It’s settled! Mom confirms we have a little boy! That means no more free roaming (super supervised) with Miss Bun.
I few weeks ago I went to one of the only local-ish feedstores in the bay area. I wanted to buy a half bail of hay since I go through is so quickly with 3 guinea pigs and 1 rabbit. I SECRETLY was hoping that they had rabbits. Usually they only have baby chicks to sell, but ocasionally people drop off rabbits they no longer want or dump babies on them. That was my lucky day, an old man apparently dropped off about 10 of these little ones on them in a tiny cage that was soaked with pee and water at the bottom. All of them were white with black spots and eye liner, with blue eyes but 2 were solid black with brown eyes. I couldn’t pick which ones!! I spent almost 2 hours there cuddling them all with my brand new nice sweater on (oh well) getting nasty shavings on me blech. I couldn’t tell really any of their sexes because they were so small. The owner said that the man said (he said she said blah blah) they were only 5 weeks. They were all really skinny and really dirty, those of you know from when I first brought him home. After 2 weeks of oxbow pellets, veggies and hay, he has doubled in size and is clean for the most part. I was really stressed out at first because my room is so crowded already and I knew my mom wouldn’t let me use the guestroom for any of the pets because we already have a rat in there…lol.
The past few weeks I kept and eye on him to make sure his poops looked okay and that he didn’t show any signs of sickness before letting Bun check him out. I would say she feels like “ew a baby…gross” to him and that he’s just annoying because he wants to cuddle her so bad and puts his head down to snuggle and well…Bun didn’t like that. (First I thought Indy was a girl so I wasn’t worried and no one was mounting anyways) After some tramples and clapping “NO” everything was well. Bonding will defenitly be a entirely different issue and awhile away since he will need to be neutered and doesn’t have those parts down yet anyways. So…no more roaming around together, not that they had a great time together anyways.
After many days of pondering names and what sex the little one is, I can tell now, and its much more clear of the “hole” and the musky pee smell. So , it’s official: Indiana Jones aka Indy
I will have to add him into my signature as well
“Nice and cozy under here”
“Mooooooom I want back in!!!”
Peekaboo!
Bun making sure that Indy knows it’s HER BOX
Bun realizing that Indy is under my dresser. Lol.
Laptime!
