My current TV shows are Dexter, Boardwalk Empire (GREAAAAAT SHOW!), and of course -- Walking Dead! =D I can't decide if it's getting more interesting or sucking... I go back and forth. I think it just depends on where it goes from here in my opinion, could go either way. And what about Rick cutting off the grandpas leg. Gagggg. I'm also finally through the first season of Star Trek: Voyager and on the 2nd...

Also, Crime and Punishment got boring about half way through so I didn't read much at all (if anything really) all week and so last night I picked it up again and what do you know?? Can't put it down again!

Gah spoilers!!! *covers eyes*

In bunny news, Simon does NOT want me to cut his nails. Bah.. this could be a challenge...

hmmm Monkeybun, sounds like bunny burrito time!!! And have the craisins ready to give after for forgiveness LOL

Arrgh... it's too late.... probably wasn't for real though... just a dream.... yeah, Rick had a nightmare or something...

He isn't allowed any treats, he is a seriously overweight bun.

Oh boy, then he'll be pretty disappointed to find out that he doesn't actually get to eat that bunny burrito...

LOL Hazel, Bunny Burrito is wrapping your bunny up in a blankie to do the bad stuff LOL Like letting the vet examine them, toenail trimming and fun stuff.

LOL I know... I guess I should have put a winky smiley there... Well, there IS an edit button... so here we go.

LOL oops

Lol i really love greys anatomy and breaking amish and anything on Nickmom (no not a mom lol) Dr. Pol and as always a good ole episode of roseanne. But If i had a bad day there is nothing better than to curl up with a episode of buffy or angel

Ah! Tanlover! SPOILER ALERT for reals!! You're lucky I watched it tonight before I checked this thread or I would be upset

We watched buffy over the summer on netflicks!

Pretty much all the CBS comedies keep us entertained. Im waiting for Glee to come back (such a loser)

We used to like Glee, in the very beginning. It was funny, but then it just turned into more of a soap opera. That's when we stopped watching. I wish they would go back to what it was at first

I posted this in my thread for Simon in the Welcome forum, but wanted to post it again as I'm worried about my foster bun... his sister died last night I'm going to have to keep a close eye on him for the next while, make sure he's eating and drinking and pooping properly. His sister, Cinnamon, was overweight and in rough shape just like Simon, and her foster mom said she suspects its because she was so overweight and couldn't hop around much without having to flop and breathe heavily after just a couple minutes is what caused her death... Just too much weight for her to handle. Hope Simon can get through this okay Need to get him slimmed down soon!

MB that's so sad. I'm sure you've had Simon checked by a vet by now, so let's hope that your work with him on a good diet will save him.

I'm so sorry Monkeybun! So the foster mom said that she ran too much and then gave out? Well at least you know what to look for and not to let him overexert himself.
Sorry I joked about the bunny burrito, I didn't realize he was in such danger

Yeah, Cinnamon would only hop around for a few minutes, then have to lay down, breathing hard. Poor girl I'll definitely keep an eye on Simon, thats for sure.

One problem with Simon, is that he wasnt fed much hay at the other shelter, so he isnt interested in it at all. Gotta figure out how to get him to eat more of it without stressing him too much

So the vet never really confirmed the appointment for today so we didn't go. Gonna mail her again and ask for an appointment on friday maybe. Bosse is hopping about and acting totally normal he was extra hyper today so I think he'll manage until friday. Just hope I get an answer this time!
Also, Ive gotten sick so I'm gonna stay at my parent's until the weekend. It's good we don't have any obligatory lectures. Just gonna miss two of them anyways. Been babysitting my sick little sister all week, maybe now I'll get a break and actually get some schoolwork done

And Monkeybun, I'm so sorry to hear that. I really hope Simon will be okay. Maybe try a couple of different types of hay and see if there is a special kind he preferres?

I've tried oat and orchard so far, as I can't have timothy in the apartment anymore. He did nibble on the oat a bit, so maybe it will grow on him

AAARGH.... Having earlier mentioned Nermal's tendencies as a Long Eared Land Shark it comes as no surprise that tonight we had "tears before bedtime" Nermie decided she did not want to go to bed.... I left her alone and even then she would not go to bed even when I messed with Frank the Wonder Plushie.. Instead I had to resort to crawling under her cage to catch her, that's when she went Land Shark. I had to defend myself with the remains of her phone book... Finally wrangled the little sod into bed. So what does she do, turns round and begs for Craisins !!!! Of course she got them, it's her nightly reward for going to bed.... Little rat bag. Frank the Wonder Plushie was being placed in the hay for a snack when I turned out the lights (the other night she had sat him next to her salad), no doubt she will deposit him in the litter box just in case he has any plushie bunny calls of nature.

I'm so sorry. It hard when we can help them all but now its time to focus on simon. I hope yourable to find a hay that he likes and maybe once you limit his food he'll get hungry and try it

Sorry for everyone I spoiled that for! I got so excited I didn't even think that some of you may have not seen it! It was definitely a nightmare though...

Monkeybun, hahahaha! Your poor bun! Mine were the WORST to try and figure out how to do their nails. They get out of EVERRRRRYTHING I put them into. The bunny burrito doesn't work with any of them. Even my vet couldn't get my brat into a burrito. For only being 4 lbs, my boys sure know how to kick! If you have someone helping you, you can try my trick! It's half bunny burrito, half holding them between my legs! I sit on the ground on my knees (slightly open) and then lay a blanket over my lap. With a treat we entice them onto the blanket and then BAM -- I quickly grab and shove between my legs. The back of my feet and legs are touching (near my bum) so that when they kick they are only kicking my legs so they can't break their spines and then I put my hand between the two paws slightly holding the head so they can't turn and bite me (learned that one that hard way!!) At the same time I quickly cover their eyes. Covering their eyes seems to calm them down long enough for me to get them into a good comfortable position for both of us and then I hold while my BF clips the nails! They usually fight one of two times doing the whole process but don't let go! (Unless it becomes dangerous for them) and clip clip clip! And then lots of treats afterwards. My buns always coming out with their hair a WRECK! Last time Fleury was shedding and I had hair in my mouth, all over my pants, towel full of hair, everything. Pretty sure I coughed up a hairball after that episode! ;P Also, just read the part about Simon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and sending vibes his way for him to get through this! I can't even imagine watching that poor little bun right now. Do you know if he had time to "mourn" her? I'm guessing they were bonded? I read a lot about bonding bunnies dying (since all 3 of my buns are bonded and it's something that worries me when they get older) and they said the bun should be allowed ample time to sit with the passed bun so they understand what has happened. It's supposed to help with them being separated from the bun so he understands what has happened. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, it just has worried me before and so I hope to be able to help my babies when that time comes... So sad. Binky Free Baby Girl! <3

NikitaSue -- GREYS ANATOMY!! AHHHHH. LOVE LOVE LOVE! Although, I haven't kept up with any of the new seasons! Hmph. I always used to watch the reruns on Lifetime.

Roberta -- I just laughed out loud for a good 10 minutes after reading that post, that's HYSTERICAL! It sounds like my little devil boy, Fleury, when he's feeling all dominant and big bunny. I swear sometimes this brat hasn't been neutered! (Even though he's been rechecked so I KNOW he's good down there!) He'll come out of his cage sometimes with SUCH a little 'tude! He'll force you to pet him and then play big bad dominant bun by knocking your hand away. Then if you stop, he'll drive you insane by nipping your rump. I SWEAR. SUCH Brats these bun buns can be!

So tired lately! Blah. I can't seem to find the energy to do anything! Chores, reading, BB, anything! Not even coffee is helping me! But I can't help but be such a proud little bunny momma! My little Fleury, the one we were having the litter box issue with, is hysterical now! Every time he comes out of his cage he runs straight for his litter box, hops in, then puts his little paws up waiting for a treat! LOL. It's so adorable. He's got getting in the litter box down but I wish those clickers would become available again because it's nearly impossible to get him to realize that I need him to pee without one! I worked up to him getting in just fine -- he caught on tremendously -- but now it's adding the peeing part! I need something to click to show him that's what I want him to do! If I try to give him a treat during he just gets all excited and stops peeing and gets all excited and bounces around the litter box waiting for his treat, LOLOL. The little guy is smart though, gotta give him that!

He had been bonded with his sister, yes. The shelter separated them though, not sure when. He doesn't seem depressed at all though, so that's good. Right now, he is happily tossing his pellet bowl around his pen lol. I think he likes the noise it makes

AWWW, yay for Simon doing good! <3  I'm happy he's not depressed and lucky for him they separated them!  My buns ALL throw their salad bowls around like that too.   I think I may agree with you, they love anything that makes a destructive noise. 

 

He better start eating his hay though!  Or I may have to send down my trio of hay destroyers to show him how it should be done... 

You'd think he'd learn that hay is nommy with the other 4 inhaling the stuff

Monkey - aww I'm sorry to hear that! What you described sounds like it could be heart failure, probably complicated by obesity...but of course, there's no way to know without an autopsy. Rest in peace little bun!

Hello everyone

I'm sitting on the floor with bunny whilst my dinner cooks. Debating whether to give him the end of the aubergine (eggplant) I chopped off, since he's already tried a new food today.

I haven't back-read because there are so many pages, sorry if I waded into the middle of something.

Blah my boyfriend woke up and turned off my alarms this morning so i didn't wake up for my first class. I don't like hi being on 2nd shift lol I want him back on 1st Shift. But o well. Thumper is now completly down to 1/4 cup of pellets and 2 cups on veggie but now he isn't eating his hay. should I reduce the amount of veggie's? and oreo is eating 4 cups on pellets and 2 cups on veggies and more hay than I can shove in the cage O.O i know i know but i'm supposta give her as much as she wants and boy does she take advantage of it.

HI MB, Sorry to hear about Simons sister... She may have had other problems too. Keeping good vibes aimed at Simon that he will decide hay is a good thing and start to shed some weight.

NikitaSue - I know you've already told us before but how much do they weigh again? Could you be giving them too many pellets still? My buns are a little over 4 lbs and get 1/4 cup of pellets with a cup of veggies. I think if they are around 6 pounds they could even get an 1/8 cup pellets and 2 cups veggies. My vet doesn't really like using veggies as much as pellets though. And ours are all insanely hyper and active so I worried about taking them down to an 1/8 until they A) get older or B) stop being so insanely hyper and active. Hahaha. But they all mow down the hay like it's there job still... so unless they start getting fat.... I haven't had to worry about their hay intake AT ALL. Such pigs -- if I did I'd probably start decreasing pellets rather than veggies though.

Anyone can chime in if I'm wrong though, of course!
