o_O If you are willing to help.. I don’t get why he would have a problem with it

Lolli is making me crack up! Silly bumba!

I had to trim Chacha’s nails tonight and.. she was not pleased. Her nails grew a lot more o_O!!!! She got a craisin afterward. She was so cute after that. She laid out flat, with her head on the ground.. eyes open. I think she was zonked out It was so cute!

As for the lettuce, I give 2-3 leaves. When it gets to the smaller pieces, I’ll give 4-5. I got a container like you mentioned from work, and I forgot about watching Chacha and she ate half of it.. my goodness. I would just use a measuring cup to measure out 2 cups or something. Some bunnies can get carried away with having the container right in front of them.. *COUGHCHACHACOUGH*

Well… I give lots of veggies as they don’t much for pellets. Each bun gets less than 1/8 of a cup. So veggies need to make up for the rest of the nutrients. I go through a head of romaine and a head of greenleaf in about 3 days, large heads too. I mean I can barely fit them int eh bags at the store. Plus a bunch of cilantro and parsley. And whatever looks good in the produce section So yeah. They get alot of veggies. And when Squirrel gets older, he will be getting veggies too. SO I will go through even more!

Lol, Monkey, I can imagine the cashier bagging all of those lettuce heads… do they ask what the veggies are for?

LOl that’s cute!!!

As for veggies… with a human diet, you want as much real food to make up the diet and take a multivitamin to supplement the rest, right? Are pellets essentially the same? I think I feed Huckles way too many veggies, usually 2-3 leaves of collard greens, probably 1/2 cup of cilantro or parsley or both and sometimes a couple leaves of red lettuce. She has unlimited hay and maybe 1/2-3/4 cup pellets. This is her daily diet. She seems healthy. The vet says she is overweight but she doesnt bulge from her ribs to her hips, its like a straight line. Her dewlap is hardly more than a bump. Perhaps viewing her diet this way is naive, but she seems happy and healthy. Ive never had to deal with poopy butt either. I just feel like I would rather she get more hay and fresh food than processed pellets.

And that really bites that you are arguing with your dad about things. Thats stress you dont need! I hope things work out ok for you. If all else fails about the tv thing, Hulu and netflix are great and you can watch them both from your computer! Plus, netflix is cheap!!! 

I feed Kate and Spence betwen 4-5 cups of veggies a day (total, not each, lol) and they seem pretty happy with that and it seems to be maintaining their weight well. I vary it a little bit if I’m giving them veggies that have lower or higher than normal calories, but usually I give them three different things at a time to balance that out.
Once I was checking out all of my veggies at the local food co-op and the cashier said, “Wow, it looks like you’re making yourself a really nice salad!” And I replied, “Actually I’m making a couple of bunnies a really nice salad. But if I’m lucky, they might share.”
I spent a year living at home after I finished up my B.A. Sometimes it still surprises me that we all survived the experience, it can be pretty stressful and I’m not sure I’ve ever spent a year being more miserable, I don’t even think I was ever that miserable as a teenager! But just remind yourself that while things are pretty strained now, that you’ll be out soonish and everyone will forget the silly arguments and grievances.

I remember how much you missed Eddie when he passed away and your wanting a snuggle bun. How cool is it that Lolli has become a snuggle bun!

How’s the job going? I’m guessing it’s going pretty well!

I also don’t get why your dad would care if you pay for it. Good thing he’s on board now though!

I also feed a lot of lettuce, but then I have two. I would say one bun eats 2-3 heads of lettuce (the biggest ones I can find) plus a few bunches of parsley every week. I have those bowls shaped like lettuce and they split four overflowing bowls per day. So I don’t think you’re giving too much!
