Bunny bonanza!
Right now we have four bunnies in the house -- Cinnamon and Brinco, Anna the foster lop, and Piglet, who belongs to our friend Mary. We're bunnysitting while she's on vacation for a couple of months. Piglet arrived last night and we set him up in my computer room. Anna has been here for about a week and a half.In honor of our bunnyfull household, and to keep Mary up-to-date on the status of her rabbit, I'm going to update this blog more often. Lucky you.
So now...pictures! We'll start off with Cinnamon and Brinco. Cinnamon has had two main hobbies lately -- flopping and digging. The latter activity usually means it's nail cutting time. We tried that, and it held her off for a couple of weeks. Now she's back to the incessant digging, except she's (thankfully) sticking to the rarely-used second shelf litterbox.
Speaking of that litterbox, she got a little too zealous with it during her first round of digging. I heard an insane amount of noise from upstairs, and when I went to check it out, I found this:
Oh no!
More accurately, she had it propped on its (shorter) side and was digging like crazy. Brinco is just there for the show or something. Cinnamon thought the upside-down litterbox was pretty cool, as you can see.
This is what I got to clean up. Thank God for the Shopvac!
Now for the flopping.

Flop!
Flop!
Flop!
Flop!
Flop!
And some snuggling, for good measure.
Brinco has been much more social since we got back from Florida. He is often pettable, something that happened only rarely before January. John can even pet his head to the floor! This is quite amazing.
And then there's Anna. Anna is our foster lop, and she has quite the attitude. This bunny is one of the most pettable rabbits I've ever met. She wants to be petted constantly, and will rest her head on my lap when I pet her. If I stop, she'll either shove her head under my hand or nibble my clothes. Once in a while, when we walk past her pen, she'll jump up and cling to the top of the fence. She even managed to vault over, landing on top of the Shopvac which was sitting two feet away from the fence!
She tends to be a little cage aggressive, but has gotten much better since she's become familiar with me. She's also working on her litterbox training, but has improved in that department, too. She's going on a bunny date this weekend, so I hope everything goes well!
Here are some images of Anna:
Flop!

And last but not least, Piglet. Although he has a reputation of being impeccably litter-trained, he's decided that his new cage requires a poop treatment. That's rabbits for you. We put a mini-wheats box in his cage for him to hide in, but he doesn't seem too interested in it. Although we put a craisin in it earlier, and the craisin is now gone. Hmmm...
Piglet pictures:
"What is that strange light in my face?"
"Do you mind?"
He looks like a miniature Brinco. Right now, he's laying between his food/water bowls and his mini-wheats box, ears back. He even let me pet him today. :)
Stay tuned for more exciting stories from the bunny house!
