Troublemakers!

[Sonn]

These rabbits are going to be the death of me. 

Enki get a Bicillin shot every two days. I HATE giving injections but it is better than driving 8 hours round trip every other day to have his vet do it. So far he has been doing great he just sits there while I pick a spot and inject him. But not yesterday! I put him on the dryer (it’s the only stable area he won’t jump off of) and he sits there really well like usual. Plus with the little bit of hind leg weakness he has if he does decide to take a fall off he would land on something soft in there vs. hardwood floors. I prepared the needle and get everything ready and go back over to where he is sitting. But this time he doesn’t just sit there when I pick up his skin he raises his tail and pees all over me!! But that wasn’t enough he decided today was the day he wanted to fly. In two seconds he went from peeing to leaping over my shoulder into a laundry basket. When he jumped over my shoulder the needle stuck into my arm. He may be sick but he’s been a little snot lately.

If that wasn’t enough Monty had to be true to his name and be a terror. He gets the run of my bedroom, the hallway, and the living room when he is out to play. I must have gotten used to Enki, Banji, and Dini not jumping very high. Dini and Banji barely jumped on top of boxes and the highest Enki gets is the couch or the second level of my cats tower. It was time to put Monty back in his cage so I grab some craisins and a piece of banana and put it on his ramp. This usually signals a racing fur ball onto his ramp and into his cage. I waited and waited and waited but he didn’t come. On the hunt I go. There are only a limited number of things he can get under or behind but he wasn’t there. Then I hear this little scratching sound above my head. I looked up and there is Monty sitting proudly cleaning his face on top of a 7 foot high bookcase! First how? HOW? Did he get up there?? There are no steps or anything near the bookcase for him to get up that high! 

So now I have to get a step ladder and pluck the evil bunny off of the top shelf. I knew this wasn’t going to end well for me. Lol. I need to invest in some kevlar gloves. The second he sees my face he starts growling and lunging. I quickly snatch him up and feel the blood running down my arm. I put him to my chest and he calms down. Once he is on the floor he goes and gets his craisin and banana and acts like nothing happened. I on the other hand had to go have a flap of skin glued back to my thumb! And to think I voluntarily adopted the little devil.

Naughty bunnies!
Have a short story to relate to your topic.
So, I’m 18 and I live at my parents house. The bunnies live in a big x-pen in a room where there’s a couch and a T.V, basically the lounge. There’s an extended part of their x-pen, where it’s only about 2 1/2 feet tall (they have never jumped over it). This morning, I was going into town to pick up some food for my turtles, and I decided to play it safe and put this big tall bench cushion in front of the short part of their cage. It leaned over while I was gone and the bunnies used it as a ramp to escape out of the cage! I also didn’t think it was neccesary to close the doors to the lounge.
So they were running around the lounge and the dining and living room when my dad walked in from his office to find them running around. He decided to start trying to get Mocha. He knew that she would NEVER turn down a treat so he lured her to him with her favorite treat and then quickly grabbed her up and put her back in the cage. Dad finally found Rumpus. Rumpus gave him the stink eye and didn’t fall for the treat thing. He ran around teasing my Dad for 30 minutes and finally had enough and went to find Mocha, in the cage. Now they’re “innocently” eating hay and giving me their cutest faces.
Naughty Bunnies!

Oh, my…..those naughty little buggers! I can’t imagine the kind of trouble they will get in if they are bonded!!!!

I really want to know how Monty got onto the bookshelf. Time to set up a hidden camera?

How’s Enki doing?

[Sonn]

Mocha something similar happened with my first bunny Pacey. Except it was just me chasing him around the house for 2 hours before he just moseyed into his cage and flopped over. I think it is the only time that instead of my rabbit giving me the stink eye I was the one giving the stink eye.

I have no idea how he got on top of the bookshelf but he hasn’t tried it again yet.

Enki is not doing well unfortunately. He is responding well with the medication as far as the suspected EC is concerned but with his chronic illness it is taking its toll on him and unfortunately his vet does not see him making a full recovery this time. It makes me sad to say that I have been expecting this for awhile and I want some miracle drug to just make him better. He is on supplemented oxygen 6 times a day as well as a nebulizer and he is just so weak lately. Today has been particularly bad and if he is still the same in an hour he will be making a trip to the vet. But even through that he still has time to make trouble and torment the other animals in the house. Right now he is sitting directly in front of my cat just waiting for him to make a single movement so he can nip him.

Sonn you sure have some wascally wabbits.   You do too Mocha

Oh Sonn I am sorry Enki isn’t doing well.   Yes a miracle drug to make him well.  That would be ideal.   May  Enki miraculously heal so he can enjoy life with you and the other buns
