  My classes just ended for winter break. Yay no homework or labs for a month!
  
  Bunnies are doing great. Not much has changed since my little update. Gypsy is a food hog that tries to eat 24/7. She hates hay but eats it if she absolutely has to. Her new favorite thing to do is sling her food bowl all over the cage when it is empty.
  
  Monty has gotten a lot better as far as his aggression goes. He has only nipped me once in a few weeks. He still won’t let me groom him though so I do have huge issues with him matting. Especially around the back of his cheek areas. He gets groomed at the vet once a week but for some reason he seems to always have mats near his cheeks.
  
  I only have 2 pictures currently. My camera is giving me major issues. They are both of Gypsy. I had a couple of Monty but my camera ate them. Thought it was my card but I’m pretty sure 6 cards can’t all be defective in the exact same way. Lol.
  
  The first picture is pretty blurry due to the camera instability and Gypsy’s inability to ever be still.
  
  This is pretty much her permanent pose since she binkies all of the time!

  Glad to see you back and injury-free! OMG! Gypsy has grown so much, and oh those ears! Guess when I come to steal her again you’ll get to keep your shoes! Definitely need Monty pics….

  I took Monty pictures last night but it was a giant fail. Lol. I am going to either get my camera fixed or buy a new one.
  
  I am planning to eventually bond Monty and Gypsy. Which I forgot to mention above is that Monty is finally neutered. He was a problem neuter. The surgery went fine but I ended up having to force feed him because he refused literally everything. He is already a picky eater so this was just terrible.

  Welcome back! I love Gypsy’s big ears! She’s so beautiful and she’s grown so much! It’s also great to hear that Monty is being less aggressive. Maybe now I can finally steal him!
  
  If you ever receive any good tips on grooming a difficult rabbit, please let me know! I feel like I’m constantly battling mats on Ox.

  Got a couple of pictures of Mr Grumpy Pants Monty
  
  They are of his face. He refused to leave his cage today.
  
  I tried all sorts of things to get him out of the cage but he is not a very motivated bun I was able to coax him off of his box with some hay. He cannot escape the pictures forever!!!
  
  But still look at that cute squishy face! Too bad if you squish it he may eat you.
  
  That piece of hay stayed on his head forever

  Sonn, he is adorable and we can see his eyes! Its just hard to believe that something so cute and so fluffy can get such an attitude . . . . Oh wait, I have Marlee!!! She’s never tried to eat anyone, she just growls and thumps!
  
  Its so hard to tell how big bunnies are from pics. About how much do Gypsy and Monty weigh?

  JackRabbit- I know I was so amazed that he had eyes once his baby hair went away. Lol. Monty gives no growls or thumps before lunging straight at you. He is all teeth and claws. Monty weighs 2.3lbs at 8ish months old he is mostly hair and a tiny bunny under it all. Gypsy weighs 3.6lbs at 6ish months old and is all butt. =P

  I was trying to picture them in relation to my bunnies. Gypsy is about the same size as Kieko so still a fairly small bunny, but Monty is tiny but such a furball! So not fair that he bites because he would be so nice to snuggle! Watch him be a total pushover with another bunny! Haha

  I know LPT! It’s so not fair! He’s so fluffy and soft.
  
  He will let me occasionally pet his head but that’s it.

  I’m just getting back to this thread. So glad to see you and the bunnies, Sonn. I was beginning to think Monty was a true vampire as he couldn’t be photographed!
  They both look lovely and I’m glad you were able to pull Monty out of his post neuter slump. What is it with guys? They just can’t handle anyone messing with their unmentionables. Lol….
  
  Thinking of you and your four legged family members and hoping you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy start to 2015. xx

  MM it is sooooo hard to get a decent picture of Monty! I’ve tried sneak attacks or taking 100000000 pictures but so far the only time I can get an okay picture is if he is eating.
  
  I’ve seen 100’s of rabbits get spayed and neutered and it is almost always the boys that give the most trouble post neuter. Such wimps. Lol.
  
  Gypsy is next then hopefully bonding. That is if Monty doesn’t decide she would make a better snack.

  Monty is a master at avoiding the camera. It’s like he can sense when I am about to take a picture or something. I once tried to get a picture of him and before I knew it he was halfway on the other side of my house.
  
  Gypsy is only a little easier. Her problem is she is never still. I can get a quick picture if I make a weird sound. Lol. If I shake the treat canister I can get one if I am super fast because she pauses for a second before barreling toward me.
