  Hoppy Labor Day!!!
  
  I hope everybunny has had a great summer 🐇🌞
  
  I am about to fail fostering a bun. She’ll be my first girl bun, and she’s gorgeous. Here she’s seen napping on her homemade “hop’nflop”:

  Yaaaaay foster fails! <3
  
  She is so beautiful! And I love that “hop’n flop”! I bet Coop would love something like that. 🙂

  She really is beautiful! But then I do think it’d be very difficult to find an ugly bun 🤣
  
  The hop’n flop was very easy to sew. I made it for my bun Vilde, but he never cared for it. I think perhaps it appeals to younger rabbits more? It wasnt so long ago since she was alo cuddled up in a nest next to her litter mates.

  Oh my GOODNESS. You were set up for failure from the start. So excited to hear about what this journey will be like for both of you!!

  Ugh, it’s been hot here again. I know I complain now, but I will be wanting it to be warm once winter gets here. LOL

  In other news, we trimmed all the buns’ nails tonight. Feels so good to get them all done! Everyone has mostly forgiven me LOL

    How do you suggest cleaning my bun’s anal glands with minimal stress? 🙁

    This is the way I’ve done it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x9dbSUdomg&ab_channel=Howcast
    
    But I’ve only had to do it a handful of times with my buns, they’ve usually done a pretty good job keeping them clean themselves.

  It’s good they have (mostly) forgiven you. Grudges around here can last a lot longer than just a couple of hours. 🙄

  It’s funny, Bun Jovi hates nail trims the most, but is always the fastest to forgive! I think he just forgets in his old age LOL

  @Hazel: I wasn’t sure I was emotionally ready for another bun yet. There are diy vids online on how to sew a pillow like that, but you can make a similar thing of an old sweater 😃
  
  @BZOO: Her name is Snow 🥰
  
  @LBJ10: Pigeon 🤣🤣 🤣

  Regardless of name, that is one adorable bun!
  
  The bunny highlight of my month so far: Last weekend I woke up to a splashing sound and the rabbits tearing out of the bathroom. Got up to find Ruby wet and water splashed everywhere around the toilet… She had to have jumped all the way in and back out 😆

  Bam – she really is pretty! Congrats! She looks big too? I am a little confused about her name though 😀
  
  Dorian got his nails trimmed a few days ago too (well I think I got them all, it was a lot of drama). He doesn’t really hold huge grudges, but he does demand extra large piece of pineapple for his suffering. Also finally finishing off a very long molt but luckily no stasis this round.
  
  Hope everyone is doing well and didn’t get caught up in any of the bad weather everywhere seemed to have (or fires)

  Snow Pigeon! I like it! Who cares if it makes sense.
  
  No fires here… just smoke from fires elsewhere. Very annoying.

  yeah, the smoke can be horrible. We have been mostly lucky to miss the worst of it this year, just a week or two in August.
  
  I don’t know what you are saying there, her name is obviously Apricot Jam! 😀 (but I may consider Snow Pigeon as a close 2nd)

  wow,, i haven’t been here in fricking ages. i guess forums are just not something i really pay much attention to anymore.
  
  I’m down to 4 bunnies now,, i lost my Butters (from my 2013 rescued pair) to cancer last month.. he’d had 3 facial sarcoma removal surgeries since december, and was scheduled for the 4th, but it was growing so damn fast and the two of them connected around his skull in just a week (it grew to egg size in only 6 weeks since the last removal) i couldn’t put him under the knife again.
