Feedback: Bunny C & E (A1)

Hi Jennie,

Oh my gosh, I love my sweet princesses. You did such a wonderful job w/ them, that is for sure. They greet me at their cage, I pick them up and carry them around, we have pet/kissy sessions (I'm constantly kissing them on their precious heads) and play time in the large pen/play area. I love them so much and they seem so happy to be together too. I ended up naming them Cei Cei and Mei Mei hee hee, cute huh? Cei Cei for the obvious reason, the first bun I was planning to get, so in my mind I would say "Bunny C C" and I thought it would be adorable for their names to rhym. They are both using the litter box. I put kiln dried pine shavings in their box and they've been using it. My sweet bun Lyle uses his so I thought they'd use theirs too. Lyle keeps trying to impress his new sisters by doing binkies in front of them. He is georgeous and he knows it! The girls are so mild mannered, they do the polite thing and watch his little show he he. Also the girls drink out of their water bottle. At first I was putting in a dish of water as well as the bottle because I forgot to ask you if they had been drinking out of a water bottle. They are doing just great and I appreciate your kindness and how sweet you are w/ the bunnies. I could tell when you brought them to me how loved you made them feel because they looked so comfortable and at ease in your arms. Thank you for my sweet girls that I love so much!

Good luck w/ school. You'll be a wonderful veterinarian!

"OMG.
We love our little bunny. Ani and I are very grateful and we always say what a amazing job you did raising her. She loves to be picked up and held, but is content being in the cage. She actually acts like a little dog and follows us around but loves just watching tv with us.

Thank u sooo much."

Feedback: Bunny B (A1)

Hi Jennie-

We just wanted to e-mail and update you about the bun we took home this past weekend. We named him Hamilton, and he is doing great! He is so incredibly friendly! I was a little apprehensive because most of the rabbits I remember being around when I grew up would nip and bite and were terrified of humans for the most part. He is incredibly snuggly and friendly and is adjusting to his new environment wonderfully. We have two cats at home and he tries to play with them as if they were giant rabbits. Just last night he was binking around the living room trying to get the cats to chase him. They were a little confused though and just watched. Our female cat treats him like a kitten and is already snuggling with him and cleaning him. We couldn't be happier with his temperament and incredibly soft coat. You did a great job warming him up to humans, and he is going to make a wonderful addition to our family. (Also thanks for the hint on the wire bottom cage, its perfect!)

[Week 6: More picture updates]

[Week 5: Day 31] Little ANIMALS!

I'm pretty sure I shouldn't really be calling them babies anymore, because these guys are growing so quickly! They're actually starting to look like little ANIMALS now, and not just little bundles of fluff.

Bunny A & B are in weaning right now, as I've separated them from their mother and into a separate cage. The other 3 [the smaller ones] will be taken out day by day, so that by next week - they should be all completely weaned. The purpose of taking them one day at a time, is so that TinkTink can comfortably transition out of lactating.

These little bunnies are as cute as ever, and I'm not going to waste any time trying to explain in words - so here's another video! Enjoy. (;

[Week 5: Day 27]

Here are a couple of mini BIOs for these little guys as they're growing into their personalities. [To enlarge the pictures, just click on them!]


[Bunny A: Buck]: This little orange guy is truly a Mama's boy. Much like his mother, he's very friendly and loves being pet. Whenever I open the cage to place more food in their bowls, Mama and Bunny A are always the first to run towards the door, and dip their heads to be pet together. Not only is this guy friendly, but his handsome coat is a bright orange - that these pictures unfortunately don't do justice of! [My camera tends to dilute the colors in certain lightings.] In addition, Bunny A is growing more quickly than the others, and his big floppy ears are one of his many adorable attributes.


[Bunny B: Buck] This little guy is my favorite to take pictures of, not only because he loves to strike poses and pause for good pictures, but also because he has the most interesting colored coat of the bunch. The top of his coat is a chocolate brown, but the back of his head and his undercoat is a soft orange. In addition, he has cream-colored rings around his eyes, his feet and underbelly. As the weeks progress, his coat continues to reveal different shades of colors that I did not expect to see. In addition, this little guy, much like his parents - loves to be held and pet on the head. Being one of the more active ones, he loves to jump around the cage and onto his siblings, causing a chain of bunny hopping reactions. [View the video in my previous post to see this =) .]


[Bunny C: Doe] Little Bunny C loves cuddling. She likes to sit in laps, and be pet on the head, and will show you this by running towards you and dipping her head (see bottom right picture of the comic). She not only looks almost exactly like her mother, but she also loves to groom her siblings around her, much like her Mama did when she was younger. Bunny C will be one of the smaller ones, as she is the 2nd to smallest of the bunch. She's so small and portable, and loves to hang out in sweater pockets for rides. Bunny C will most likely be an affectionate and docile little girl, and if you're lucky - she'll groom you with her little bunny kisses too!


[Bunny D: Buck]This fuzzy little guy is one of the most interesting babies in his litter. He certainly resembles his father (Emilio, the Lionhead) and has obviously inherited the gene from his father's mane. As you can see in these pictures, the mane around his head is growing around the neck and face - which is going to look very pretty when he grows up. His ears are much shorter than his siblings, meaning his physical attributes will resemble more of his father. However, he inherited his orange and white coat from his mother, and much like both of his parents - he is also very affectionate and curious. Never afraid of new people approaching him, this curious little bunny likes to explore, and be pet on his cute little lion-head.


[Bunny E: Doe] This little girl loves to snuggle and cuddle, and can always be found right in the middle of the huddle. She loves to be held, and as you can see in the bottom pictures of the comic - she definitely keeps herself clean! She's always grooming her fur, and also likes to groom her siblings as well. She has grown to be the family favorite, as she is very docile and calm when being held, and loves to pose for cute pictures. This little girl has speckles of different shades of brown on her back, her ears, around her eyes, and one little speck next to her nose (see bottom left picture of comic). She is the smallest of the bunch, and certainly one of the sweetest as well.
[Bunny E is still available!]

[Week 3 Day: 19]

So, needless to say - the babies are getting cuter and cuter as expected. They're getting so fuzzy and are beginning to show affection, as they groom their siblings. All of them enjoy being pet on the head, and have started to learn how to escape from their nestbox. Sadly they don't know how to get back in, so I've been having to check every couple hours to see which ones I need to pick up and put back in. It's funny, because they keep chasing Tinkerbell around the cage for more milk when they've escaped.

Anyways, so TinkTink was really dirty today for some reason, so I decided to give her a bath (which she absolutely hated, and ended up kicking water all over the place. Note to self: never give her a bath in a light colored t-shirt ever again) And as she was drying, I decided to take her outside into the outdoor cage for her to enjoy the sun at the same time. Then I brought the little kids along for them to enjoy their first day outside as well. They didn't seem to be so excited with their new surroundings, but they did enjoy munching on the grass.



P.S. - Thanks to all of you who have been interested in these bunnies. The last one I have left, is Bunny E, who is still in need of a home for this Spring. Please email me at tai.jennie@gmail.com if you are interested.


Hello. Take me home, Pls!

[Week 3] Opened Eyes!

Their eyes have opened, and they will be leaving the nest soon - as they are starting to nibble on pellets and hay. I'll be able to determine their genders soon, and will have lots of more info coming up this week, so stay tuned (;

[Week 2: Day 12]

Enjoy!

[Week 2: Day 10]

What we're looking forward to this week is:
1) Opening eyes!
2) Determining gender (Finally.)

In addition, these kits will be growing furrier and furrier by the minute, and should be little puff balls very soon. I can't wait!

Here's a whole bunch of updates with videos and pictures, enjoy!

Pictures:






P.S. - I was holding Bunny B, (helping it become used to human hands) - when it decided to pee all over me instead. They pee a lot for little fuzz balls!

[Week 2: Day 9] Mini Sausages

So it's Day 8-9 (I'm writing this really late/early) And today is the day that the little kits should start to open their eyes! Unfortunately, I will be in Philly for the day, but I decided to post this video to keep you all updated on how these little sprouts have been progressing.

They're starting to be able to move their ears around, and have gotten a lot bigger and chubbier.

Tink just finished feeding them about a half hour ago, so I decided to take a little video of them napping after their meal, because it was so cute. Plus, when they're hungry, they hop all over the place and start a frenzy of squeels when I put my hand in the box.

Anyways, Enjoy!

P.S. - Thank you to those of you who have been interested in these babies! This little update is for you (;

[Week 2: Day 8] The fuzzlings

[Click on each comic to view its' larger form]

[Week 1: Day 6] Colors

As the fur is growing out, you can see the little piglets turn into mini bunnies (: The colors are a lot more visible now, and these little nuggets are lively and feistier as ever. I put one hand in there, and they all started jumping at each other, thinking it was milk time. They get so excited when they sense that their mother is around them. I decided to have one of them (the orange one) fed, because it was looking smaller than the others, so I put Tink in the cage, when they all started to get super excited and hopped all over the cage. As three of them were being fed, the other two were wandering off, trying to find their mother after they had scrambled outside of the nest. Crazy beeans.

It's been a couple days, so I cleaned the cage, and put in a new nest. Hopefully this won't confuse Tink, but she's bright and fearless... earlier today, she attacked my poodle, JJ for being in the same room. Which was really funny, because.. who does she think she is? She's half his size!

OK ANYWAYS - here's the cuteness. And yes, they're all healthy and well fed at the moment. (:

If you are interested in purchasing any of these rabbits, or have any other questions - you may email me here: tai.jennie@gmail.com

P.S. - I'm particularily excited about how Bunny's A and D are going to turn out, as they both resemble a light orange color, which is pretty rare (: and also really really cute.

[Week 1: Day 2]

Here's papa bear, mama bear, and the kids.

So far, all the babies are still healthy and wiggling around, which is good. (: I can't tell if there's any peanuts (aka the runts of bunnies) in the litter, but if there are then we'll see in the next couple of days. I really don't think there are any, because they all look healthy, and lively.



Enjoy!

[Week 1: Day 1] NEW KITS!

I am SO EXCITED right now..

So Tinkerbelle just had 5 new babies, and I'm so excited! This is her second litter, and I'm so happy that they made it and that they're all healthy. A couple months ago, she had a litter of two that did not make it, unfortunately.

I'd also like to say that these baby bunnies are going to be the THE CUTEST bunnies ever, as the mother is a holland lop, and the father is a lionhead. I'm going to post pictures of them soon, but what you basically get as an outcome is a bunny with lop ears that has the mane of a lion. It's also known as a lion lop.. which looks like this.

From what I can tell, one of them is going to have black spots, and while most of them are light, there's one that's really dark.

It's the first day, so please keep them in your prayers. (:

Born March 4, 2009

For those of you who are interested in buying one, I'll have more information about them up as the week progresses. At this point, they won't be ready until early May of this year.
