First Walking

She is 7 month old and already adult but she only weighs 2lb 4oz.
Lionhead's weight is supposed to be from 3lb to 3.5 lb.
Poochie is still too tiny.

Since spring has come, I took her out for short walking in the park.
She was a nervous but hopped around about 30 min.

I bought more safer and nicer new rabbit walking jacket for her.

But it was too big for her especially on her neck.
I tested on her in my room, she went crazy to try to take it off.
So, I used the same harness with my old rabbit and she seems to be better with it.

New Year

She is doing well!
Here are some recent pics of Poochie.
Her weight is still around 1lb. 15oz.

Shoulder bun again

Today's weight 1 lb 12.7oz

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.

Photography

Today's weight 1 lb 11.6 oz

She is very temperamental and sometimes she thumps without any reason.
I tried to take picture of Poochie with semi-studio setting. I used Christmas Stocking. She was upset but got sleepy in warm socks....

She ate some carrot leaves and Italian parsley today.

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.

Rabbit massage

Today's weight 1lb 10.9 oz

I bought a rabbit massage book and Poochie looks like she loves the massage.

I tried to take good pictures but it is difficult! First of all, I can't put her on the floor since she would run away.
I put her on a chair but she is trying to jump up or down... And her hair is kind of messy even though I did comb her. But she is still cute.

Today's Poochie

Today's weight 1lb 10.3 oz

Thanks to alphalpha hay and probably mixed pellets,
her weight is slightly picking up.

She loves cuddling!

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.

The day after election

Today's weight: 1.87

Poochie is same as always. She hates to wait outside during cage cleaning every night.
She thumps a lot lately.
Every time she thump, I pick her up and tell her "don't do it".
She is still skinny and not eating pellet so much (Buddy was eating like crazy).
I am thinking getting another type of pellets.
For the time being, I am adding a little bit of rolled oats that she loves.







I am loving Banana!
