He’s so gorgeous and funny. Chewie-boy, there are days I feel like that too.
Here’s another flop pic. Timbu flopped next to my legs when I was in bed. He hasn’t done it in a while so I was very happy. Had to take the pic blind so as not to disturb him. So it’s just a phone pic, in semi darkness. I had to lighten the photo. :p
Koala : ) Saw 2 different ones that day. This one has something wrong with its eye.
-
Yes, she is nearing 8 months! We can definitely tell she has grown! She still doesn’t even seem that big to us, until you go hang out with our 10 week mini lop and you realize how much she has grown!!
its funny when they sprawl out, legs and all, and flatten like a pancake. Then you realize how big they truly are! I love Wick’s one white paw and streak! So cute!!
-
Yeah, Bindi Butt photo bomb, lol.. Sending {{{ear vibes}}} his way LPT. Lol @ Sterling, greedy guts. And tail like a 3rd hock!
Goodness Sprocket and Boston are little heart breakers, aren’t they?!
Loving Yumi’s “I want to be near you but only giving you my backside” stance there. Lol !
Ophelia, Opelia!
Showing she is yet another intelligent Dutchie-bun. -
@pinknfwuffy I love seeing Olaf! He reminds me of winter time
It looks like you have the same couch overs as me, does Olaf try to dig it off the couch? Opehlia does!! @Q8 Hoppy Bunniversary Chewie!!
@OBM I can’t handle your bunnies, they are too cute!!!
@Burichi I love it too when my bun makes her food a fashion statement
-
Oh my, Olaf is just gorgeous
Loving that cute pic of Chewie ^_^ Congrats again!
Breintje was feeling a bit under the weather because of the VHD2 shot he got today. He felt a bit cold to the touch, so I carried him around for a while in a shawl. He got very comfy and also right back on temperature.
-
That’s so funny TM ^_^ BTW: the image doesn’t show, but I copied the link.
Bas took Breintje to his house for the weekend because we are expecting a lot of noise disturbance from a hardcore festival. I’ll be joining them tomorrow. Breintje was in his old room for 10 seconds, and immediately ran to his perch on the window sill. He has a lovely view of the campus and the surrounding forests there, and spies on everyone walking past. Here he is: the lord of the manor surveying his domain.
-
Awww, isn’t he just gorgeous! Dark winter boots for stomping through the mud, and summer slippers for that ultimate holiday feel ^_^
So glad that Breintje wasn’t born a peanut
Buns who’ve inherited the dwarf gene from both parents are called peanuts, these ultra tiny buns are not viable. Always sad when that happens while breeding with dwarfs. I’m sad because I’m missing my fluffy buddy. There’s no-one who throws my knitting off the couch, or sits next to me happily munching on his own turds and tries to kiss me afterwards…
Bas is trying to cheer me up with the pics he sends me. Can you spot the bun on this picture he took of the outside of their dorm building? I love my teeny tiny little bunny ^_^
-
Olaf is the most fashionable bun ever!
Ellie: That’s an awesome picture of Breintje! Looks like he’s giving everyone who’s walking by the death stare!
OBM: Something definitely got his attention!
Somebunny decided to go for a dive into the hay box. Naturally, he got trapped, but he couldn’t have cared less. After munching on some hay for a while, he finally decided to chew his way out. He totally didn’t appreciate my help…
Otis got through his surgery just fine. He’s a lot easier on the eyes…
We also got to try out his new seat belt/harness. Normally he is a nightmare in the car, but with this on, he was cool as a cucumber. So much so that it was starting to creep us out…
-
I’m sure most of you guys saw I’m trying to find a bonding mate for Tony, and today we found this little doll!
I don’t want why images won’t attach from my phone ?
She has no name, but I’m going to call her Carmela (like Tony and Carmela in The Sopranos). Mellie for short. She’s a mini Rex.
-
Aww! <3
@TM, I fixed image for you.
She looks very sweet! I really like mini rexes. I see a bunny tail going out of the shot though… are these intact buns of age or…. they’re just babies…? Hazel, Otis looks very regal sitting up there in the car.
I wonder if those harness act a bit like a thundershirt and have a calming effect? So good to see his eye all fixed up.
Hi Oscar!! I have to ask…did he poop in the box? -
Q8: LOL! He really does!
You should let your dad get one of those pouch things, that would be so cute! jersey: The cone makes him look a little dorky, but he only has to wear it for one more week.
In the mean time he’s doing his best to look as dignified as possible. I don’t THINK Oscar pooped in the box, but it is a big box, so… 
Bianca: That’s adorable!
TM: Carmela’s fur looks so soft, she’s beautiful!
-
@Nala – Gorgeous coat! Nothing better than catching a relaxed posed.
@LPT – Rabbits getting actively involved in our lives is a blessing and disguise. Doesn’t look a day over 6mo with those shades
Wick’s molt is taking a while and is making everyone sneeze like crazy! After this morning’s groom, he has a pompadour. http://www.instagram.com/wick_theboogeyman

Haha, rocking those sunglasses ^_^ And you know what they say: get a pet, and you’ll never eat alone again
@Wick: with you too? I thought we had an extreme case here. Breintje’s been at it since april I think, and it’s driving me crazy. There’s fur in my nose, my food and in all my crafts. My dad will wear 25% bunny fur socks if this continues.
-
Check out those feetsies!!
I decided to try a one on one with Terry and Lily in the bathroom – neutral territory. They noped out of touching the floor and leaped onto my lap and squished up together. So we put the mat down for them and they each groomed the other, then Lily kept demanding more but Terry was being useless so at one stage she ended up nearly under him and he still didn’t get the hint.
-
Perfectly round bunny poops are always wonderful!
Lily and Maggie had their first bonding sessions today. This is from session two after a little bit of nipping/Lily losing some fur. I gave them some pats as they settled, then Lily groomed Maggie so Maggie decided that Lily is okay and might make a good slave.
I’m feeling positive for these two, along with Lily and Terry, and that I will eventually have a trio. And then a group of 4 when Greebo’s hormones settle!
-
Bianca: Nice job with the bonding! Looks promising.
Rookie: Don’t blame yourself, nobody could resist that look.
Vienna: Oh my, those feet are awesome! And they look so soft… Does he let you touch them?
BM: I’m sorry you’re having a tough time, it’s so sad that you lost them so close together.
Otis has now doubled in size since we got him.
16lbs vs 32 lbs:
It’s crazy how much bigger he is. We think it’s those steroid eye drops…
-
Lol, I love the Lion King reference!!
Maggie and Lily are doing well bonding. We had two more sessions today with no nipping. In the second session they shared some food, and then Lily realised it was a fun game to snatch carrot out of Maggie’s mouth and run laps of the bath with it while Maggie vaguely chased her for it.
I also had Mitzi come in to help supervise for a while before she decided that bathrooms aren’t comfortable.
-
@BM: Nibbles was absolutely gorgeous. I’m very sorry for your loss
@Bianca: It’s official, I’m totally in love with Lily. That round face, those big eyes and those ears <3 She has to have a bit of dwarf in her ancestry!
Yikes, be careful what you wish for! I was complaining about the moult not coming along, and decided to give Breintje a couple of sunflower seeds each day to help speed it up. Rabbit breeders say that these “increase your rabbit’s body temperature and can trigger spontaneous moulting”. Don’t know if it’s true, but the vet approved of it, and we’re now facing a massive moult!
Breintje has been super licky yesterday, constantly interrupting my sewing I was doing on the couch. Couldn’t get a moment to finish my project without him demanding pettings by licking me. Itchy bunnies can be very annoying, so I decided to put him on a towel on the table and check for any loose fur. His entire left flank came off with only some very light plucking, and there was a whole new layer of fur underneath it already. He normally sits very still during plucking, twitching a bit “eek that tickles”. But now he was toothpurring and constantly trying to lick my hands and face. He looks like he’s been mauled by a bear, but he definitely seems happier that the itchy old fur is gone.
-
Ellie, I actually love his face. He’s just so cute.
BM, I’m so sorry about Nibbles. X
Carmela is settling in well enough here right now. She’s quite standoffish and independent so I’m a bit worried about the bonding, but the shelter have told me that a friend of theirs loves Rexes and will happily give her a home of the bonding process goes really badly, although I am absolutely not going to do that unless we absolutely have to. I’m determined to make this work!
-
This isn’t as cute as all the glorious fluff balls on this thread, but I thought you all might appreciate this. (Hopefully it’s appropriate for this thread).
My first tattoo, in part a memorial to my Bunston, who we lost last February. It’s only 1 day old, so still healing!!!
Now I can say he is “watching my back”:

Bianca, I’m so jealous of your beautiful fluffle and wonderful bonding luck!
Things are more chill around here now, we’re taking a break from bonding to wait for them to go to “bonding boot camp.” Spending time getting to know this lovable goon
He’s got a whole room to himself and plenty of good comfy places to sleep, yet here he is this morning loafed up into the smallest possible corner
-
Ohhhh Olaf !!!!!!! PNF, pleeeeease try to get one of those false plastic lips and put it in the end of a carrot and time your photo perfectly so Olaf can have luscious lips. Hahahahaha
Do you know what i mean?, they have dog toys with them now and baby dummies too (and with a moustache!) so it looks like they have big fat pink lips !!!! Quite funny.
-
Hmmm. Okay thank you. I am trying to figure out whether he is clear or not actually. He does have a damp nose and has for a while but no sneezing other than when halfway deep in hay. He has been a little chatter box since he was little. He gives the same sounds almost like grunting when eating, cleaning, and excited but just when sitting he breaths normal and quiet. The snoring only starts when he is fully asleep. He was just at the vet for his neuter and they said his breathing was good. I will call the vet again tomorrow just in case. Thank you for looking!

Hehe , he is so cute how he flops half in the tunnel, since he hates being enclosed he always has half of himself out of itMy fav is when he has his feet out one end and head out the other so the tunnel is around his waist lol
A bunny burrito?!?!
I can’t with him……THE BOOPLESNOOT -
Well he gets to see them a lot in the study because they are only separated by a playpen. But I did have them in the playpen in the lounge room today and I let him out in the lounge room – so they all got to see each other in a different environment. It was pretty funny. I posted some photos on my bonding journal – Terry decided to do lots of gloating by flopping as dramatically as possible in front of Greebo. Greebo just wanted to say hi.
-
The link doesn’t work here. Curious about the pic!
Fixed! Ah, he’s such a squee fluffball
So fuzzy it’s hard to guess which side is which I don’t even want to think about what moult looks like in your house. Oh dearie…I just took a pic of our little moult monster. His summer fur is a lot shorter than his winter fur, which makes for interesting shapes. He looks like the Hunchback of Notre Bun in this pic, just because of the difference in fur length
-
So cute~~~! Which is fluffier? The answer is obvious
What a wonderful and content bun bun Boston is. Wonderful short clip from this past weekend of Wick getting a bit spooked by construction outside. At the very end, you can see his bottom perk up as he gets ready to run away: https://www.instagram.com/p/BX-d4N4…eboogeyman

Wick – Squee! That little bum wiggle is too cute.
BN – I love the helicopter ears!
RB – I can see Treble with Reese because when you convince one parent, it’s almost a sure thing that the other parent gives in too
Mel – They make a gorgeous couple
BM – He’s so well behaved. If Luna gets that close my phone gets chewed!
-
Burichi, I don’t know why your pic won’t show. I’ve asked the other leaders for help. Here’s a screen dump I made of your pic, because I can see it in quote-mode. But then it won’t post. He really is a beautiful creeper-bun
Tony’s mum, I managed to get your pic up. Don’t know what went wrong, but I’ve asked the other leaders about that too.

BB friends – I give you “Balou” – check out his face
– although in the first photo it’s more a WHAT is that camera thing in your hands. He has been mine for just over 24hrs now. Papers to be signed in 2 weeks if all goes well.He is a 6.5 year middle aged chap who was rescued 3 weeks ago from a house with ‘his beotch’ (lol) and their 7 pups.
All underfed (well pups were ok) – we imagine him to need to add 5 kilos to be a nice shape and get muscle back in his legs.
As a result there are no big walks yet, and he is very wobbly when he gets up from his siesta.
I am hoping incredibly deeply that it is muscle waste which will ‘simply’ grow back in time.
Jess gave him a welcome kiss as soon as he walked in. Cali, a welcome hiss !
He walked passed the buns pen with a nochanlant sniff, not bovverred and so this morning I let them out.
Zou bounded up to him. Henry thumped his annoyance and ran around like a headless chicken for 5 mins at ANOTHER furry in the household. When he realised noone else was fussed, he chilled out ! LOL
So there – if all goes well, Balou will join the family and is the LAST to do so.
-
Balou, you are gorgeous!! He seems like a perfect fit for your seemingly ever expanding fur family
I am sure that he will warm up in no time once he realises he is safe and very much loved Part border collie maybe? Or am I just seeing what I want to see? Feel free to spam us with doggy pics!
Sterling is a cutie, as is Burichi’s bun
-
Balou is so handsome! He looks very gentle and wise.
Bertha and Moose were VERY snuggly yesterday:

Hey Q8 I know it won’t load properly because I’m doing this on my phone and pics never load from it, but if you follow the link to the picture it’s Chewie’s Facebook ethnicity. Turns out he’s Eurotrash like most of us ?

You guys are so awesome! Chewie says he’s worried about his divergent results… all this time he was under the impression that he was Arab. Master Quincy looks very wise in that photo.
Chewie: “I don’t know mom, something doesn’t add up here!”
I am actually a twin (I also have 3 other siblings) and we all joke that I am the milk mans baby because I have so many different features from the rest of my family. They are all blue eyed, sharp faces and I am green eyed, with more rounded facial features and I don’t look like them
My husband says that I shouldn’t be bothered because I turned out the cutest…but I think he may be partial

Gina is the only one not moulting right now, the house is a fog of bun-fur 24/7!
