Counting the days till the neuter...so we know if these two can work it
out!

Miriam...I just checked your bunny page again...you are amazing!  I
can't imagine how you do it with so many...having two just about kills
me rightnow....and if they don't get along and stop the messes....I will
go crazy!  I have no time for anything but them right now!  And an aside
with Onyx...what an amazing experience she is going through..and not
giving up...she is one special bunny!  Hang onto her!

Hello Rhonda,

I'm behind on the group -- but congratulations on your new little
friend! I read your first email about him and thought "she's going to
get him, this was meant to be". I was very happy to read your second one
that he was with you, out playing by the lake.

As for doing the right thing, I've had doubts every time we've brought
home a new pet. It upsets the applecart and I think -- what have we
done! It was so calm before this! It takes time and belief in your new
little guy. Somehow, you look into their eyes and know that you can
perservere. They need you, and they don't know quite yet how to be a
good bunny. All they know is that they're e***d, have a new home, a
new friend, and many, many places to mark as their very own! Whoopeee,
let the good times roll!

 > and my husband said it right...this little guy smells like

Mauli is a good name, Hawaiians are very laid back so there's hope on
the horizon for Mauli.

I would ask the vet about the wet nose. Both of our current rabbits got
damp noses when I brought them home, and they did not have them at the
rabbit rescue. They will occaisionally still get damp noses -- I really
think it's allergies or other smells (maybe the cat litter box). The vet
said she did not believe either one had respiratory infections. I'd just
talk to the vet and watch for white discharge.

Keep us posted about what's happening there, and good luck to Mauli on
Wednesday!

I really think you did the right thing.  I really had my doubts after we
brought Marvin home.  Molly hated him, for one thing.  A neuter and several
car rides later, we are making a lot of progress, though.  I think the
neuter will make a really big difference.  In the meantime, you have the
chance to get to know another bunny.  That's been the fun part here.  Marvin
is Molly's opposite in many ways.  He cracks us up all the time with his
puppy antics!
The pee...oh yes, the pee...you'll be relieved to know that has slowed down
here.  I put another litterbox in the livingroom where they decided they had
to go. (We're now a 4 litterbox house-ugh!)  That helped a lot-now they at
least have a target.
I'll be looking forward to your updates!

Kathryn...yes I suppose I could use another cage...but I figured that
this one would be okay...besides...Misha doesn't use it anymore
really...at least not the top caged part..he just used the bottom
tray...who knew he'd be so spoiled and selfish!;-)  
Mauli was out tonight with us...sans Misha who had to stay in the
bedroom...Mauli was so cute..he was out for about an hour...and jumped
in his litterbox when he had to go... but he seemed so happy to bounce
around the livingroom over and over again..but he really wanted to come
up to us..for a quick pat and then he was off again.  It was nice to see
himso well behaved and happy.  Yes I know Misha isn't too happy...but he
is so spoiled and cage free... I really hope he'll like having a friend
eventually....three more days till the neuter... interestingly
enough...when mauli is out of his cage..he isn't nearly as hot to trot
as when he is in his cage...

BTW...do all baby bunnies have excess cecals?? Mauli seems to have a
lot sticking around here...or perhaps it is just really runny poop..but
it looks more like cecals.... What is he getting too much of then?  He's
on unlimited timothy hay and pellets....and very few veggies in the
morning...

Ps...do others with mini lops have waterbottles or bowls...Mauli has a
bowl but his ears seem to hang in it??

My Harriet Bunny does this too.  I think it may be the pellets,
because she has done this ever since I've had her.  She's about
6 months now, and I'm starting to cut down her pellets.  The
problem hasn't gone away, however.  If you ask me again in
another month, maybe we'll have an answer.
