady got it back, then the video shows what happens when Sam is unhappy with Lady not sharing

Luna oh my goodness. How can you stand those uppy/down ears!! <3 <3

Aww I love those ears, wait I am getting a signal!!! bunny ears!!!!

Does anyone else have a bun that is camera shy?

Roscoe absolutey despises having his picture taken. I have to be a sneaky camera ninja to get pics of him lately! Last night he was doing the funniest thing. He kept tormenting my husband. He would try to get through the bunny-proof fence right by hubby's chair. So hubby put a shoe box in front of it to block Roscoe, and so Roscoe started digging at the carpet in front of it. Hubby squirted him with the water gun, and Roscoe ran away.

So then began the torment. Roscoe would hide behind the chair across the room, peeking out at hubby. Hubby would turn his back or get distracted, and Roscoe would dash over and dig madly on top of the box, which made a lot of noise. Hubby would madly search for the squirter but by the time he turned around, Roscoe would do a high-flying binky away out of range.

And repeat over and over for like two hours. He would peek around the chair, dash over, dig madly, and then gleefully binky out of range of the squirter. It was hilarious! I wish I could have recorded it, darn it! So awesome.... Then when it was all over, Roscoe jumped up on hubby's lap and nose-bumped his chin and then got down and flopped out, like "Ok, I'm done. Thanks for playing with me."

BLUEEEEEE <3 <3 <3  

And Hahahahahah, and FF -- I totally didn't notice that!  Maybe he DOES have Tan and that's why he's sooo insane!   I call my chocolate Tan, Tanger, the lemon bunny.  He's not scared of anything.   Including any human that he meets.  Or the vacuum.   And he tries jumping things that he can not jump and falls flat on his face.  All.  The.  Time.   He's a total dope.  And he's always falling off the third level for some reason.  He'll get all excited and will fall right off the edge.     This face () describes him so perfectly.

Cinnabun and her total "GIMME, HOOMAN" face!  All the time!  Such a diva face!

DaisyBinks -- She's freaking gorgeous!  I wish my buns would lounge with me for a long period of time.  They'll exhaust themselves and plop down next to me... for like 5 seconds... and then Binky Off to find something new to destroy! She looks soo big!  How much does she weigh?!?!?

Zoologist -- Finn is GORG!  Ahhhh, what a cutie!  And Slash is soooo handsome!  I love dogs like him, even though so many people think they're vicious.  I think dogs are totally the product of their upbringing!  Such a gorgeous, gorgeous boy!

Memarie -- I feel obligated to show you this picture of Tanger now.... The first night we brought him home, we had his cage all set up nice and pretty... and when I woke up in the morning this is what I came out too....

 

That brown mush beside his head is what was left after his pellets after he flung them all over the cage and then proceeded to flip his water dish on top of the pellets.... and yes, he's standing up THROUGH where his water dish SHOULD be... and yes, his hay holder is flipped half way off the side (which was actually PHYSICALLY attached to the cage).... Oh, and there SHOULD be one of those toys that hangs from the ceiling made out of nothing but metal welded together with little wooden pieces and a bell on the end ( I think they're called Kabobs?) .... should be there.. but nope, he tore the whole thing down and then apart so we found all the pieces flung everywhere through his CareFresh!   Yepp, this was what I woke up to the morning after we got my darling, sweet little Tanger...

Also, Luna is sooooo ADORABLE!!!  I love the pic of her on the bed with that one loppy ear!!!!

 

So, I'm sitting here... once again, enjoying my cup of coffee... when I heard a big bang and crash.. Look over and this is what I see...

 

OY VEY.  They are lucky they are sooooo cuteeeeeee.  

Shhhh. Somebunny is sleeping. 

LOL tanlover omg that is sooo true, every time I turn around one of the buns is doing something LOL

Cinnaaaabunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn <3

BullRider -- and it's NEVER anything good....

Oh my gosh Tan. They are so hyper!!! I think we need a good video

A  day in the life of Pie. Rabbit Pie.

Early morning clover patch stroll and pondering in the garden.

Pre-breakfast appointment with the fridge. Timing is crucial.

Most important task of the day: menu planning. No hoomin food allowed. Occasional juice and milk allowed.

Hard work calls for a mid morning nap.

Followed by an afternoon nap on the bed as soon as the hoomin has left for work.

Followed by Yoga when the hoomin gets home.

 

Followed by an appointment with the brush for a whole body groom, and a bed time story from my hoomin.

Then we go to sleep to rest after a full day of hard work.  No moving hoomin!

THE END

Oh CK!!! She looks like such a sweetie!!!

Ah! Luna's ears, oh my goodness how can you stand it? I'd spend all day just squeeing :p

CK, I love your day in the life

Tanlover, look at those hellions! And my Bunny is 4 pounds as of last month. She is just soooo long when she stretches out. Some days she still looks like such a baby, and others she looks so grown up and elegant.
