i had some chores to do today because i stayed home sick
i dont know why my mmom makes me do stuff when im sick but anyways… i decided to put the x-pen outside and let the buns run around because i had to clean cages and litterboxes… i also had to shovel ect. anyways they were super hyper today because its snowing alot
well twix was running around in her cage and spilled water ALL OVER hershelf
well now she doesnt get to go outside or she’ll freeze so hershey gets extra time outside enjoying my winter wonderland – bunny style
check it out

there is a video but it wont let me upload it ![]()
btw all the stuff on the snow is shavings, hay, and pellets
she was using her litterbox, im soo proud ![]()
thats cute what bunny is the one in the pictures? it was snowing a lot were i live to. haha
its hershey, twix was saoked so i couldnt risk putting her out in that weather
twix is dry now so i put her outside… we have more snow so i filled the pen halfwau with it and i made tunnles its so cute twix loves it
pics soon i have to watch twix so ill add them later ![]()
How long before you put twix outside was she soaked?
An PLEASE do not leave them alone for ANY length of time outside in that pen, its far too unsafe!
i has watching them the whole time (i was shoveling and cleaning cages ect.) and she got wet like 9 hours before
are both bunnys yours?
twix is mine hershey “belongs” to my little sister but i care for her
heres more pics
between me and the bunnies we dug tunnles through the snow![]()
theres more pics to come
why do you take care of her? does she not like her or do you just like taking care of them?
my sister is 10 she doesnt like to actually clean the bunny or even take her out of the cage
oh so she is kinda yours cuz you take care of her.
shh dont say that. my little sister HATES it when i look after hershey, i get away with it because i get up in the morning before her, im home from school before her and im up later at night
oh. haha. so do you have your x pen set up yet?
my mom wont let me
and before i even start doing that i have to litter train them… sigh, my mom has no clue about bunnies
it took me forever for me to convince my parents to even let mine come inside. one of my buns lulu isn’t litter trained ether. are yours spayed/neutered?
nope neither are spayed> another one of those things my mom doesnt agree with. and it took me forever to get my mom to let mine come inside 2
would she let you if you got the money? because my mom didn’t want me to get mine spayed ether.i finaly conviced her and my bun is getting spayed in march(i had to use my own money it was $222 tor her to get spayed)
MirBear, how did you dry Twix off? Just towel dry?
Sorry if I sound a bit.. over bearing. Its just that buns take a very very long time to dry completely, and getting a chill when they are damp can cause a ton of problems. And with your mom not being cooperative, I don’t think you want to have those vet bills to deal with.
she was beside the heater all day and i towel dried her twice
she was completly dry
Ok, good to know
Just looking out for you and your babies ![]()
thanks mb.
its nice to know “SOME” adults care about the well being of their pets *mom* *cough* *mom*
i have a fairly large backyard, and we got LOTS of snow… so i grabed hershey out of her cage, demolished the front yard sculpture and threw my x-pen in the backard and made a new tunnel castel, but i decided that wasnt enough room so i made a huge pile of snow outside the x-pen tunnel castel and made like a mountain out of it so hershey could get out if she wanted to and then made tunnels and pathways all through the yard…. we were out there from about noon untill 8 pm ( with the exception of supper for me and the buns) i shoveled all the way down to grass in some spots. hershey fell in love. and there was a bunny getaway in the tunnel castle.. where i had a blanket and food and water. i could tell it was nice and cozy in there because the water never froze even though the dish of water outside was frozen solid within an hour.
before you get your poking sticks out i have a confession… i forgot to take pics of this amazing habitat! im sorry! ill take pics when i get home on monday if its still standing… (i went away for the weekend… AGAIN!)
After reading this thread, I don’t mean to hijack it and get off topic, but I just have to say how amazed I am at Mocha200. Not only was she struggling with the the same things you are/were and somehow, with persistence, was not only able to bring her bunnies inside, but she also got her bunnies spayed (with the second one scheduled), even with opposing opinions from other people around her, and recently her father made her an amazing indoor bunny cage…… and now she can turn around and help you who is in a similar situation. I just remember all that she had to go through and obviously her parents decided to compromise and so kudos to them too. Yeah for Mocha200 and her parents!!
So MirBear,I also happy to hear that you were able to convince your parents to bring your bunnies inside and hopefully you will be able to spay them sometime in the future. Sounds like you also have an uphill battle, like Mocha had when it comes to spaying. Good Luck to you and if you need any help or advice with that let us know.
Edited: Major typos and goofball sentences (more than normal for me) that had to be changed.
Indeed, BB. Mocha has been great with her bunnies, its nice to see some younger people be so wonderful with pets! I hope MirBear can convince her parents to allow the bunnies to be spayed as well.. good luck!
I agree!
thanks you guys but if it hadn’t been for this website they probably still would have been outside freezing there little buns off.
BB FTW. And you gotta love the bunny tunnels in the snow
I agree with Binky B. — Mocha is doing a great job always asking questions and taking actions accordingly.
