Bunny Lovers Chat

OMG, that video is too cute.

Jellybebe - Aww poor baby. Honey's fur gets matted a lot too. I wish our bun's eyes would magically unblock themselves, lol.

Bellapsyd - I have to wait until the chest of drawers arrive for my room, then I just have to rearrange stuff so there's a rabbit sized space & then as soon as I ordered the cubes he can move in!

I love your bunny mansion! It's huuuuge. They must have a lot of fun in there. It's given me a lot of ideas for Honeys new home

Kirsten - OMG!! I am soooo excited for you. I knew your husband would give in. Sounds like they are going to a great new home. I can't wait for you to post pictures of them!

I am so happy you get to adopt and not only one but two!!! Thank You for taking two sweet bunnies and giving them a nice home. I was reading about these poor bunnies on the house rabbit society page last night that need homes and I was so sad I actually cried. I hate to think of all these poor babies that have no home and have been neglected. One day maybe I can adopt more when I actually buy a house and have a permanent place of residence.

The rescue will be coming to my house sometime next week (probably next weekend) to deliver them. I cannot wait to meet them! I am so evil. I finally convinced DH about the bunnies, now I am talking to him about building them a bunny condo out of the NIC cubes. I hope to build their condo in a few weeks. For now I am going to set them up in a spare bedroom we have which is quiet so they can settle in. We have a built-in closet with no door so I am going to block it off with a baby gate. I will put down some carpet and blankies. Once they are adjusted, I'd like to put their condo in our living room or den so they feel like part of the family. I will definitely post pictures once they arrive. Probably TONS!

I second this!!! Thanks so much for providing a loving home for TWO bunnies!! Esp. older ones!

I can't wait to meet them! The rescue hasn't got back to me about the date to meet up. I am just hoping they are busy and will get back to me soon. I am going to start shopping today to get all their bunny needs.

[bellapsyd]

Funny you should choose February to adopt- it's national Adopt a Rabbit Month! :)

[kirsten]

Aww, I didn't know that! What a coincidence!

I went to Target and the NIC cubes are on sale. I bought 3 boxes which were $12.99 each. Only $2 off, but still on sale. They had white, black, blue and chrome. I went with the black. I guess I will start building their bunny condo now and nix the idea of setting them up in the closet with the baby gate. That will be more comfy for them because then they can adjust to their condo and not have to adjust to the closet and then the condo. The top floor is going to be their sunning deck. The third floor will reach a window, so I will set up lots of beds for them so they can lay in the sun. The other two stories will be covered by a wall so they will have lots of shade too. I have a feeling once I start building I'm not going to stop. Probably one day the bunny condo will fill up our whole house. lol. I might have to move into that.

[bellapsyd]

ahh! I can't wait to see it! I know, if I had t he room I would expand the condo even more! Then I just figure that I let them out for at least 4 hours a day to run anyway so a 6ft long 3 story condo SHOULD be enough!

I also go CRAZY buying new beds, blankets, bowls at petsmart and online bunny retail stores (like urban rabbit!). Love spoiling my babies.

Just bought the CUTEST carrier on ebay!

[kirsten]

I am going to attempt building tonight. My husband is out of town and I have nothing to do. Did you use the cubes for the second and third floor? That looks like the most difficult part. Did you use zip ties to fasten the cubes together?

Also where did you get your pink waterer from? It's so cute!

[bellapsyd]

i did use cubes for the 2nd and 3rd floor with zip ties all a round (securing it to the wood base with wheels). Make sure the zip tie edges aren't sharp! Only make shelves on the corners (I MUST add new pictures so you can see my new handiwork!) b/c those are more supported!

Check petsmart in the cat section for the waterer- but I wouldn't recommend it- I eventually stopped using it b/c they get so much fur in their water bowl that unless you plan on changing the waterer everyday it's not worth it!

[kirsten]

What kind of waterer are you using now?

I need to find some pink carpet for the shelves and black & white checkered laminite for the bottom floor. That is how I have their condo envisioned in my mind. Heh.

[bellapsyd]

so very cute! Watch out though in case your bunnies are chewers (like most)- it's bad for them to ingest carpet! (so really low pile is best!)

I use ceramic bowls- like the ones in the dig section :)

[kirsten]

Ok, I will pick up ceramic bowls for their water and food, if it's less messy. Thanks for all your help!

[bellapsyd]

here is a picture of the bowls I use (have the pink princess ones too!)



I thought it would be fun to post pictures of any fun "accessories' you have for your bun. Cool bed? Pretty bowls? Couture carrier? Dainty clothes? Bedazzled collar? ok I'll stop, lol

[bellapsyd]
