Color change

Today's weight: 1 lb 12.7 oz.

Poochie's hair is shedding and new brownish hair is growing on her back. She is getting more inpatient when I am holding her.. She tries to jump up on my shoulder and go over the other side. She is trying to find the way to jump, but it's too high for her.

Shoulder rabbit

Today's weight 1.11

Poochie climbed up on my shoulder and I was able to stand up.
Last night was really cold about 20 degrees F.
I turned on heater that I bought from online last month. It is Small animal heating pad sold at Amazon.


It has a thermostat and temperature goes up to 100F.
I hanged on the side of the cage so that it does not get too hot for her.
However, it makes a very small annoying noise and surface is not smooth since it has a logo on surface.

Thumper

Today's weight 1.99

Can you see her hair is getting longer?

She still thumps even if there is nothing wrong. She may be suspecting that I was going to pick her up.
I am very frustrated and try to make her stop this "Bad manner".
It seems it is not working.. She is a spoiled brat.

Her weight gains is still slow.
So, last week I got her alphalpha hay from Sweet Meadows just to give it to her as a side.
She likes it more than timothy hay, but she eats both of them.

Also, I got her Sweet Meadow pellets too. Oxbow pellet 15/23 is very good but I don't know if it is the best appetizing pellet.
Our last lionhead rabbit, Buddy, was eating Sweet Meadows' pellet and he grew so fast (he was more than 2lb 5 oz at 3 month which is the same age as current bun).
So, now we mixed two kind of pellets just to see if she would eat more.
Well, she liked it at first, but after several day's observation it seems that Poochie does not care too much which kind of pellet so far.

Jumping moment!

Today's weight: 1.80



She can jump so high! It's hard to take picture of her jumping but I finally caught a moment.








Here is picture of her in a tissue box!

Playful rabbit

Mmmm... feels good!













I love this tunnel!

















Munching hay in the tissue paper box


















Is there anything for me?


















Gimme!!!









Today's weight: 1.70

Her weight is not increasing for several days, and it worries me .
I got her local meadow hays (only 2.99 and very fresh!) the other day, but it seems like she likes timothy hay better.
It's good thing considering timothy hay is more ideal for rabbit.

Yesterday, the vet checked Poochie again and confirmed lice are gone!
But she is scratching herself often, so we keep watching her.

Today, she was very playful. When she saw me calling her, she jumped out from the cage and
climb up my knee and gave me kisses.

I have a tunnel made from IKEA plastic bag storage ($1). She enjoys it.
I took a lots of picture but it's hard to take good picture when Poochie is moving around.
Her eyes are really red in flash or even daylight. I have to Photoshop it using a red eye reduction tool but sometimes it does not work since her eyes are even yellow sometimes!

Sweet girl

Here is the movie of her eating pellets. She put her paws on the edge of bowl! How cute!

She is very affectionate. This morning, she licked my hand for the first time.
I was cleaning up her pee and she started licking my fingers.
It may be the face cream left on my fingers that attracted her.... I thought.

But later at night, she licked the sole of daddy's feet!
Eek!
It's very funny.

I know not all bunnies like to lick because they are not dogs.
But some rabbits do as ways to show affection.
When they lick you, they are grooming you.

Day 3

She did her first binking last night. Running and hops around in the circle happily.

The first day

This is our new lionhead rabbit, Poochie.
She is so tiny and weigh only 1lb.
We choose her because she was the least timid one among 3 other rabbits in the same cage.
And she has nice gray fur.

She is still scared a bit and she likes to face the corner of the cage.
