A few days ago, my mom asked where her camera was. I had borrowed it to take pictures of Hammer and Lucy, so I said “its in the bunny’s room.” Yes, I said it completely serious, not thinking or trying to be funny, I refered to MY room as the bunny’s room.
And it is thier room, this is so sad, but I have my twin bed downsized from a full to give them more room, my one small dresser, the rest of my clothes (ones I actually wear even) are in my closet packed up, and lastly my tiny vanity which currently has my little bun poo broom and dustpan set on it.
Yep, thats all thats in my room that belongs to me. My bed is even in a awful place because this is the set up that blocked off a outlet completely, its in the way of the closet. I use only one outlet now, for my laptop charger and printer. All my other chargers are throughout the house now, only light is my dim ceiling fan, and had to get rid of my tv (been reading a ton now lol) for now, at least till I convince someone to run an ugly cable over the ceiling. Ive been sleeping on the couch for most of last week because the bun I was bun sitting was so darn loud at night. But last night Hammer and Lucy were oddly loud (even though the other bun left yesterday), so I grabbed my pillow and a blanket again and headed for the couch. Well it was very late, and very dark (again because of the buns, I read here i think, that its better for them to sleep in a darker room.) I had been asleep, tripped over their maze haven, making me crash through the buns baby gate at the door.
The gate boomed to the floor with myself following, resulting in all three dogs barking like crazy, bruised ribs for me, and Lucy thupming for the next 5 minutes.
I have 133 cubes in my room, all being used. A spare area rug, many spare smaller rugs for switching out when I clean pens, many bunny blankets on stand by, two carriers. Nearly 1000 zip ties ready to be used (I buy in bulk lol), a concrete forming tube, big tub of hay, smaller tub of hay (when i have the money I stock pile on bags and bags so that I wont spend it without getting hay first), small garbage can of wood pellets, three bags of wood pellets. A 5 tier storage basket thing for toys first aid cleaning stuff etc., small tub of BB toys, maze haven, shop vac. There is poo and bedding all over my floor, because vaccuming is such a huge deal here, all the animals hate it and have to be moved and dogs have to go outside etc. 1/3 of the fridge is bunny salad, and I have a hook for the bun salad strainer next to the sink. I stumble over the baby gate daily, have a huge serious cut from the buns claws I was sitting for. My graduation gift- a camera that doesnt have a delay, to catch those binkies on film.
Went to a party the other day wearing a shirt that had a hole in it, I didnt know, wonder where that came from?! Sometimes I think im crazy, ive already lost my room.
But im happy because my babies are happy! Anyway, my conclusion- Bunny slaves are not sane.
You have to be insane to put up with this lol.

BunnyLiz I know exactly how you feel, My whole room is taken over by my bunnies and a couple times I have pondered getting a mini staircase so they could get on my bed.
But anyway I find myself wishing for a bigger room, not because I need/want more room to myself, its because i want my bunny (now bunnies) to have more room. I am not allowed to let them free roam so I give them all the space possible
. My bed is squished into a corner of my room too and I once considered letting the bunnies run under it for more space but then i looked at the mess under there and thought “no”. The tiny section of my room that has my chest of drawrs and cubord is very messy (I don’t need to keep my space clean, just the bunnies space). My parents were worried that now I have a second bunny I will try to ‘take over’ another room with bunny madness…
I assured them I wouldn’t but you never know…..
I have the pen for my bunnies flush against my bed so I basically have to jump out of bed…In the morning I wake up to the sound of digging or chewing, even on the weekends it is no different, but I DO have a wake up service, Bunny digs, bunny chews, dog wakes up, dog whines. It is like a chorus of animals waking me up!
Hehe, us bunny slaves we do too much for our bunnies.Simply saying I know how you feel, and to me, it is not a bad feeling.

lolz…*nods* Sounds about right to me.
My house is a disaster anyway…I don’t think my kids (and in some cases my husband and myself) have thrown anything away in the last 14 years and we brought enough stuff to Alaska with us to start our own mini-mall. So add to this about a bazillion different bunny supplies in various stages of disarray and you have what Liz just described, only in an almost 1200 square foot house that feels more like one of those storage containers, packed full.
My ultimate goal is to own a house that I can completely turn over to the bunnies while I learn to sleep on the porch. >.< I think I have enough room on the property to build myself some kind of 'ohana house' if need be, as long as the bunnies are happy.
