#rabbit update

Hello! Happy- uhh couple months late answer! Hahh. The app never notifies me of asks🙄 but! The bun army is doing SO GOOD theyve all been spayed and theyre happy healthy, beautiful and powerful! I cant believe im able to take care of them all by myself! It was overwhelming at first but now i got a good routine going, and buns are smart so they know when its time for bed! And the chinchillas are doing great as well. They just chill and sleep all day but i still make sure their cage is clean. Mocha and the other buns are still separated, but im working on bonding them. I give them time to interact with a gate inbetween them. Can you believe i am a man that owns NINE PETS. All indoors! It doesnt even smell like a barn or anything. Theyre all so quiet that you'd never even know.

soooo i think i made a post about this last week but i can’t remember and i’m too lazy to check.

last week we started breeding our rabbits, and it was... an experience. the does weren’t having a very good time, but the very first day they were introduced with the buck, he, well, did his job. if you know what i mean.

now the strange part is after this, he stopped showing interest in them both completely. full stop. he won’t do anything to either of the does.

it’s been a week, and he absolutely will not breed with them again, and we’ve tried everything. so this is leading us to believe that they’re pregnant. the gestation period of rabbits is only about 30 days, so if they are pregnant, they’re like a quarter of the way done already.

so now we need to see if they’ll let us weigh them (way easier said than done) get some electrolytes for their water (making babies takes a lot of water, and we don’t want them to get dehydrated) and get the nest boxes sorted out. 

When I got a rabbit I was expecting an animal similar to a hamster. After doing the research and finally coming to the decision of inviting one into my life I can see how vastly different they are. Rabbits certainly have their own personalities and I’m so fascinated by Bella that I can literally sit three hours straight and watch her enjoy her free roaming time. I laid out a blanket and got on my phone just to pass the time while Bella exercised and she fucking

This is day two of having her.

My heart melted. 

She loves my cat. My cat loves her. They play with each other and enjoy relaxing in each others’ company.
