Welcome! OMG ! He is so adorable and you got a pic of him sleeping! My favorite bunny pose! Give him kisses for me.

Maybe he is marking his territory or just thinks the sofa is his litterbox. I hope he did not ruin your sofa! I know their pee stains things because it is like a rust color. Maybe a blanket on the sofa when he is out. Luigi does the same thing. He poops and pees in his litterbox but when in the living room he thinks the sofa is the litterbox. He will not poop on the floor he jumps up on the sofa poops and then jumps off.

That is great! So many people buy bunnies and do not know how to treat them or think they are just pets for kids and expect the kids to do all the work and do not supervise interaction. People also think the bunny can live its whole life in a cage. Make sure to mention about letting them out to run , right type of bedding, and no cages with wire bottoms no iceberg lettuce and the importance of having an emergency fund for urgent vet care. Im sure you know what to say so I will shut up! I use to do this type of thing for guinea pigs and breaks my heart how people treat these little animals.

I appreciate the reminders! I need to make sure I hit the high points! I'm bringing pictures of my bunnies house to show as an example of proper housing!

Nope, luckily it didn't stain since our sofa is leather & we got it right away! I think I'd of been dead meat if he stained it since our sofa's only a few months old! He comes on the sofa every night though & only poops occasionally (maybe once a month) & has never peed! So hopefully it's just a blip. The blanket sounds like a good idea though, thanks!

Ok- finally here are the pictures of Lexi and Raf's home. It's the pink one!

omgblonde · Mar 8th, 2008, 01:41 PM

I LOVE their cage, looks like there's lots for them to play with!

jellybebe · Mar 8th, 2008, 04:49 PM

Hi Niseixtenshi! It's been a while since we've chatted! I love Turbo, he bears an uncanny resemblance to Evander! Seriously, even his ears are a bit long for an ND's! SOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh and Bella good for you for giving a speech about humane treatment of bunnies! Hope it went well!

ItalianFashion · Mar 8th, 2008, 06:02 PM

The cage is nice Bella. The pink bed and blanket and all the toys! What is that thing in the last pic that looks like a wicker tent? Where did you get that? Luigi loves wicker and rope things. He had a rope ball with the bell and unwinded shredded half of it in about 1 night. I want to build one of these cages so bad after seeing everyones pics. I will have to ship some of these cubes to italy. I could just leave an opening in the cage so he could go in and out.

Do any of you have any ideas for this. Our balcony is concrete and has these openings at the bottom. What could I put up that would make it safe for him to wander on the balcony? Pic of balcony is below. It is off the living room and we often leave the doors open in the spring through fall during the day. When he is out I shut them but would like for him to be able to go out there safely.
