Been a while I posted here on the community. Thought I share a video that I recorded a few weeks back.
Enjoy!
First...Here's a video of Latte on my lap.
You can tell he's a bit freaked out from my phone because it's reverse and facing him like a mirror and yet at the same time he's licking/grooming me. I feel so honored!
I had to replace the background noise cause it was a private conversation between my mom and dad. Since this was taken by my iPhone I couldn't change it to portrait when it got transferred to my laptop and majority of the video editing software I have weren't cutting it so I had to d/l an app call Splice via iTunes. I wished I've though up that sooner instead of spending 5 hrs trying to figure it out. My brain must gone out for a drink.
2nd video:
But please check this video out that was only exclusively released for the Nintendo Video on the 3DS. I just want to get these two vids out.
/edit:
For the weirdest of oddities, you can refer to my personal post. It was copied and paste anyway. http://lokcha.livejournal.com/544261.html

Hi fellow bunny lovers! My mom clipped an article from People magazine and gave it to me. It's a short bit about "amazing animals" and Panda the bunny is one! She and Samantha the elderly gorilla are best of friends. Here's a link to the full article, but the bit about Panda is 5th "story" down :)
Enjoy!

My bun Milly keeps burrowing. I move her and Casper's run every day so that they have fresh grass, but she's ruining the lawn and it's annoying. Their run is really big and I daily let them out to play with them in the garden (so I'm guessing it's not boredom) - how can I stop her from doing something so natural to rabbits? She's un-neutered; do you think neutering her would make a difference? Thanks.

I think my bunny is coughing or making some sort of strange noise. He seems to be acting OK; we're holding him and he's kissing us, etc. And he is eating, drinking, etc.
The vet said he might be ingesting fur (he is molting) and to brush him and give him pineapple juice. But that was before we heard this noise!
Um...could it be a fart sound instead?
He seems to be breathing OK. Anyone have a clue what's happening? We may have had an issue with mites (no one was really sure) so could that cause any digestive issues if he eats the mites.
Thank you!

Does anyone know any airlines that are good with rabbits? My two girls and I have to fly across country to get them home. I know United and Frontier allow rabbits in the cabin, which is my preferred way of doing it. I'd like to be able to keep them in the same carrier, if possible. Southwest doesn't allow rabbits. Any other airlines allow rabbits in the cabin in the same carrier? Just trying to think of other options, to get prices I can afford.

The last time I posted here, I had only just gotten Nyx, my little grey lionhead. Unfortunately, it was almost immediately after I got her that my entire world started falling apart. My boyfriend's brother was in a terrible wreck, and I had to leave Nyx with my parents for a week while I went and stayed with him at his house so that he wouldn't be alone. His brother died at the end of the week, and everything just kind of deteriorated from there. We broke up for awhile, I was incredibly upset. I think Nyx knew it, and I think it made her upset. Anyway, my point is that she probably did not get "handled" enough in her formative weeks, and as such she's grown into a very territorial young bunny-lady. She absolutely despises everyone but me. My boyfriend has two little scars on his fingers from bunny-bites, and she's also nicked my mother, my daddy, and my best friend. She just cannot stand anyone to touch her or to reach into her cage except me, and she doesn't exactly love when I do it either. It's hard to make her come to me when it's time to put her back in her enclosure, and it isn't set up where she can get back into it herself--it has to be off the ground so that my mom's dog won't get to it. (I don't know why they're worried, he's afraid of her too.) Part of it is that I haven't had the money to get her fixed yet. I think I will this semester because I'm going to be living at home, and I hope that helps a little, at least with how territorial she is.
Her attitude doesn't really bother me, since she does like me. I call her my guard-rabbit. But my mom's dog recently had a bout of fleas thanks to some stray cats that took up next door. He caught them when mama took him out one day and we've been trying to get rid of them since. I thought they'd mostly stayed out of my bedroom, which is where Nyx stays, but early this morning I caught two hopping on my arm. I'm afraid Nyx has them, but since she's so vicious about being held for more than the amount of time it takes to put her on the floor or into her carrier, I don't know how I can check her for them without chain-mail gloves or something. I don't have the money to take her to the vet even for a checkup, either. (I know how awful that is, but my mom and dad pretty much lived off baloney sandwiches after they took the dog for them, and the only reason they took him at all is because he was having a severe allergic reaction to them.) I haven't noticed her scratching any more than usual, and these are literally the only two fleas I've seen in my room, but I'd like to know if there's anything I can do.
There's a picture under the cut, so y'all can see Princess Fluffybutt.

Hi-
I want to start out by saying that I have called a vet and she said to watch my bun and call her Thursday.
But this is very disturbing to me! Bunsen has been litter trained for two years, and he has been having accidents--peeing inside his house. We just changed the cardboard an hour ago and he went again. Also, his poops are wrong--I don't wanna gross anyone out, so take my word for it. The vet said to make sure he gets timothy hay, his regular pellets and fresh greens. We're doing that.
Some things have been different around here. 1) We gave him new litter boxes b/c the old ones were too small. He seems to be pooping on the floor more during playtime, but not peeing on the floor (not that I know of, though there is a suspicious urine smell in one area of the room...I can't say it's him 'cause we also have two other mammals including a rat that climbs about). 2) He's been mellower lately, lying on the floor during playtime and relaxing more. He still goes nuts around cardboard, binkies and chews at things. 3) We may have a parasite problem. The vet may want stool samples to determine same. We definitely have had some sort of mites with all of our animals and have been using over the counter drops to control it.
However, this peeing thing only started a week or so ago--before we changed to larger litter containers. Any idea what might be happening here? We are under a lot of stress right now in our household--could he be reacting to it?
Please help if you can. Thank you.

Got the test result from Hugos snot, and he's okay. No virus, no bacteria. I think he's been a little less snotty the last few days as well. And no sneezing since we took him to a vet, and he doesn't get extra snotty when he does his laps around the apartment.. So that feels great! :) Don't know what's wrong but at least I know it's not something too dangerous. Just wanted to share!

So I fostered some bunnies for the animal shelter I volunteered at. And now they are my rabbits (no one wanted a bonded pair, and with Easter coming up, I didn't want the shelter to hit capacity with them there). My fiance talked to our families, and me and the buns will be traveling to NY in a few weeks. They'll have a temporary foster home until fiance and I complete the cross country move. They seem very happy - they like my younger cat, my older cat tends to ignore them unless they go up to her directly. They always come up and give kisses when I put my face to their cage (they spend most of their time in it, because of apartment regulations), like to get their oat groats from my hands, and like to snuggle with each other. Momo, the grey bun, likes to be held on laps. Appa, the gold one, would rather go exploring, although she'll snuggle and take pettings when she's on the floor and you're next to her. She just doesn't like being held - she'll tolerate it for a bit, then start digging and nipping on clothes :)
EDIT: The e-card that the bunnies did is apparently still viewable :) If you're curious what the final result of the shoot was, here it is: http://www.americangreetings.com/ecards/april-easter/pn/3333402
Let me know if the link doesn't work.

Quick question since google is failing me.
Can rabbits eat green beans?
Because I've got like a kilo here. Not sure if I should cook all of it tomorrow or save some for the fluffs.

[16 May 2012|11:27pm] |
With the warm weather approaching and my mom having her own garden, I was thinking about starting my own. I've never gardened before but I thought it would be cool, and I would like it to be bunny centric. My mom grows string beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes.
I was thinking of growing herbs and maybe a few other things for my bunny, so what should I plant? Off the top of my head, I can think of mint, basil and parsley.
And here's my bun being his adorable little self:
He's such a loaf. A cute, cute, bunny loaf.

What can I do for my bored bunny?
He has a lot of cardboard tubes, boxes, etc, to chew on and knock over. And he does play with them. But lately it seems like he just wants to get into forbidden areas of the kitchen!
We do stop and pet him/hold him/give him treats. I don't know what else to do, though.
I am open to suggestions!

I don't really know what happened, but I noticed some blood on Hugos back paw. I looked and saw that his whole claw has been torn off. The pulp (I'm not sure of the english word here and can't find a translation, it's "pulpa" in swedish so I'm just assuming) is still there though. The thing you look out for so you don't hurt it when you trim their claws. It looks like this: http://vovve.info/carin/bilder/120327_pulpa.jpg (not nice picture) but that's a dog so Hugo's is of course a lot smaller. It's tiny, a little bit bloody but it's not bleeding anymore. :/
What do I do? I have a vet appointment tomorrow morning for his sniffles, but is this very dangerous and do I need to do something about it now? Will it heal? Will the claw grow back? :(
I'm cleaning his cage/toilet so that it's completely clean, and then tomorrow vet. But in the meantime, should I do something? He doesn't seem too bothered by it, but I'm worried it'll get infected. :/
ETA: This post got stuck in the queue, so Hugo has seen a vet for this now. :) They say to keep his cage clean, and that there is still a small part of his claw there so it'll grow back in a couple of months.
