he likes sorting his food..by the way, is that common to bunnies?? i always serve his food mixed.. but one day i saw all carrots in one corner, broccoli in the other, and his pellets in one neat mound! maybe he doesn't like his food "touching"?? LOL!

The 2 bunnies together, are Reilly (left) and Olivia (right). Reilly is a Rhinelander and the first bunny we got in August 2004. Olivia is a drawf, and we adopted her in 2005. Her original owners didn't want her anymore because they were getting a dog.

They are my darling little babies. They even have their own room to spend time in, when they aren't out and about in the house.

How adorable. Olivia reminnds me of a chinchilla she is so tiny.

Anyway, I wanted to say that I've seen stuff written about how to socialize bunnies and dogs, you might try on the House Rabbit site if you're interested.

oh, and the bunny condo looks awesome, so much work! Must be close to being done.

LOVE the classic Chanel. so much i'm sick, single mommy budget sick... oh well, I buy their makeup once or twice a year, that and No. 19, still, those are pieces for a lifetime, so elegant, beautiful. Congratulations.

And one last bit, our first bunny, Sally, died from a blockage she got from things she'd chewed on, insulation foam under our water heater. Just wanted to pass that on, with the convo about all the stuff the critters find to ingest... one more thing to worry about...

It's good to be back. This is the best bunch around~

I am so sorry to hear about your dad. hugs

Did the stuff accumulate over time in her belly or was it a sudden thing?

[RaeBelle]

Thank you all of the nice comments about my bunnies. I won't tell them at at once, can't have their little heads getting big

If she is overweight (not sure if she is), her weight loss may be necessary and natural. Here is a great link on food for ya http://www.medirabbit.com/EN/GI_dise...feeding_en.pdf

Thanks for wanting to help with the link.

She was actually a perfect weight. She places in regional fairs, so she was perfect before the feed change. She lost some weight (probably a couple ounces) with the food change, which actually is a food sold by a rabbit breeder who owns a traditional old fashion feed store. (We thought it would be better for bunbun...nope.)

By posting this supplement, I just wanted to point out the importance of fat content in the food for bunnies, and to mention that some bunnies (mine appears to be one) have speedy metabolisms compared to other bunnies and need the fat content in the show rabbit pellets. Fat is an important nutrient and all animals need some, but that is different from the animal being fat.

This link is really specific to nutrients in the pellets and even makes pellet recommendations:
http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-4/pellet-info.html

She never gets iceburg lettuce, cabbage, and other gaseous veggies, since rabbits can't expectorate or pass gas. Once/month she gets pineapple and if she's shedding, then she gets the fresh pineapple once/week. I swear by pineapple...it saved the life of my favorite ever rabbit in the early 1990s when he got impacted from shedding. Sheesh I'm old for this thread...I've owned rabbits for three decades.

[bellapsyd]

^ ohhhh many ladies here swear by pineapple!

[girlvintage]

^^ YES - pineapple combined with loads of grooming is super essential!! i always keep a fresh unopened can of juice at hand for "movement" emergencies.. always get the unsweetened all natural one, not the regular juice drinks filled with additives and sugar!

i also give plain almonds with skin on as a treat specially when he's too sluggish too eat, almonds provide a good source of fiber as well, but limit it as well as it is also fattening!

[ItalianFashion]

I never knew bunnies could have almonds. What other nuts can bunnies have as treats?

[girlvintage]

my vet told me that plain nuts are ok for as long as it's not too much, nuts are a good source of fiber, so i only give as much as the raisins which is average of 4 pieces a day.. peanuts about 8pcs since it's smaller... also it has to be plain, not salted.. if i had a can of salted nuts with me i clean the salt off before giving it to binky..

but always remember these are TREATS and not a regular part of their diet, meaning it shouldn't be given everyday..

i need to add -- sometimes when bunnies get sluggish bec of movement problems they will refuse to eat food and only concentrate on trying to poop, they only eat what they like -- which is anything special like TREATS -- so i use apple wedges and almonds bec binky will never refuse them and i know the fiber from the apples and almonds will move his system well.. and the ever-reliable pineapple juice is ALWAYS given at the first signs of discomfort.

Thanks for that info. I will try out 1 nut and see if he does ok. Luigi loves pineapple. I am going to get some juice to keep on hand in case something happens. Luckily he has not had major stomach issues yet. I am suprised he is so healthy. I have never had an animal that has not had a little something wrong for this amount of time. the petshop were he came from had really great looking animals compared to all of the other petshops I have seen. They just kept them in smaller cages but only 1 or 2 per cage. Maybe this way is better in the pet shop so new bunnies who are sick do not infect all of the bunnies.

Did any of you guys get anything from Saks? I did major damage but I was able to get bags from other designers that I have wanted to try.

[kavnadoo]

Yeah I heard about the Saks sale. What did you get IF? I was just looking at their prada stuff, so in love with prada at the moment. Bought 2 new little prada bags and a pair of choos (my first!) last week. And ordered some knee high prada boots to match my patent gauffre bag which I get to pick up on Monday!

Saks doesn't ship OS right?

I bet the boots and bag will look great on you. The gauffre is nice! I think they ship to Canada but not sure about other places. Some people are getting items sent to family in the US. I bought tons so I will be getting rid of a bunch of old bags. I was able to get some bags I never would have been able to afford full retail.

^ I JUST heard! I really want some CL's. I just opened a Saks card online, BUT now I don't know what to do. I need to wait until Monday for the online sale right? ANd cross my fingers that they don't sell out of my size (37.5).

But I did MAJOR eBay and 2nd hand shop damage this week:

bronze lanvins
vert gazon first (bbag)
aquamarine day regular hardware
sandstone weekender with giant gold hardware
electric blue envelope clutch with giant silver hardware
sapphire coin purse regular hardware

and from a few months ago I FINALLY scored a great eBay find: black MC LV trouville! (very patined but good condition). I'm also watching an amethyst balenciaga wallet on ebay right now...
