Bunny love

Bunya and Ethel were shilling for extra treats. They got tired of waiting so Ethel assumed the position (under Bunya's mouf) and got some lovin' from Mr. B.

Ethel learns to take her meds

A leap forward in giving Ethel her meds!

Both Ethel and Bunya are on meds. Bunya takes his no problem.

Ethel still had to be picked up and "forced" to take the syringe of meds, although we did not have to burrito her. They each get a piece of their favorite treat (a Probios) after they take the medicine.

In this video (~15 seconds), she takes her meds and gets her treat without having to be picked up, just like Bunya!

Bunya ran into the kitchen to get his. The gate to the pen was open but Ethel took hers through the fence; she perceives it as extra protection against getting picked up. Most of the time, she follows Bunya into the kitchen.

Yay, Ethel!

Snuggle Bunnies

After an exhausting "No live bunnies for Easter" campaign, Ethel and Bunya are relaxing in their favorite box (under their elevated princess bed).

Poe's human has set a high bar - hope the main course is impressive, too.

GHRS Holiday Party

The Georgia House Rabbit Society holiday party in pictures. For more, see the GHRS Facebook page and the FB page of Bree the Bunny.

The mayhem of Hoppy Hour

There was a whole lotta' chinin' goin' on.

New acquaintances were made.

A brief scuffle or two if someone wanted to be alpha bun, but if they were persistent, they were put in an official time out.

Here are the cute bunnies...

These two beautiful bunnies imitated Lady & the Tramp, but over a dried kudzu leaf.

Cousins to a Tribble?

This scofflaw decided she would be a rebel and chew up the time out sign.

Some were relaxed enough to lay down.

One little bunny claimed a litter box for himself but was happy to share with and sniff the company that dropped by...

At one point, a LOT of company dropped in, including some hefty sized buns. Look closely to see him in the litter box - there are four bunnies inside it and he's the third from the left (or right, if you include the bun not in box).

Finally, some privacy away from the crushing crowds.

Other litter box friendships were established.

Some bunnies just wanted to be pet by the human bunny bouncers (Hoppy Hour Enforcers).

.

This big beautiful bunny parked herself to one side, under a chair and off the towels, rugs and mats that most of the bunnies played on.

There was cuteness everywhere you looked.

And GHRS gets the best Santa Paws to pose with the bunnies for Christmas pictures.

There was a Hop Shop for those last minute bunny gifts and even a vendor offering bunny box subscriptions, Rabbit's Paradise.
Sample holiday box

A grand time was had by all, bunnies and humans alike!

(You may think that was a lot of pictures - there are so many more cute bunnies, but I'll stop now.)

Anxious for Santa Paws

Meme says:
Wookie: Those trees are here again.
Tilly: I see... very pretty.
Wookie: Well, then, where are all the treats and toys? And the paper and boxes to chew?
Tilly: Have patience. The holiday is not here yet; the humans have Prime for 2-day shipping.
Wookie: I think Santa Paws is a human scam.
Tilly: If we get mass quantities of treats and toys, do you care?
Wookie: Point taken.

Ethel bossing her bowl around

This is the bowl in which the bunnies get their dried willow leaves.
It was empty.
Ethel does not like empty.

She has taken to bossing their food dishes around; we will find them shoved under the ramp to their castle tower or in their tunnel. She will turn it over and sometimes eat the little bits that come out from the bottom of the bowl. Then she'll flip it back over and see if there is anything she missed, or if more has magically appeared.

Hay is a necessity for bunnies

Bunnies should have access to unlimited hay 24/7, along with clean fresh water. Primarily, Bunya and Ethel eat Timothy hay; we get the first and second cut from Small Pet Select. To change things up, we get them a variety of "treat" hays (but not alfalfa - they are way too old for that).

[Disclosure: Rabbit Ramblings, its bunnies and its humans have no ownership or financial interest in Small Pet Select.]

We just got a new cut of hay, Small Pet Select's "third cut". To see if the bunnies liked it, I put it in its own bowl. It was a bedtime treat.

"Before"

What I found the next morning:

"After"

I formed a hypothesis that... just maybe, perhaps, it could be... they liked this new "flavor".

And to test this hypothesis, filled the bowl up again.
Then add bunnies. (Actually, they added themselves as soon as I put it down).

Of course, silly human that I am, I put the best pieces of hay in the bottom of the bowl, so they had to fluff it up to access those. (Will have to develop another study sometime, to see what makes that perfect piece of hay.)

Here's video of bunnies eating hay. Watch as much as you want - it doesn't change much:
select piece of hay, chew it, select another.
