Here’s a pic of Theo cuddling/begging for pets on the sofa with me:
And a pic of him acting like he owns the place. Which he, of course, does.
Theo lives with my fiance at the moment and I used to live in a flat 10 mins away. We are getting married in just over 2 week (eeeeeek) and I’ll be moving in to his house. For the last 4 weeks or maybe more actually though I’ve been living over an hour away from Theo since my flat lease was up. I miss him so much
. My fiance claims I miss Theo more than I miss him (no comment lol) -
We don’t care how wet it is out, or that you are already wet from going out to bring a far-too-small-to-share-six-ways bowl of grass and dandelions in, we are going to sit here and keep looking at you and doing all we can to make you feel guilty (Pippi) and inferior (Jenny) til you give in and take us outside.

Mr Snail decided to up patio window last night so had brill view of his underbelly…. ok underfoot… and with amateur mobilephone torch lighting I (sort of) captured his wavy transportation muscles…. some will say wow!, some will say blurrgghhh.
And then he changed direction !!!! LOL
BON APPETIT to those eating !!!

The Munchkins, Vinny (left) and Velvet (right/rear), are a happily bonded brother/sister pair rescued from the streets last August. They love their human sister, Christine. They are a year old last month. You may be familiar with their brother, Ryuk!
Tilly (blue) and Duncan (agouti) are still a happy couple. (Tilly is currently in a minor molt) They are not as hands on with the baby, but don’t mind her. They’ll be more interested when she’s old enough to give them treats, like her cousins!

Hi Cottontail! Congratulations on the birth of your little girl!!! Andi told me recently that she had arrived. How has motherhood been? : )
I just love how the rexies look like they are watching over her. Nice to see you and the bunnies again!
@LPT, it looks like Everly and Sterling are BFF’s already. So cute! I can’t put my finger on it but I feel like he is one or under a year old. Maybe ask Everly? Maybe they talk.
Lol @ Olaf rolling off top of the sofa!! Haha. Nice capture.
Ahh! Buddy’s face!!!

Here is Miss Madeline helping herself to the last of her pellets this morning! She is such a pig! All she does is eat!!!!! This morning once she realized that bag was empty she came up to me and started pulling on the buttons on my clothes…. shes going to be quite the prissy princess I have a feeling!

Vienna: That effect is called bokeh and apparently it’s much sought after – which is proof of Hazel’s having chosen a good new camera kit.
Buns appreciate looking good in pictures.
I took these pictures in auto mode, and they still turned out nicely, I think! Hopefully they will get better with practice.
Vienna, the blurred background is great! Love this camera!
LPT: What a cute picture of Everly and Winnie!
And Bindi, oh boy. That’s some disapproval!Theo, awww! Sooo sleepy!
Bam is so cute!
You guys are right, Mosby is getting huge! He’s an 8 lbs monster now, which is ironic considering he’s only 5 months old and still has all his baby teeth. He looks like a toothless old man right now, he could fit twice as many teeth in his giant mouth!
The boys hanging out:
O: “Hey Mose, have you ever noticed that the human’s face is pretty much bald?”
M: “You’re riiight… GROSS!!!”
L: “Ewww, it IS bald…”
M: “Not as bald as your ears.”
L: “%$#&…!”

Here’s my dramatic little boy. I wove him a paper mat from paper strips that arrived in the mail. He had a blast tearing it up.
And we went to the vet to get him checked up and to schedule an appointment for neutering (nervous mother here!) and Chomondeley was not pleased. He peed all over the floor.
Luckily, the vet was quite understanding.
-
Niamian: Your picture looks like an illustration from a fairy tale book, with Bianca being the beautiful princess, of course.
MiNino: I want to give Jack a squeeze in that picture. He’s so gosh darn handsome! And to think that his hooman has given him his own exclusive access point to HIS spot on the sofa.
-
Thanks guys.
He is my darling boy and moulting or no he is beautiful for his mommy.
Just had to show you the true face of The Molt Monster. Though it’s not like he let’s it ruin his jam. Lol
Even our vet last year when he saw him in his first big shed said that he never before met bunny like him.Snowball is adorable, my lionhead Bianca has similar sleeping poses, it’s just cuteness overload.
P.S. Q8 you are in a neighborhood? If you ever feel like it, Redford, Bianca and I would love to have you as a guest! And this is not just a politeness.

For little Louise, most of that chart is a “Meh.” Except the head, of course, which is still a “Yes!!” As long as I don’t overdo it, she doesn’t really mind poking and petting, no matter where it is.
She’ll even flip over (yes, of her own free will!) and lay that way until she gets a good belly rub, sometimes. (It’s completely strange to me, especially since I’ve only had her about a month!)

Is it just me, or do all owners of red-eyed rabbits have the problem with their rabbit’s eyes looking like they are evil, I think it’s cute the way Zeke looks with his eyes like that.
Here’s me being bored with the settings on my phone (please excuse the quality of my camera, cheap phone.)
Hay on the floor Zeke deciding play vacuum

Here is a photo of Zou (bear in mind the size of her giant nose!) and possibly one of the biggest dandelion leaves I’ve found to date…. Sprite can 330ml for scale !
Can anyone do any better? LOL
all that rain must have something to do with the mega dandelions, as I’ve just found dozens in the back garden that are over a foot long, though none as wide as the ones in Zou’s mouth!
Latte generously agreed to do some quality control, before I dry this lot out to save for winter
-
Q8 – Humungous yes ! But sorry, a one off !!
Gina – I tried drying out back in May when we had 3 really hot days (seems a lifetime ago in all this rain now), but it was SUCH a FAF (phaf? faph? lol) and I still wasn’t convinced there wasn’t ONE drop of humdity left that would ruin it all… so I won’t be trying it again….
-
Yup, and the huge leaves I got didn’t have a stalk!! (that I could find anyway!) – maybe the energy goes into the stalk and not the leaves….?
I tossed my devonshire dandelions for days !! They came back in the car with me sprawled out on the back of the car so no fermentating happened…. still had to dry for 2 days at home.
Right – I’m going out NOW to collect some (saw some wicked ones on my roundabout earlier in the car) and I’ll try again…..
-
Oh goodness knows bam !
That is indeed horsehoe-y shaped (thanks to Google!).
I do remember now her saying something like they’re fine for buns before the flowers come, but as soon as the flowers arrive (or just after?) they release some sort of toxin (or other) so not good for buns… Actually, that’s probably why I sort of deleted it from my memory !I’ve brought some brambles back with me tonight – but she’s not impressed !!
-
I totally just rubbed Coco’s scrumptious nose on my iPad.
Bam: I wonder if tussilago was named for its medicinal uses? Isn’t tussere Latin for cough, or am I hallucinating due to the heatwave?
Vienna: Lucky girl, being in the thick of it.
Spain’s stuck playing Italy, much to the former’s chagrin, so I’m a nervous wreck – I hate the elimination phase. I’m also quite on pins and needles about the referendum. I love spending time in the UK and having an EU passport made it so much easier. But I also understand their reasons for wanting to pull out. If I could vote, I think I’d be quite torn. -

I’ve tried thistles. They won’t eat the really thorny ones but there is a type they really like, it has white milk sap and somewhat fleshy, dark green leaves and only a little bit of not-so-sharp thornes. I don’t know what it’s called but maybe I can take a pic tomorrow.We have both types, and yes the not-so-sharp type are fine, its the sharp ones I’m wary of, and of course, they are the type we have most of!
Maybe I could use nail clippers to clip the really sharp ends? Or is that taking things too far?
As far as the vote goes, yes an exciting day, but a bit eclipsed in our house, as my youngest has a two hour biology exam, followed by a three hour Cambridge maths exam, STEP 3, which he has to get one of the top 2 grades on to secure his place at Cambridge, followed by his final chess tournament of the year (Chess year ends 30th Jun). Its all go around here today!
Coco is gorgeous
-
Oh Steph, Im melting. Sterling and Everly…
Love the pic of Gus, Coco and the baby cottontail squeeee.
Re thistles, sow thistle can be popular with some bunnies. Stay away from thorny scotch thistle though. VB, I hope you didn’t toss the brambles that Zou snubbed. Good to keep dried for times when off their food or other tum problems.
-
I’m not sure what Sterling’s life was before a month ago…. but boy did he fall on his big bunny feet !! LOL
I think he & E are a bonded pair….!!Jersey – of course I threw them (but its the beginning of the season
Do you really think she’d eat them when she’s not feeling well, if she doesn’t like them when she feels fine? -
He’s such a beauty! Jersey is right, his color is such a light shade. I want to bun-nap all of these bunnies…. I guess I’m missing my little boy at the moment. Also, I made the mistake of looking at rabbits on Craigslist. My heart broke especially for a sweet little black Lionhead, female (apparently) in my area, kids aren’t treating her right.
Now I’ll be thinking about her and how she might go to a bad family for weeks. -
I went out in the hope of finding ‘some’ foraging yumyum to dry and my golly as you can see – just down the canal from where I live a mini meadow of them… AND I’ve worked out the perfect box to dry them in the (windy) garden – an under bed drawer thingy. Toss toss tossing salad all afternoon… then speedy recovery into the wendyhouse (where I was!) when a bizarre downpour occured in the middle of two heatwave hours, and into the WH again overnight… they are nowhere near being dry yet….
-
Tisha, what a cute name
As per request, Dory. Same pic that I posted in the thread I had about her, but couldn’t find another decent one quick enough, don’t think I’ve copied them over to the computer yet. This was taken a couple weeks ago, but she still looks the same, just has a cleaner beak more often
-
LPT: How cute they both are! Everly and Sterling seem to just love each other!
Azerane: That is one pretty birdie! More pictures please!
Ajax looks pretty dapper out there, and very proud of himself!
Love his hair! He’s beautiful, if I didn’t know better I would guess he’s a lady. Don’t tell him I said that, though.Sorry there’s so much kitty in the pics, every time I try to take some of Oscar, he has to get in the middle of it.
Sharing some kale:
M: “You sure this is edible?”
O: “Yup, try it!”
M: “Okay…”
M: “Mine’s gross, let me try yours!”
O: “TAKE YOUR STINKING PAWS OFF ME, YOU DAMN DIRTY CAT!!!”
-
Awww, your bun and your kitty are just lovely together!
We’ve had a bad start of the summer so far: lots of rain and cold weather. But whenever there’s a small ray of sun, Breintje is sure to catch it!
(sorry, pics taken with a mobile phone cam which is only slightly better than taking pics with a potato)
-
@Ellie – lmao !! I have a very good friend who is Dutch and I can just hear those words coming out of her mouth – same humour or same translated saying… not sure, but still I laughed !
@Hazel – go camera girl, go !! lol – that first one just shows Mosby as a lion cousin – amazing ressemblance – very majestic pose.
And Oscar in the second one with his mouth open could be heard as saying in a Bugs Bunny way “waaaarr what’s up doc? !!” lol -

@Ellie – lmao !! I have a very good friend who is Dutch and I can just hear those words coming out of her mouth – same humour or same translated saying… not sure, but still I laughed ! Hihi, I’m quite proud of my Dunglish, and complaining about our lousy weather is considered our national sport.
It’s true though, the Dutch love to soak up the sun because we don’t get much. (Maybe also because it’s free?) Hell, we even book all-inclusive vacations to the Mediterranean to be cooped up with a lot of other fanatical sunbathers. If our national colour wasn’t orange it’d be sun-burn red
Jessica, your fluff is seriously cute! Enjoy your grooming sessions ^_^

Sorry there’s so much kitty in the pics, every time I try to take some of Oscar, he has to get in the middle of it.
Thanks
I do need to get more photos of her out of the cage. Trouble is it’s quite dark and dreary here lately, and I can’t have the main light on in the room when she’s out. Because of the type of globe, the lights gets really hot and she has tried to land on them before so for her safety I keep the main lights off which means there’s not much light for photography, and I do try not to use the flash on her.And why would you apologise for pictures of the kitty. He is so stinking cute! He and Oscar make such a great pair
Super fun sequence of photos too Having said all that, here’s a pic of her messy face after eating. She wipes it off of her beak onto the bars and then eats it off the bars later, lol. Regarding her neck, that’s how she was when I found her. She has plucked a little more since then exposing a little bit of skin, but she’s also letting some grow in so we’ll see how that progresses. I’m hoping it will improve the longer she’s here and once she gets a larger cage. She was obviously a plucker before, but it seemed pretty healthy in terms of growth so it makes me sad that it’s only gotten worse since she got here.
-
Thanks for the compliments, guys!
Vienna:
I love Oscar’s open mouth. It looks so weird! Mosby seems to think he’s a lion, but he’ll look more like it once he gets his mane. I’ve read that oftentimes it grows in after they get neutered. Only 6 more months to go! Unless he starts spraying, then it’s off to the vet for him… Azerane: Awww, she’s so cute! And it sounds like she’s getting spoiled, poor you living in the dark just for her!
I had to laugh at her smearing the food on the bars for later! Maybe she likes it a little dried up and crispy. I bet she’ll slow down on the plucking soon, who knows how she was kept before, maybe she’s still a little stressed from that, as well as from her escape. It certainly isn’t your fault, you’re taking care of her so well. -

She is super spoiled that’s for sure. It’s tough to say how the plucking started. Her neck may have been completely bare in her old home and it grew in after her escape (who knows how long she was out). Or she started plucking after her escape. It’s difficult to know. I would have thought that a captive bird in the wild would be far too busy to have time for plucking.Jessica, thanks so much for the compliments on my channel
I really want to get back into it, but obviously have to wait until I have a bunny again. I’m hoping to add bird videos with Dory but I’m holding off on that until we’ve had her a while longer.
