Here’s Pippi, Mini and Snickers all managing to fit on one small kitten tree…
We had a branch come down on our power lines a couple nights ago, power company removed it last night and this morning I harvested all new perches from it for Dory’s cage and lots of foliage. Yet it looks like I haven’t taken anything from the branch there’s still so much more there. If only it was bunny safe, they could have a field day too.
I’m hoping she’ll use the lower perches, I didn’t really have any down there before so it was essentially wasted space, hoping she’ll use it.

Wow! I can’t wait until we move back west in two years so I can harvest awesome natural stuff for Chewie ![]()
Lol.
You could move “anywhere” other than where you are and you could harvest awesome natural stuff !!! ![]()

* cough cough * Ladies and Gentlem’a’n – I present to you “Moka” (who needs a name change….
)

Awe, Vienna, he’s just too beautiful! I suggest William because he’s orange.
BORIS !!!
VIENNA!
I APPROVE!
He’s so handsome! Stinkin’ cute, in fact! (And he matches your hair
)
His mug says Finn to me (Finnigan or Finley). ![]()
AA what a handsome bun!!!!
His ears are so floppy… adorable!!
I have no good names.
But I think Finn is a good one, Q8.
Chom says hi from a very chilly October where he’s bundled up with blankies….![]()

Awwww he looks quite settled in yr arms ![]()
Rutile, Ochre, Sienna.
Boris is good though, makes me think of Boris Becker if anyone remembers him, and there is undeniably a certain likeness.
Don’t we have a Finn already? One of those who got away, like Manny
Chom’s nose! Must kiss it!
Hi, Chom! *waves*
Nose rubs and smooches too. ![]()
Vienna!!!!!!!!!!!!! I found your picture, you sneaking girl!
Ro (short for Rowan). That’s his name. Just saying.
Thanks for the Chom-nose-kisses! ![]()
Vienna, he’s absolutely adorable, I’ve had some time to think up names now
He looks like a Bumble. Or a Benji??
LOL – thanks guys !!
William is out – nephew’s name
Boris – nice but too much like Johnson
Finn – not bad but not sure French would say it right….
He needs a manly name – or a man’s name…. Benji for me is a dog, bumble is too girly. As would be Caramel, Barley or Fudge.
Like all internet dating agencies, the photo is much better than in real life – although Zou is on the porky side, I feel that newbie is on the skinny side. I’ll try to take piccies…
We’ve had our first fight (impressive big giant fights! THANK god for the oven glove advice !!) but mefeels I was hoping for miracles…
I’ll set up a new thread…
– see y’all there
OMG he’s beautiful!![]()
That’s why Rowan is the perfect name. Masculine, regal.
This is turning into a naming thread lol!!! ?? not complaining though, don’t worry…
Huck? Huckfinn? Ben not Benji?
Umm… Where’s the new thread V? We want to see more pics of Finn.
Seriously, if you want a manly French name (pfff…) name him after one of the musketeers ![]()
Thread begun – beware photo spam of speed-date and beware name requests ! ![]()

Yes, that’s where I was going with Boris. Haha.

Breintje was a sad little bun this weekend: we were at a LARP and he was staying in my BFs house. A roommate took care of him for the weekend, and we’ll take him back to my place tomorrow when I’ve cleaned up all our LARP stuff.
We spoiled Breintje today with a large bundle of carrot tops, his absolute favourite!
Our humble offering:
Our offering was accepted:
And several minutes later we found that he had blessed my BFs beedsheets with his artistic vision:
In Dutch we have a saying called “stank voor dank”. Literally translated it means “stench for thanks” and it means “getting small thanks for your pains”. You’re welcome bunny… You have 10 toys and pieces of cardboard to chew on, but he always favours the things which are not allowed. *sigh*
Oh dearie me – on a lighter note, he’s got a new chew ‘toy’ for himself !!! Unless you”ve got lots of little iron-on patches of bunnies to put over the holes…. ![]()
Ellie, buns are so talented when it comes to interior decorating! I’m sure he’s been inspired by your embroidering and wanted to do sth just as lovely-looking. And he probably thinks he made a huge success of it =)
Haven’t posted in forever, but here’s zeke and the Doge http://imgur.com/a/mlImj
@Sarabelle – very cute together !! OMG is that a cable your bunny is sitting on ?!!!!
![]()
Yes he doesn’t chew on them at all. He’s never has, I have several dollars worth of cord protectors, I haven’t had to use them at all. I check the cords 3 times daily for nibble, not a one. I guess I got lucky?
(c)I have my laptop and other cords wrapped up for precaution, but the cord he is on, is normally pulled up on those little command hooks, where he can’t reach them, I just had it down to charge my phone. I haven’t had to use them.
@Ellie, those look like my bed sheets (thanks to Timbu). The other morning I was getting tired of him attempting to chew the sheets and kept prodding him off the bed. So he just decided he would start at them from underneath the bed. Im lying there listening to him doing something there. Look down and he’s pulled the sheet through the slats and proceeded to make confetti out of it.
sorry jersey …. rofl (can just imagine it !)
lol, Jersery, that’s too funny!
One of mine (haven’t figured out who yet) is getting into the carrier which I keep beside the cage, and pulling the curtains through the tiny gap and nibbling holes in it. Fortunately, I bought cheap curtains to replace the ones that were here when we moved in for this exact reason. However it’s interesting to me that they don’t show any interest in chewing the curtains otherwise, only when in the carrier and they can pull it through. Probably because they know they’re hidden in there too. ![]()
I just thought of the best name ever!!!! dont steal it… but it is: Rumplestiltskin!!! Rumple for short! cutest boy rabbit name ever
Hi, Olaf. (No, I didn’t get another bunny. That’s Snowball from “The Secret Life of Pets” back there.)

I found this at a local toy store. It’s only a few inches high, handmade in Germany. I could not resist.

That is adorable!!!
That figurine is ADORABLE! But Olaf is even more adorable of course
His markings always stun me, what a gorgeous bun!
Squeee!
That’s adorabun!
And Olaf… what a heartbreaker! ![]()
Olaf is so cute!!!
Patton was in a frisky mood tonight and it pays to have a camera at the ready for times like that. I’ve learned to be photo wary between 8pm and 11pm around the General. ![]()


Gods, those ears! I just want to bite him, he’s so cute. :
Patton!! What a cutie. Second pic looks like he’s diving into water.
Olaf, i just wanna say… MWAH!
Wow! Great photos Barrett!! He looks like he’s have a blast. ![]()
Patton is just gorgeous
I love that his nickname is the General
Is his full name General Patton, or just Patton? Calling him the General reminds me of General Woundwort in Watership Down.

Yes, his name is just Patton. General is just a nickname. I’m also fond of calling him ‘big guy’.
Awe, thanks everyone! Olaf really does break my heart with his handsome face. I think he knows it, too. :]
Patton looks like he loves to party!
Patton will be on Olaf’s invite list for the next Secret Life party.
Speaking of SLoP, I was thinking of taking my neices & nephew to see it the other day. (They’re on school holidays). I had watched the trailer online for the first time and laughed at it so much. I think I would have embarrassed them in the cinema with my outbursts.
They went and saw it at the Drive-In anyway. I’m still yet to see it.
The psycho bunny kills me ![]()
Thanks everyone! My wife sent me a pic this morning of Patton completely flopped out at home!![]()
I actually didn’t make it to SLoP either. It’s hard to love another movie in the wake of Zootopia…
Just. An. Inch. Higher and I might just get there… what do you mean there’s a top to this cage…? ![]()
Next job on list : make holes in litter tray to attach it ! ![]()

V, he is doing he perfect stance for you to check his bit. Or where his bit were.
What a good, cooperative boy!
LOL Jersey – I’ve tried that way – but actually you can’t see his bits that aren’t there anymore
It’s sort of the wrong angle.
It really has to be so he’s sitting up on his bum on my knees like a baby (human!) with his back legs splayed open in front of him like an uncouth street girl !!
![]()
Those feets again! ![]()
Hehe, you both have such lovely boys. Pattons ears are just awesome and I love Henry’s acrobatics ^_^
Patton is such a good-looking general!
And HRH Henry doesn’t have a bad angle to his body ![]()
I spent three hours vacuuming my house, making sure every last bit of fur, hair and dirt was off of the carpet.
I then spent five minutes brushing Yumi.
In hindsight, I feel like I may have wasted those three hours…

Not sure, but the right knee looks like its got a face on it – with a laughing smile on it – anyone else see it ? ![]()
It took me a few minutes, but I finally worked out what SLoP is
I haven’t managed to see it either.
Vienna, that photo of Henry is hilarious
I can see he’ll be inadvertently causing chaos wherever he goes.
Dface, maybe you should have brushed Yumi first, then vacuumed ![]()
I had to bribe Reese with a treat to get her to wear that hat
The only place the rabbit hair doesnt stick is on the rabbits … vacumming is just a losing battle.
Light fur on a dark carpet.
By the way, yes, that is a bunny wearing a witch hat and riding a broom shadow on the moon ha ha
Reese- and let me guess: you had 2 or 3 seconds to take that picture?
I finally got a picture of Patt flopped with my real camera today. He sure loves that upstairs bathroom on weekend mid days! ![]()


He has such an adorable baby-face!
Got some good pics recently of the bun (Pippins) and the cats (Martini and Tucker). Both cats are starting to become less and less afraid of her, but Tucker still won’t really let her come close enough to sniff him. Martini will tolerate being sniffed unless it’s anywhere near her back end!
Martini and Pippins:


Tucker and Pippins:

Here’s a picture I intended to take of just Pippins but Martini is photobombing in the background:

Cheers!
We have the same hutch:
And the same cat!:
Lol! She is always flopped out like your cat is, but not in this picture

Olly won’t pose for us, I hope this picture isn’t too scary for little ones, if it is I’ll understand if its removed.
Awwwww your kitty is so adorable. I love fluffy, floppy kitties =D Martini is a very sweet and floppy cat, I’m pretty sure she is related to a Ragdoll cat somewhere down the line. My other cat Tucker is more reserved and less domestic, but extremely sweet to the ones hes bonded with (like me luckily!)
Also I love the hutches we have, I think mine is a smaller version. I plan on upgrading or trying something different in the future because the wooden flooring and wooden legs have quite a bit of pee soaked into it. Mostly from my previous bunny but Pippins likes to pee on the wooden flooring right above the ramp as well as her litter box.
That jack o lantern is phenomenal, Charlie’s Angel. Is Olly a lop?

No, I not Lop, this is me in my’s big dog bed FULL of hay, my Mummy bought my bed from BIG pet shop.
Aw! Hi Olly !!
Hi, Olly! There you are. You are a very beautiful bunny!
A-HA! There you are Olly! You should pose more often! ![]()
Here’s some handsome to start your week ![]()
Ready to pounce on you!!!!!

Hard to believe this guy used to be a stray!
What is this position called? The frog?

Oh, Sterling. You handsome rogue! ![]()
Sterling! That position is called Beautiful.
LPT – Do you paint him white every week or something…..??
(I was going to ask if you put him in the washing machine every week, but that would just be silly and cruel !!)
![]()
Vienna- I know he is like glowing white! Poor Bindi looks even more yellow/green in comparison. Bindi is dirtier right now then I think I’ve ever seen him poor guy. I REALLY want to give him a bath. Sometimes I give him a little bum and foot bath but it’s gotten cold here so I don’t really want to do even that right now.
Hi everyone! Here’s Dobby! Only took me a week to take a picture that would successfully upload! 
What a cutie Doby is! Very poised.
Life lesson for rabbit owners number 4:
If the kids are going to leave pizza crusts on the table, remember to PUSH THE CHAIRS ALL THE WAY IN!
Otherwise you get….
THIS. ![]()


Oh he is TROUBLE in the making, Barrett. Lol. Too cute to scold though.
How cute is Dobby! I love his subtle harliquin pattern. Angelop, did you happen to edit your post? The pic was showing as code but it appears Barrett saw it at one point. The code is what we see when a photo is uploaded from a mobile device. So when the post is opened on a normal computer, it corrects and the picture shows. (Ive done this just now so your photo shows).
Im wondering if the reverse happened here. ie. You uploaded originally on a computer but then edited your post on a mobile device? Curious minds want to know! haha.
Well, the important thing is Dobby is visible to us all now!!
LPT, I reckon that pose is “you interrupted me about to eat some Cec’s” pose. Lol
Have you tried cornstarch dry bath on Bindi?
Hahah!
Oh, Patton…
And Dobby is adorable. ![]()
Hahaha! Todays regarding comic… The ears in the helmet. ![]()

Oh goodness, Dobby is gorgeous.
You wild one, Patton!
Dobby! That pic was worth waiting for.
Patton seems like a pretty resourceful guy =)
I loved David Bowie.

Just caught Patton on the coffee table. He’s an ATB (All Terrain Bunny)
3 comic strips to make you smile tonight (the only good thing that the English tabloid The Daily Mail is good for – that and the mind puzzles!)
Garfield I laughed at. I love him ! ![]()
The middle one, I smiled at. ![]()
The bottom one with the 2 women, I guffawed out loud at !! ![]()
Enjoy !

I don’t get it, what does it mean? (bottom one)
Naughty Patton! But yes, you do very quickly learn to leave chairs pushed in at all times when there are bunnies about!
Loving the comics. Reese, in the bottom one, her friend is a heart doctor, but cardiologist is similar to cardigan, an item of clothing, so her other friend thinks she makes cardigans for a living.

Here is my Little Prince Olly.
Mummy was taking pictures with her camera so I had to have mine taken
Looking gorgeous as always, Olly ![]()
Aww, Olly, what a cutie!! ![]()

A little more of me before bedtime.
I never actually realized how tiny he is until I managed this trickery last night XD

Awww Muchelle, these bunny hugs are the best
I do that a lot with Breintje as well, especially on the train he just jumps into my hands and wants to be held for the entire journey.
aww ç^ç cute Brentje. Mine does that only at the vet…
Kuro cuteness!
Muchelle, he IS tiny!!!
CA, Olly is such a cutie.
I can’t get over that pic of Patton on the table =)
I always thought he was a huge-ass…. see what I mean when I say I miss knowing people around me with buns ![]()
He is so tiny and beautiful, Muchelle!
Odette is growing. One week she looks pudgy, the next she looks thin. She’s like a bunny teenager.
Not a pic, but here is a short video of Princess Destructa and her nemesis, the Halloween basket.
Look beyond the gate and you’ll see she has already won battles against the baseboards and carpet. We have to fix those before the holidays. Good thing we love her so much!
Odette vs. Halloween Candy Basket
I obviously don’t appreciate how exhausting life as a rabbit can be, especially when you are sick ALL THE TIME WITH NO SIGN OF EVER ACTUALLY GETTING 100% BETTER(Ahem). Sampras has attempted to convey this to me in the form of a series of multiple dramatic flop poses. ![]()



Awwh. Sampras is a cuddler. That’s the sweetest.
Except for the house gremlins. No cuddles for them.
Princess Destructa and her nemesis
That basket must have done something to her when you werent looking!
Yumi is very like that with objects that have offended her in some unspeakable way. I would love to get a video of Sampras doing it, he only has one incisor tooth, and has only started picking things up with his mouth again, but it’s so clumsy ans disjointed.
Hahaha the house gremlins…!
No, they arent allowed in the room!
Hey everybody! I just caught the LUCKIEST picture I will probably ever get of my Patton or any other rabbit. Didn’t even know it until I was reviewing the pic.
Yes, my dear rabbit stuck his tongue out at me!![]()

Yay, Barrett! Tongue-out-Thursday!
How many pixels are you working with Barrett?
LOOOL
LOVE it! Well done, Patton, good on ya, mate! ![]()
Posted By Vienna Blue in France on 10/13/2016 3:34 AM
How many pixels are you working with Barrett?
3888 X 2592. I think one of the most amazing things was that it was so well in focus. I was standing by, getting pictures of him binkying. So I was ready but it wasn’t until after I took the pic that I realized what I had.
Great catch, Barrett!!!!
It’s so funny – it’s doesn’t even seem to be in ‘mid-lick’ !!
Silly Patton! It is the best feeling when you get a shot and don’t realize it until you scroll through the results.
For those interested in the marking changes that occur in Himalayan and Californian breeds/mixes, I present…

At least Patton does not look as derpy as THIS bunny when he sticks his tongue out! ![]()
LOL these tongue pics are hilarious. WHY ARE THEY EVEN STICKING THEIR TONGUE OUT?!
they were licking their lips and they look like they are sticking their tongues out if you take a pic at the right moment
PinknFwuffy-Love those booblesnoots. The last one looks like a bunny.
Reese: Awesome pics! So cute.
Nothing going on here. Just a couple of stuffies.

Nothing going on here. Just a couple of stuffies
For real LPT, I gotta know how you keep him so perfectly white. Even his paws look sparkly clean!.My boy is always getting filthy and he’s only partially white
Dface- Under his chin is green everything else is sparkly white.
Under his chin is green everything else is sparkly white
Thats still impressive! Yumi once groomed Sampras after/during eating a strawberry, and really managed to transfer a lot of colour . His face looked atrocious for DAYS..
I love the little ring around his sparkly white mouth and nose LPT
Awaiting a reaction now from the company where I applied three weeks ago. They hadn’t sent me anything in response, so I had to phone them and ask for an update. (Shivers, I’m really phobic about phonecalls with strangers, especially important ones like this.) The receptionist was quite curt over the phone and tried to cut the conversation off. She said: “Ah yes, I’ve seen something on the mail about that, I’ll send it to you today. Goodbye.” Yikes, that total lack of enthousiasm already sounds like there will be a rejection. It would surprise me if it was otherwise. Nothing to do but wait now…
Breintje picked up my mood again splendidly, and I’ve been cuddled and nudged all morning. Nothing to lift your spirit like a cup of tea with your bun, so I brewed him a cup of hay-tea, and I had a nice relaxing herbal tea for myself. Very nice mix: chamomile, spearmint, lemongrass, hawthorn, tilia flowers, orange blossoms and valerian.
So here’s Breintje with his cup. He immediately started drinking it, and did a little happy dance afterwards. Then he proceeded to lick my face until I was covered in bunny spit and sweet-smelling hay-tea. Hehe, you silly little bun, you always pick me up ![]()
Woah! Hay tea? Do you just pour hot water over hay and let it cool for your bun? I might try that!
I really wish Reese could be a free range bun. In 5 years when I get my own house, I’m going to make sure Reese has the best life.
Posted By ReeseBun on 10/14/2016 5:25 AM
Woah! Hay tea? Do you just pour hot water over hay and let it cool for your bun? I might try that!
Yup, that’s basically the recipe! Pour boiling water over a handful of hay in a large mug, let it brew and cool down to at least luke-warm temperature. Then drain the fluid into a water crock and serve to your happy bun. Make sure it’s cooled down properly, so an enthousiastic bun doesn’t burn its mouth. They absolutely adore the smell, and Breintje knows what will be coming as soon as he smells the tea brewing. Nose up in the air, periscoping *sniff sniff sniff*.
You can also use hay tea to syringe-feed to a bun who refuses to drink because of a health issue. The water has some minerals and nutritional elements from the hay. Not much, but every bit helps.

Henry looks desperately and frantically out from behind the (open!) cage bars hoping for some FOOD (NOW!!) and oblivious to his two front feet being knee-high in his water bowl….. ![]()

Aww Vienna, he must be so cute!!!
bam – errr, I know your English is quite basic (
) but I think the word you were looking for is not “cute” but “stoopid” ! ![]()
*Sigh* Indeed, as expected: it was a rejection letter. Filled with spelling/grammar errors and with the wrong name above it. It’s not as if my e-mail address is a combination of first name and second name… Sloppy, very sloppy. Well, on to the next company.
Booo… sorry, Ellie.
But it’s their loss.
Sorry Ellie
You should make a copy of sloppy return letter – write in red pen where all the errors are and what they should be – send it to the big person in charge and write something simple like “is THIS the image you want you company to have – hire me !” !!
You’ve got nothing to lose…. ![]()
Teehee, what a wickedly lovely idea Vienna!
It’s just that I’d never apply for a receptionist/PR-person/marketing job. I prefer to lurk in chemistry/physics labs, hidden somewhere deep in the building, with not too much interaction with people. Filthy humansessss….
Seriously though, social skills are overrated. Be proud, geek out!
Sorry about that Ellie…
the hay tea sounds like a wonderful idea though, will definitely have to try that.
It was Pumpkin Picking Day in our household last weekend, and I found this Meketaten sized pumpkin! She was much less curious about it than I wanted for a photoshoot, lol. I can’t help it, she’s has the most perfect fur for Halloween spooktacular photos!


And beautiful/spooky eye color! I love that eye color on buns, they are like mythical beast bunnies
Sorry about the double textbox
Great All Hallows Eve subject! ![]()
All I had handy was my iPad and Chewie was far away so apologies about the crappy resolution, but I just had to share his grumpy moulting bunny face. ![]()
Awww, he looks like he’s having a bad case of the mornings… Still cute and cuddly though ^_^
Crappy resolution but the mood still comes shining through…..ha ha !! Although he’s prob peed off about the fragile explosion this morning… ![]()
Fluffy little curmudgeon… ![]()
I survived a vicious attack on my stroopwafel today ![]()
The aftermath: yes, those are crumbs all over Breintje, me, the couch and the carpet. The little mischief maker, now look at what Bas will have to clean up tonight… ![]()
He’s so darn cute!!
p.s. I have stroopwafel envy.
p.p.s I syringe fed Podge some hay tea today. He like it.
Thumbs up from us, Ellie!

Hehe, so had Breintje. He just couldn’t let it pass that I was eating this tasty treat all by my self. He jumped on the couch and completely tore up the thing until crumbs were flying everywhere. Then he dived under my arm to lick some crumbs off my pants, and got crumbs all over his head and back.
Oh, that’s great news! Hay tea is advised by most Dutch vets for buns who are dehydrated, post-operation recovery or in case of diarrhea. It’s the equivalent of ORS solution for humans.
I hope he’ll start to drink it by himself soon. Healing vibes for Podge!

Sorry for my late reply!! Things get buried quick around here. Actually, I think Reese looks more natural than Patton! He seems to just be expressing himself. Patton was just.. POKE! ![]()
Just stopping by to drop a random bunicorn pic + his bald patch near the runny eye has healed! yay ^3^

Thank you, Jersey! I love watching his nose change with the seasons. I should start taking a picture once a month. Those were a culmination of his over the past year.
Eee! A raspberry bunicorn, no less. Rare. Very rare.

So did you teach him to wait for the command then flip it off and eat it??? ![]()
Patton’s flops are becoming more frequent! ![]()

Kuro!
You made me snort. Painful with this awful head/chest cold I can’t seem to shake
I *heard* that raspberry bunicorns aren’t that rare, but people often mistake them for regular bunnies as they have a tendency to eat their own raspbihorns. So its actually spotting them with horns intact that is rare.
Muchelle is pretty lucky to have her very own though! So cute!!
Barrett, no bun flops like a lop. They’re the Masters. ![]()
I didn’t teach him the trick, he taught himself cause he’s a little rebel XD He stays still for a while, trying to understand what’s going on on his head and then shakes it off, is surprised (omg stuff falling from nowhere!!) and eats it ![]()
A raspbunnycorn! Stealing him! Also stealing Patton. His coloring is just beautiful.
I know I often write I want to pet/touch stuff, but I REALLY would like to touch Patton’s ears T_T
Breintje, you have a stroopwafel!
We are sanding and painting the baseboards and cleaning the carpets (just vinegar and water in the Bissell– completely pet safe). I put Odette in her xpen in the bedroom.
So Miss Thing is MAD. She didn’t know the xpen that we’d been using to cover the fireplace did this:
I also cleaned out the fireplace today. This is Cinderella before I cleaned, obviously ![]()
Once the carpet and baseboards dry, she can have back out. We are covering most of the living room in cubes. Long day ahead,
Hey Odette – how funny – I’ve just spent an hour with a friend making my living room look just like your photo !!!
I have got 2 cages, one each end (put on sideways rather than longways as you have) and Zou will have to go in one tomorrow whilst workmen are here – she will NOT be happy. Thankfully it’s only one day. (I hope). I will let them out alternately. Does Odette not want to jump over yours?
I found Henry ON TOP of the cage just now! I can’t believe he didn’t hurt himself !! Needless to say, then xepn was made smaller so than one of the grids could be put on the top of the cage !!
New game – spot the 4 rabbits in my kitchen !! 2 new friends !!!

I didn’t think about sideways! You’re brilliant, Vienna.
Odette hasn’t tried to jump, no. But she has a bit of a limp from a hind foot injury when she was a baby, so she doesn’t really jump high.
Zou and Henry, I like your new bunny friends ![]()

It makes more space for bun and it takes up less room in the room – if that makes sense…. LOL
![]()
That picture of Odette in the fire place is amazingly cute!!
I’ve been out the last few days with an awful cold(It could actually be man flu), Yumi has been my self heating teddy bear for the most part and almost the perfect little companion to nurse me back to health.
Except in the morning time(or when she wants something) when she leaps dramatically onto my face to wake me up.

She also has started to use my hands like a head rest.

Squeee! Too much cuteness at once!
Vienna: vive IKEA!
Odette is the best Cinderella EVER ![]()
Size difference doesn’t come across well in pictures usually, so I can’t get over the uncanny similarities between Odette and Patton! ![]()
Odette I just love that fox and owl print fleece! It’s gorgeous

Awwww, you all have beautiful and charming bunnies
I love all their little quirks!
Barrett – here is a link to a french site I discovered last night – there are lots of Odettes and Pattons on this page, photos taken to understand rabbits language….
Even if you don’t understand the text, the likeness is quite uncanny. (but then they’re purebreeds, so it’s like looking at 5 Bichons or 5 Dolphins…. lol)

It’s a lovely site, Vienna! Did you learn French by living and working in France or did you speak French before that?
No, learnt everything here – au pair first, learning “weewee” “poopoo potty” “nightienight” with the kids – things like that… and a serious of life choices / meetings led me to be here a good few years later…
Yes, it does seem like a nice bunny site – seems the founder of it & set up bunny rescue and has written books about house rabibts but had problems with the overpowering egotistical committee of the resuce and so she resigned and is now only linked to the website.
I’m just reading up on bonding and she advises against ‘stress bonding’ or car journeys….
That’s so clever of you! I was an au pair too, back in the early neolithic age. I more or less only learnt to say doucement. But I can read a little bit.
LOL – the word ‘”doucement” makes me think of Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies when she is pretending to dance around a bed post and Arnie has got the tape recorder (TAPE recorder? What IS that? lol)
I am quite proud of the level I am at now, but it’s still SO frustrating not being able to find the right words or describing something in detail.
Which happens every day ! But then that happens in English too !
Well your level of English (and Ellie and other non-anglophones I’ve forgotten about, sorry) puts us to shame really….
Q8 – nothing Ikea gets past you !!! LOL
Tthey are also not the small sitting up “rabbits” (what rabbit sits up !?) but I chose the hares instead looking more realistic…
![]()
Vienna, the person designing those buns must’ve actually studied buns. The feet! Maybe it was the sitting up rabbits that made Bam and Yohio decide they did NOT want to be bonded. “What rabbit sits up like that? Just forget it, I’m not playing.”
English is a million times easier than French because English is everywhere.
Chewie had one of those hares… he booped it with his nose a few times and then studiously ignored it for a year. It was eventually adopted by one of my foster buns.
French is hard because until American culture started really infusing it with pop anglicisms, it was a language largely unchanged since the 16th century when its grammar was first officially documented (a dictionary too!).
Umm… right. I must be sicker than I thought. I just burst into happy tears at the end of David Copperfield. ![]()

Merci beaucoup! Funny but when I used Google to find chestnut French Lops (before Patton came home), I couldn’t find much. They were all on that page! ![]()
Back to pics on the pics thread, oops….
So beware – bunny porn – top-to-tail bunny banana…. (does that even exist? LOL It’s just exceedingly confusing on all levels!!!)

To be fair – today he was squished in a mid-size cage with his big litter tray (Zou had the big cage!)
So, when the workmen left I rearranged the kitchen with barriers to stop Kanga-Henry who today has discovered he can jump up onto the top of the cage !!
(ouch!) and several times…..
So I created the perfect barrier…. or so I thought! As I turned my back I heard the familiar noise of a cage rattle….
As if butter wouldn’t melt !!! Needless to say I have NOW made perfect Henryproofing…. (until he works that out as well !!
)

Another one coz he’s so cute…
(when he’s not playing Spideman!) – he’s obviously got a foot (paw) fetish ! ![]()

Awww henry <3
“Awww Henry” my eye !!!! lol – Where’s Andi with Henry who laughed when I named him Henry… She laughed and scooted off !
I’m beginning to learn why….
Odette made me into a liar, Vienna. She did jump out of that pen. Henry, you look so beautiful and healthy after your neuter scare. Must be all that yummy food
Great link, by the way, Vienna.
Barrett, I’ll try to get a measurement on Odette. She’s definitely not that long, but they do have similar body shapes and markings. Patton has those long, beautiful ears though. I think Odette is a little darker. What’s odd is Patton and Odette’s baby photos didn’t look a ton alike. I brought Odette home at 12 weeks, but I have photos of her brother at 5 weeks.
Azerane, I love that fleece print too. They have such cute stuff out.
Dface, I hope you feel better and have access to a good, hearty soup.
Vienna, Odette I hate to break it to you, but once my boy learned to cage climb and jump out of an enclosure, no matter what I did, he never stopped…infact he taught Yumi to do it too!
Here he is, free roam of the room, free access back into the pen , but nope, gonna sit up here.

Oh, Sampras! That nice, big house and you sit on the roof!
Odette seems impressed with her new skill. I’m in trouble, for sure.
Barrett, Odette is 17″ from head to end of tail. She had her feet under her, so that’s as good as I could get. That’s longer than I expect for a mini lop. She seems to be still growing, though she is six months old this week.
Yeah French Lops may not be the most active of breeds, but they DO know how to jump! I remember the day I learned to keep the chairs pushed in at the kids table. ![]()
Henry! Jump over to my house so I can kiss your booplesnoot! ![]()
Ahh yes but Sampras knows that things look more exciting from up higher !!!!
Henry is driving me banaaaaaaanas. I think I’ll have to send him back….
(What a difference a wink would make to the above sentence!!)
![]()
Henry WISHES he were driving you bananners. Did someone say… banana? ![]()
I was skyping with my parents and this little goofball just flopped on me. So ridiculous ![]()

Those are the best kinds of flops!
The pumpkins are just a little too much temptation for Odette tonight.
Love it! So cute. I’m determined to capture a picture of Silas’s “dead bunny” flop, but so far it’s gone by the time I grab a camera.
Anybody else have a hair tie and glittery object collecting bunny? This just happened a minute ago. Last year for Christmas my brother intentionally packing my kids gifts in shiny confetti. Very happy bunny! BTW, I promise you, he doesn’t eat any of it although we usually don’t let him keep it for long because it makes me too nervous. Sometimes he brings it to me in a pile at my feet (heart swoon) but most of the time he just puts stands of found ribbons or hair ties in a corner of his tray or his litterbox. This has made for some interesting garden finds after his litterbox is dumped in the compost.

This picture is also exhibit A of how much of a non-chewing/not-attracted-to-cords bunny I lucked out with. Makes me look like a horrible bunny proofer though!
Silas and his hair tie is too adorable.
Odette – that profile picture is TOO CUTE! How can Odette pose like that… my rabbits would never sit still long enough for a good Halloween picture.
Thank you– she is a sweetheart. I just kept taking photos. I took maybe twenty and found one where she looked like she was behaving! She wasn’t, of course!
Chelsea- I love Silas’s name! And a hair tie collection!our bunny Hazel collects things in the closet of my art room (where she lives) I have found clothes, paper, fur, some figurines, clothes patterns, a shoe…..all in one big nest. I’m torn between whether is should clean it up or let her have it…she’s worked so hard and all lol. ![]()
Gina had to have four foot high barriers to keep her in, anything less she could jump on/over! She may be around half Henry’s size, but she would have been out of that set up in a flash, the cage and table make nicely positioned bunny steps…
It’s not the jumping, its the constant, constant looking for food, moving around, restlessness, searching. All. The. Time.
It’s starting to worry me. ![]()
Love Odette with the pumpkins. Rabbit plus pumpkins = magic.
Chelsea and BrunosMama that’s fascinating behavior!
Here’s a pic of a dishevelled and sleepy Alfred. His ear is bald because that is where the vet put the cannula when he was desexed.

I currently have one pumpkin and one rabbit, but the rabbit is non-compliant. So you just have to imagine Bam with a beautiful Hokkaido pumpkin.
Albert looks like he has a thing or two to say to that vet.
I’ve been looking at “Regarding the secret life of rabbits” comics and wanted to share this one:

Poor baby bunny!!!! LOL
The barriers are 3ft 6in high.
Since the photos I have now put the barriers in front of his cage and moved the cardboard box, so no more stepping stones !
However he’s just thrown himself against the barriers with paws inbetween the grids. Its like he’s playing the game where a human wears a velcro suit and trampolines up against a huge velcro target. it’s sort of funny, but I am genuinely worried he’s going to hurt himself. He runs so fast towards me right into the barriers.
I wonder if he’s got a sight problem too…. (not when I’ve got food in my hands though!).
He’s so so so hungry when I come towards him that he literally slides and falls off his shelf…. or jumps so hard he flies into the cage door which is open.
Alfred’s Minion– thank you! Alfred is such a sweet, sleepy boy. His little face is beautiful.
Bam, I googled Hokkaido pumpkins. Those look tasty. I haven’t seen them here.
Vienna, Henry was tested for parasites, right? It may be that he is just eating as much as possible because he didn’t have such a bounty at his rescue location. If so, that should level out. The pain killers after surgery make them eat a lot too sometimes.
Henry should get a dewormer BUT he could also be just like his auntie: always hungry. ![]()

Hmmm nice idea but…. the painkillers stopped 48hrs after the op, so, 10 days ago now ![]()
Althooooough… he is still on antibiotics – Xeden Enrofloxacin. (But the breeder says he was a guzzleguts before the op, so it’s maybe just how he is).
I asked the head vet about deworming him (still not done) and he said all in good time – ie, let him recover from neuter first and let his haematoma dissolve down and go away. Fair enough.
I’ve brought home a willow branch, half each, though i’m not giving him too much after it was suggested too much could send them a bit bananas. And hoo-ra life is quiet for a short while, he is chomping away at that…. ahhhhhhh bliiiiss ![]()
I’m going to say this again (for probably the 10th time, hehe
) that Chom and Odette could totally be twins, I can’t get over it!!
I took a quick picture of Chomondeley today. You can kind of see the shedding pattern here… there’s gray fur all around the house![]()

Aww….Chom is so cute!
And those Regarding comics are really funny, Reese! I follow them on Instagram, most make me smile a lot.
I scrolled down and thought “I don’t remember posting a closeup of Odette today.”
Chomondeley has the prettiest face. They could be twins!
Cinnybun, my bridge bunny, Manon, looked a little bit like your bridge bunny, Cinnamon, too. Manon had aeroplane ears, though, and I think she was bigger than Cinnamon.
Here’s a picture of Mr Theodore looking like he is super hard done by in his own bunny prison. What makes this picture super duper cute is the fact that his door is open right beside him
. People will start to think I’m bad to him ![]()

That booplesnoot! ![]()
Theo, Chester does the exact same thing! He’s free roam, he can leave his cage whenever he wants ![]()
I see a new “reality TV” series brewing: Buns Behind Bars ![]()
Bam will co-star in that show, Q8! He has a cage at my mother’s, it’s always open, but Bam still climbs up on the bars with his fore-feet and looks like saddest little prisoner in this world. And he’s always rewarded with a treat, of course.

Pippi, and Gina both do this when they are on the outside, including biting at the bars??? Explain that one
Probably offended that the bars have the nerve to take up space and be in their way ![]()
Hi Theo !! *wave* – how’s Mr Theo’s diet & tummy going recently?
Reesebun, I’ve been following it again for the past month. She has bunny behavior down perfectly!
Vienna, so nice of you to check up on Theo’s tum
Things have been okay of late – although we had a small blip last weekend where he wouldn’t eat all day again ? but simethicone, belly rubs, critical care and at night time he slowly started to nibble again. Took him a few days to get back to normal eating and pooping. I’m resigned to the fact that this is going to happen every few weeks are so. Thankfully it has never been as bad as the first time when he was in full stasis!
I so wish I had never let him go to that bunny boarder while we were on honeymoon – but how were we to know!

Wow, they do look very alike!! Was she a French Lop? I think Cinnamon was either a Holland or Mini Lop. Manon is very cute
I think she must have been part French Lop. She was 11 lbs!
Not one of my pics, but I just couldn’t keep this one to myself: http://9gag.com/gag/aYKNbWv
Look how utterly adorable!
Got back from camping today so here’s a couple pics. I’ll post some more tomorrow when I’m less tired and have more patience for photo editing. Expect more birds and some reptiles ![]()
This was taken last night, western horizon about 2 hours after sunset. My second serious attempt at star photography, it’s very challenging but I just love the result.

Then this stunning bird. Scarlet-chested Parrot. One of the rarest bird species in my state and a privilege to see. I had good directions to their location and had to sit and wait for an hour and ten minutes before I saw the female for about 10 seconds
10 minutes later this male flew in and perched nicely for 30-45 minutes. If you hadn’t guessed, I’m a bit of a bird nerd.

Aww… ![]()
I have some star pics I took on my beach in Malawi – the sky is the most incredible shade of indigo… just magical, isn’t it that we can capture so much beauty (birdie too… and buns goes without saying)
Your starscape photo is breathtaking, Azerane. As is the parrot. His colors are so striking. Well worth the wait!
I’m so jealous – I need to travel more ![]()
Those pix are awesome, Azerane! The parrot looks like it’s a creature of imagination. That’s so cool, that you have birds like that in Aussie.
Beautiful pics Azerane! Can’t wait to see more
I need to get a new DSLR. Mine is still standing after many boat trips, but it’s from 2004!
Here is jenny, doing a plaintive “I’m locked behind bars” look (With Podge photo bombing)
And the “Ok, so I knew I was on the outside really
” look straight after…
Luna. You will when you work more and get rich, as you should be ! (ref a prev post…. Lol)
bam. It so does. It looks like a coloring page drawing where a kid has drawn any old bright colours together, totally not natural !!!! But surprise, it is !!! : D
Thanks guys. Yes they are a stunning bird. It’s amazing the amount of colour in birds when you really start to look at the different species.
@BubblesJo, yes my DSLR has served me well. I have a good lens, but my body is an older entry level 2010 model. It needs an upgrade desperately but I just can’t afford it. It has served me very well though.
Poor Jenny, locked away… such a sad life for a bunn ![]()
Some more pics from the trip. I was looking for a habitat pic but I’m afraid I didn’t take any, just lots of wildlife ![]()
Here’s the female Scarlet-chested Parrot.

A yellow-plumed honeyeater. One of the most abundant birds in the area at the moment.

We saw I think four different species of dragon, this one is a Mallee Military Dragon

The very well known Central Bearded Dragon. There was actually one that hung around our campsite every day as well. We saw about 5 of these.

We found a Beaded Gecko while spotlighting

And some more birds
Horsfield’s Bronze-cuckoo

And a male Splendid Fairywren, just gorgeous
Snapped this one right near our tent. Realised I’ve labelled the file wrong, oh well.

Those are some really spectacular pictures Azerane!!
I’m always mad jealous of the amount of diverse species you guys have !
Wow! Azerane! Impressive pics! Such beautiful birds…..so colourful. None of them are gonna try to kill me if I visit there, though, right?
Jenny is too cute. ![]()
Azerane: Those are stunning pictures! Well done.
Such beautiful birdies!
Jenny looks great, even behind bars! ![]()
Poor Lily doesn’t “get” windows.
“I’m locked behind bars”
My pair decided to do that too. They’s institutionalized buns now.

Sampras has found his new favourite seat. Food and comfy..Yumi is looking at me like “…and you wonder why I get cross at him…LOOK at this,”

Dface: Is that a bottle of vodka with the buns?
LOL
Thanks everyone. I just love the diversity in wildlife and finding different species to identify
@LPT, no, they’re not going to try to kill you
We actually only saw one snake the whole time we were there, and that was while driving. Those you definitely have to watch out for.
@Hazel, that’s such a funny and sad picture at the same time, lol. He’s so big now, and I’m afraid I’ve blanked on his name! Must see more pics of him though
Dface, bunnies sit in the weirdest places sometimes ![]()
Psst Az, It’s Mosby
Beautiful photos! I can’t imagine the gems you’d come away with on a longer camping trip. That fairywrren is adorable. Are they very common?
Hazel, awesome capture and caption. Has me giggling!
Posted By Q8bunny on 10/21/2016 11:22 PM
Dface: Is that a bottle of vodka with the buns?LOL
They be like: ” Had too much to drink, went crazy with the Binks. Never did we think we’d get locked up in The Clink! ” ![]()
Thanks for the name reminder, I was thinking Max but knew it was wrong. At least I was on the right track with “M”
Thanks so much. Hubby suggested we stay an extra night while there but out of phone range we had no way to contact our friend feeding the pets. Regarding the fairywren, tough question. I’ll say yes, common in suitable habitat
We saw a number of them while we were there, they live in family groups as well so where there’s one, there’s more, although the females and younger males only have a blue tail and not the full blue body.
Az – stunning photos – what zoom is on that lens – is it a 2 foot long paparazzi lens? Are you close or not really?
Hazel – brilliant !! Actually tickled me and I laughed out loud! That photo needs a really good meme catchphrase on it !!
![]()

Haha very good Jersey!
And yeah Q8, it is. I cant leave it in the kitchen cause my housemates nick it. And Sampras rolls it around on the ground sometimes -think he likes the cool of the glass. We have to keep wine bottles(And wine in general) away from him though. He’s obsessed with the stuff.
Posted By Vienna Blue in France on 10/22/2016 4:47 AM
Az – stunning photos – what zoom is on that lens – is it a 2 foot long paparazzi lens? Are you close or not really?
I second that question! What lens are you using? I have a 70-300 lens I use for nature photos, but the f isn’t the best for birds. Big ass marine mammals tough, it works pretty well for those ![]()
I doublechecked on my camera. It’s from 2006, a Canon EOS 400D (Rebel XTi is North America). A solid ten years with me, and still going ![]()
Haha, my main lens is a 100-400mm. For some photos I’m quite close, for others like the Scarlet-chested Parrot, I’m not. I’ve just cropped the images after to the desired composition
Even if close, considering how tiny some of the birds are they still don’t always fill as much of the frame as I’d like. Here’s a parrot and fairywren image before being cropped. I was probably 4x as close to the wren than the parrot, but the parrot is probably 4x bigger than the wren
Had to keep distance from the parrots because it was a known nest site.


Haha ! Yes good ole cropping ! Well that make sense then…. ![]()
Halp, skeletons are trying to kidnap my lord! Call the Ghostbusters (original version only plz)!

LOL – I thought it was new dreads !!
Oooooo, I’m scaaared. ![]()
Beautiful pics Azerane! See, not everything in Australia is trying to kill you
Lol Muchelle, I thought about “the white hand of Saruman!”. Is your bun ready to unleash havoc upon the world?
if it can be chewed or humped, he’ll be right on it!
Posted By Muchelle on 10/23/2016 1:22 PM

Sterling enjoying the Fall foliage.

The stare down…..Sterling is not so sure about this orange thing….same colour as a carrot but it’s fuzzy and you can’t eat it….

Looks like Sterling is DARING kitty to come near his litter. He he.
Beautiful photos, Azerane. If I lived somewhere where the biggest birds weren’t mosquitoes, I might go camping. Though, I think Louisiana does have a large variety of birds. Our tourism spots will often include birdwatching and all the offices here have an Audubon print. Google tells me 100 million migratory, nesting, and wintering birds in Louisiana. You need to come visit!
Does Sterling not try to break through the fence and go running into the distance ? It looks very tempting….
The pumpkins didn’t deter Cinderella from finding her fireplace again.
Squee inducing buns
Fall pics done like pros
Hear, hear! Awesome buns being awesome ![]()
Awwww, don’t I just have the cutest fluffiest nurse around? I’ve been having major shoulder pain lately, especially in the tender area right underneath the armpit. There was so much tension there that even the intercostal muscles (between the ribs) were acting up. That caused some problems with breathing, because you subconsciously breathe differently if it hurts. So, rough morning at the fysio today. The tension is gone, but I feel like a sqeezed and bruised tomato. My back was red as well. I was so lucky that a friend of mine wanted to drive me to the fysio and back, so I wouldn’t have to take the bus whilst under the influence of my meds.
Back home Breintje immediately checked up on me as soon as I settled on the couch. I’m so blessed with his love and care ![]()
Just see that look and that posture. He’s really asking me: “You okay?”
Let’s see if this makes you smile? *Lick* Aww look at his tiny pink tongue. *Squee!*
Oh, and I officially declare it cuddle-time!
Nawww Ellie what a cutiee!!
Also hope your feeling better soon! My friend was a physio and her mantra was “If you arent in agony the day after Ive dealt with you, I havent done my job”
You are such a kindhearted bunny, Breintje.
He takes good care of you, Ellie. I hope the pain and muscle tension ease soon.
Ahhh Ellie, they’re cute pics !! ![]()
I would so so SO have loved getting this in focus – but popcorning happens so fast…. ![]()
Oh oh, I see me setting up the tripod later on a fixed focus and very fast speed !! (If I can work out which ones…..!) ![]()

Thank you all for you kind words
It’s true indeed: the more pain, the more effective the treatment was. Luckily my little fluff keeps me company ^_^
Ellie: Your tiny nurse is precious!
I hope you feel better soon. *hug*
Vienna: A. Ma. Zing. Henry is a popcorn machine. Mmm… popcorn… ![]()
VB, even out of focus, that pic cracked me up!
Feel better soon Ellie! Your nurse is one in a million. That face! ![]()
I suppose the out of focus gives it some movement to it !! LOL
So I set up tripod, rabbit level…. 5 aching mins squatted down with finger on the shutter… not one popcorn.
Went to sit down 2 foot away “POP POP POP” !!!
Reminded me of the Kit-kat advert years ago (for you Brits)… ![]()
I’d just be taking video and grabbing still shots off that.
I’m too impatient.
Oooooo hadn’t thought of that!!!!! d’Oh !!! Even if it is cheating….. ![]()
Is popcorning a small jump or binky or something?
I thought piggies popcorned and bunnies binkied? but basically the same thing.,…
Well the way i see it, popcorning is from a stationary position. Literally, bun will be sniffing a piece of carpet and without them realising find themselves a foot up in the air!! ![]()
Odette does that. I call it her harrier jump because she jumps straight up like a harrier jet.
She always looks a bit surprised at herself when she does it.
Though I’ve never caught this on film. I’m impressed that you caught Henry.
Haha, what a fun pic of HRH Henry ![]()
Fresh forage in Dory’s cage ![]()

Chewie does it frequently during morning playtime.
We’ll chase each other on the rug, we’ll have a standoff, he’ll growl and lunge, I’ll touch his booplesnoot, and SWOOOSH he’ll be straight up like a crunchy snack. ![]()
Chewie sporting little gray trousers. ![]()
Vienna- I call that a “popcorn” too. Bindi is famous for those. And I love the “Twisty Binky” ![]()

Im pretty sure I started using the term for rabbits after learning that piggies popcorned.
I think you may have too – but I think it’s a brill term, who ever thought it up… ![]()
Oh no! I wasn’t taking credit!
Popcorning just sounds so darn cute we all gotta love it!! ![]()
My very strict “no rabbits on the bed” rule being adhered to as always. ![]()

I guess this is his spot now

Awwh, Yumi and Sampras look so cute and comfy.
Dface: your post made me snort my latte ![]()
Dface, Imma steal your blankie! ![]()
No rabbits on the bed……lol….as if…..
I posted a pic of Sterling on one of my FB groups and someone made this. I think it’s perfect. ![]()

LPT: You made me snort and I scared Chewie.
In general the rule is no rabbits cause Yumi chews the upholstry , and Sampras tries to check in my mouth to see if that’s where I hide the treats if Im leanign back.
LPT -Oh my god his EARSSS ! <3
He’s the George Clooney of Bunworld !! ![]()
What kind of rabbits are those Dface? I think they are adorable
X marks the bunny! ![]()
Reesebun- Sampras(grey and white) mom was a lionhead and his dad was a mongrel “standard”(fairly sizable) rabbit. We dont know why he stayed so small though, his parents were both big buns
Yumi is a lionheadxAngorra, so Im told, but I never saw her parents so I dont know for sure!(She’s too small for me to believe she has a true angorra cross in her)
So my bunnies are mongrels!
Barret- Could he look less concerend about you standing over him with a camera

@Hazel, that’s such a funny and sad picture at the same time, lol. He’s so big now, and I’m afraid I’ve blanked on his name! Must see more pics of him though![]()
Here you go ![]()
He’s getting big, he weighs just about 12 lbs now. Although he might be a pound lighter once he gets neutered…
Oscar is not at all impressed by his size.
Azerane: Dory must be enjoying all that forage! Are her feathers growing in better now?
LPT: That’s awesome! I bet he really does spend a lot of time looking in the mirror. ![]()
Vienna: Great pic, he must be so happy with you!

Patton does have a lot more blonde in his fauxhawk than Odette.
Is the Baytril helping Luna?
I’m not sure because she just started it last night, but she was taking smz/tmp for 12 days before that and her nose looks the same as day 1, except the sticky fur under her nose catching the discharge is not as sticky/thick as it was I guess. Thanks for asking.
She’s getting use to the banana flavor – I didn’t know it also came in apple or peanut flavor (Luna’s favorites!)
I had a breakthrough with Dory today ![]()
Since we got her we have tried giving her showers, since not only is it important for birds but helps with new feather growth. I also wanted her to enjoy it because she gets food stuck to her face and I’ve no way of removing it once it’s stuck in her feathers. However, she has always hated it, however we have tried. I would try with slightly warm water from a spray bottle, spraying it above her and letting it fall on her, and also outside with the hose gently on the mist setting. A few days ago I brought her outside in the sun and misted her for a little bit with the hose, she didn’t seem to hate it for a change, but she didn’t seem to enjoy it either. Today is another beautiful day so I thought I would try again. Almost as soon as I started misting her she got completely into it. Fanning her tail, bobbing her head, fanning her wings and turning around in the water to get wet all over. It was so cute to watch ![]()
So here’s a couple of pics of her. The first is right after I finished misting her and she looks like a drowned rat ![]()

And here she is after, mostly dried. Her face is beautiful and clean now, without food trapped in the feathers around her beak like it has been for several months now. Now she’s just perched in the sun, chatting away ![]()

I’m with Luna…Banana is not my favorite. Peanut Butter, ftw. Hopefully you’ll see more breakup in the discharge with the Baytril.
Azerane, Dory is magestic.
Congrats Az! I’m always happy to hear when someone’s perseverance with a pet pays off!
Azerane, that’s just lovely! I had no idea you were to mist birds, but it makes sense of course, wild birds seem to love bathing and it’s really is so cute to watch. She is so beautiful.
Azerane – drowned rat? More like a drowned chicken! But her after-pic is gorgeous ![]()
Some Patton humor for your Thursday morning, though it helps a lot if you’ve seen Raiders Of The Lost Ark. ![]()

@Luna – how funny – not only do you get the members’ genders mixed up… but also you’re mixing the buns up… NOT to one bun’s Dad’s approval !!
Odette = girl bun girl hoomin
Barrett – boy bun boy hoomin.
For once it’s easy !! ![]()

In my defense, they are twins (possibly triplets), and I was multi-tasking when I was looking at the post. ![]()
![]()
I mix them up too. I’m not joking. I’ll scroll down and think “when did I take this photo?” “Who are these cute kids?”
Thanks guys, it was just really great to see her enjoy it so much and get something out of it rather than just glaring at me the whole time and not enjoying it. lol.
Barrett, nice one, she sure does blend in well.
I spy a Nala and an Olaf plush, and maybe a Bambi plush on the couch? ![]()
Azerane- I love watching birds wash. My friend had a conure that’d get stroppy when people took showers in the house without him. I remember we were staying in a house with a walk in shower once, every time he heard the shower on the ominous flapping of wings could be heard getting closer.
I started Sampras on a hay only diet(bar a small amount of greens to get probiotics into him) But poor Yumi has gotten lumped with it as well.
Yumi is a foody, and she’s mourning the loss of her pellets. I poured out a bowl as force of habit, placed it down so I could organize myself to put it back in the bag, and Yumi just decided to forgo the formality and go ahead and help herself.
This is the look I got when I asked “Should you be up there?”

Yumi has definitely mastered the “I’m too cute for you to be mad at me” face.
Agreed! She’ll get out of all sorts of trouble with a cute face like that. And those fuzzy ears…omg
“What? Who, me?”
Yumi’s stinkin’ cute.
The shelf of shame ![]()
haha she’s cute, but she is an absolute witch!
I never knew a cuddly toy with such strong opinions on everything.
The rabbit from the Secret Life of Pets was based off of her, Im sure of it.
![]()
Nawww, Yumi is just too cute ^_^ And bunnies with personalities and opinions? Never saw that before…
Breintje starts rattling his cage bars and banging his food crock against them as soon as he hears us waking up. His opinions are usually expressed with making a lot of noise and throwing things around. Oh, and the occasional *hrrrumpf* when we don’t give him his food quickly enough. Nope, not opinionated at all…
I love how Chewie blends in with his surroundings so well. You obviously must be a master of stealth when going about your mischief ^_^
Talking about mischief: my boyfriend was laying on the couch yesterday, reading a book and eating some strawberries. Strawberries???
Breintje absolutely needed to have those!
It started with some fierce begging, them he stole the food right out of Bas’ mouth, and when Bas held a strawberry away from him, Breintje just climbed on his face to get closer to it. In the last pic he’s standing with both his front paws in the middle of my BF’s face. Tsssk, he literally walks all over people to get to his food, he’s so obsessed.![]()
LOOOOOOOOL
Cheeky little monkey. Although strawberries are extremely yummy.![]()
Yeah, thought as much. Bas looks like a real macho animal beating monster of a bf !!
![]()
Eee! Strawberry thief! I love how their cuteness always lets them get away with it. :]
Olaf couldn’t decide what to be for Halloween this year…
Bunman, Bunkin, or Bunnicula?



Elllie-That is so sweet!
pinknfwuffy- Olafs colouring (especially his nose) is spectacular!! His costumes are pretty rockin’ too
While picking up styptic powder today, and saw this in the cat aisle: https://i.imgur.com/fDD6XaE.jpg
Yes. A cardboard elephant. Which is so DARN CUTE!! (Apologies for the crappy lighting, by the way…
 
Anyway, Winter’s going to have this during floortime. Pictures coming soon! ![]()
That wink should be a closed parenthesis… ![]()
OMG, look at Chewie blending in! =D
Ellie – That is too cute. I love how determined he is.
Pink – Those are so cute! Did you draw those on a tablet?
Great idea pinknfwuffy! That would probably be the only way I’d ever get Luna in a costume ![]()
Just Leopold being his normal self…
And I got this for my niece today. I don’t think my sister in law is going to like the hot pink pants. Maybe I should have gotten black or gray to go with the pink?
LBJ – is a furry someone partly photobombing in Leopold’s pic? ![]()
Pinknfwuffy: Bunnicula!
Olaf and Leopold made my morning. So cute!
Yes, Wooly was turning his back to the camera so I decided to just focus in on Leopold. Neither one likes their picture taken.
Thank you Dface and Luna! I agree–it’s the only way I can dress him up. :]
LBJ – I doodled on my Galaxy S6. It took a while and I kept having to clean it up around the edges. The bat symbol still kind of looks like a butterfly. Narf.
Q8 – Bunny vampire it is then! Merci!
Somebunny is binge-watching Hawaii Five-O ![]()
Great ! And what is Chewie doing…….? ![]()
You did a good job! I don’t know if I could doodle that well. :/
Lol Chewie! Chester likes The Office ![]()
Well, this happened today! My roommate got a cat hat for Chester
he actually tolerates is quite well. And he’s SO cute with it!

Does Chewie not want to chomp all those scrummy tv cables ?? ![]()
Chester and the cat hat !!!
brilliant !!
Vienna: Perhaps. But he can’t reach them.
Jo: Chester looks like an adorabun Scotsman. ![]()
Dface, what kind of bunny is yumi!! I neeeeed to know right now! Sooooo cute
Q8-Chewie has his own seat to sit up on XD
BubblesJo- That is a wonderful picture, and Chester has beautiful colouration!
Reese- I think I’ve said it before somewhere, but she’s a lionhead angorra mongrel according to the people who gave her to me. But Im not 100% sure she’s not just a teddy bear that got brought to life somehow
Just a quick reminder to anyone lighting bonfires for halloween (or for guy fawkes or just because you like giant outdoor fires) there are loads of tragic stories, and cases of these prickly little gremlins being burned to death or horribly injured while we enjoy our fires. Hedgehogs hibernate in the winter, and log piles make great nests! They are also starting to have and raise babies,(If you are from the Southern Hemisphere) and it’s the same story!
It’s better if you ca construct a bonfire pile shortly before you use it, but if thats not the case , normally shoving a broom handle through it and shining a torch will help you identify any squatters !
Granted having spent the last 11 years of my life dealing with hedgehogs, I cant be sure they wouldnt burn our homes down given half a chance! ![]()

Chester is so adorable words can’t even begin to describe it! I’m so stealing him! (And his hat).
Dface, that’s a good reminder and a good illustration. We don’t do bonfires for halloween but we do on April 30th, and I agree it’s MUST to only assemble the material just before it’s to be burnt. I love hedgehogs. This year thankfully I haven’t seen any of those late fall kits that can’t find food and won’t make it. 2 years ago I tried to save one of those by syringe-feeding it and everything, but it died, it was probably too late so the little body had already started to shut down.
Bam- Survival rates of hoglets without their mother is very very low, no matter how much experience you have with them, sometimes the mother leaves them because she already knows something we don’t. I’ve had ones that should have died, but lived and ones that should have lived but died, for reasons I’ll never know. It’s heartbreaking but at least it died in safety!
In my area Im the evil witch who runs around dismantling bonfires in the dead of night so they have to set it up again the next day…![]()
Chester looks so dapper in his little cap.
That is good info, Dface.
Hahaha Dface, that is awesome that you dismantle fires xD. I’m glad there are people like you out there. Maybe I’m just overly-empathetic but visualizing little hedgehogs being burned alive is just absolutely horrible and terrifying to me. All animals deserve to live, and certainly they shouldn’t perish just for our entertainment or because of our sheer laziness.
That is not overly empathetic. That is empathetic and humane. I completely agree. Its disturbing to know people would rather have quick fun than take the time to protect hedgehogs and any other animals that might be in the woodpiles.
Oh my god Odette looks amazing!! She’s so chill! I havent tried costumes with my pair…but the temptation is deffo growing (You’re poor kitty looks worried in the last picture though “IS this going to end or is this our life now”)
I dont do it out of badness or anything, I know they’ll reconstruct in the morning, it just means nothing hides in it. When I was a kid a cat got into the bonfire. -it had gotton out of the house and bolted into the “safe area” the bonfire was only half lit, the cat caught fire and got out . It was honestly the worst thing to witness.
It was badly burned, but survived and made a full recovery!
Bonfires and halloween are great for us, but it has to be the worst time of year for animals everywhere!
He was confused. I was trying to get him to look up so I could see his eyes. My bf, inexplicably, started snapping his fingers to the side of the pic and saying “look up, Catfish.”
Poor odette lol……
but id love to get a pic of a Henry binky with the superbun cape on !!!!! ![]()
Dface, you are right about bonfires, I won’t be lighting any or going near any fires or firework displays, why is it on TV there are lots of ‘Children never play with fireworks’ adverts and no ‘Look out for small animals’ or adverts on how to keep animals happy at home?
Guy Fawkes TRIED to blow up the houses of Parliament, he never managed so I see it a waste of time and people pay money for something that goes bang in their garden, there are better things to do than spend money on that and to get seriously injured, blinded or even killed,its best to go to a fireworks display in your area where there are professionals letting off all these bangers.
Question? Why do people buy fireworks and let them off at the beginning of October?
Just gonna leave this Agouti guy here with his begging face, in the hopes it will lure a certain agouti bun mamma.
Great idea jerseygirl! No one could resist such a cute face.
Finally cleared some room on my memory card for the camera so I plan to use it more, rather then my phone camera. Smartphones are so convenient though. Im usually snapping a pic and sending it straight on to fellow crazy-about -bunnies friend.
I should post photos of his fatty face from years ago.
He looks so different.
Agouti buns melt my heart. Odette, we don’t want you to go and we don’t want you to be upset.
Now I’ll try to upload a picture of some kale I’ve been growing, because I heard someone had trouble uploading pics to this thread today:
It uploaded but it did take some time.
bam, that looks scrummy
if my buns see that, I’ll have no monitor left ![]()
Gina.Jenny, it’s actually thanks to your tips about growing kale in a tent that it turned out so well! See the white fabric in the background? That’s what’s left of the “tent” I made from an IKEA curtain to keep cabbage flies and cabbage worms away. It’s not needed this late in the season but it worked so great during the risky period from May to late August. I’ve never grown as beautiful red kale before, it’s so pretty it could be a decoration, not food =)
Purple kale looks so pretty. I usually get the one that you have growing at the back. It’s called tuscan kale here or cavolo nero at the Italian green grocers.
Purple kale and cavolo nero sounds much more exotic than red kale and black kale as we call it here. The black kale is supposed to withstand frost, but it doesn’t, so a good thing Bam got his proper vaccination before we’ve had any frost. Red kale and green kale are supposed to be better once there’s been frost, so it’s not harvested here until then, but the black kale just collapses when it freezes.
Jerseygirl has begged me with PussInBoots eyes,
to post a pix of Sammy in memory of the day we met. It was Halloween, and I was browsing in a new, tiny pet shop that had just opened, hoping to get supplies for a new bunny. There was my tiny girl, miss growlypants, who snuggled on my shoulder. I had to have her, and pretended it was a rescue from a shop instead of a shelter. I named her after a good witch because of the occasion, Samantha, and Bunnykins because my mother loved that name. So, in memory of my dear Sammykins, I give you: 
Wasn’t she a beauty?
Bam, no kale withstands Spike.
Odette, it would be lovely to have you still here next month, since it’s going to be November, and Thanksgiving, and my birthday the week before and all. (No pressure…LOL).
Aw Yayyy! There she is.
She really was a beautiful girl. Especially her eye markings. She really went all out with her Halloween eye make up. ; )
I think Sammykins and Olivia are dressing up for tonight and doing each other’s makeup. They were so much alike, those two divas.Jersey will supervise them, of course. ![]()
LOL Vienna.
Q8, you’re not serious. Everyone stop this right now. I consider any suggestions of leaving a Halloween Trick.
I want Treats, you hear!
Sammy was likened to Cleopatra, since her eyelines grew up in those points naturally over time. It was really amazing. Never thought of Goth….

Oh no RP, you’re making me cry.
I so miss all our bunnies that are no longer with us.
Posting this here because it was taken on Halloween.
A lot of people were talking about the dangers of bonfires to animals, but with so many kids in the house, (not to mention a rabbit that likes to JUMP UP ONTO TABLES!) I had a more immediate problem last night! ![]()

The kids really must learn- no chair is safe! No table is safe!
