        Back after 8ish weeks of school craziness. Settled back into the routine now so I can get on BB more often again!  Anyway, I thought this could be a fun little thread where we talk about the little quirks and such that really makes our buns special. I don’t mean all the cliche things like ‘you love them cause you have to, you’re a bunny slave’ I mean the special things. 

        For example, I love the way Apollo smells. He just has this special smell about him…it’s comforting. Maybe I’m just weird, but still. What little things make your bun special?

          I can’t really pinpoint what it is about Ziggy. All I know is I can’t help but smile when I see him. He has this calming effect on me.
          I have to say though, I do love the random 2am nose rubs to wake me up. Then he proceeds to binky all over the bed. He just seems so happy I can’t be upset or annoyed.
          And the rare time when he follows me around the apartment, my heart just melts.

            I LOVE the way Lola follows me around! I love that all I have to do is sit down somewhere and it never takes more than a minute or two before she hops over and pushes that little nose up against me for some attention.

            I know what you mean about the smell bunnygirl. To me Lola smells like summer (I think it’s the hay lol) and where I live any thing that smells like summer is rare most of the year!

              I love the smell too. Some days, I just bury my face in their fur and smell them. Weird, I know. But they smell like hay and clean linens. The little tails and mouths, the way they hop. Squee!

                I love the way Lulu comes to comfort me. Even though she can drive me insane, she always can sense when the tears are about to come. She will get on my lap and lay on me and give me sweet little bunny kisses

                  Ziggy smells like baby because I use a dry shampoo (baby powder scented) for rabbits on him. haha!

                     Don’t like all the snow you just got?

                    Bunnies just smell… Clean! There’s nothing not to like.

                      Nessie is just so beautiful. Not just in the cute-bunny way of being cute, but she could be in movies if she were a person kind of beautiful. Of course she breaks up the seriousness by doing regular cute bunny things. I also love how she seems to know what I am saying sometimes and how she follows me down the hall when I first let her out in the evenings.

                      Ollie, I love how he jumps up on the couch. It’s a big jump and he’s a little bunny. He does it all the time, he loves jumping up there. I also love his popcorn binkies which he does almost every night. They’re so wild and they come out of nowhere. I also love the way he settles into my lap when I’m petting him. Nessie almost never cuddles unless I coerce her, but Ollie will stay in my lap for ages.

                        Oh, and I have to add, watching a bunny eat lettuce just brings a smile to my face. It doesn’t matter how bad my day was, it’s just so cute to see them munching away all happy on a leaf as big as their face

                          Heca — Not at all!!!! Ugh! We had grass in our front yard on Sat. A few spots of snow still where the piles from the sidewalk and driveway ended up but now it’s all covered in 12+ inches again. Oh and for added fun….ANOTHER STORM WATCH for tonight and tomorrow. They say this one will go more south of us so we shouldn’t get much snow but really?!? Do we need even another inch? Ok I know I choose to live here for the most part, but even I have to say that I’ve had about enough of this winter.

                              I’m going to have to pass on the smell. While mine usually smell like sweet bunnies, Moshi has a need to open his scent glands when he’s startled and smells like a skunk for a few minutes!

                              Personally, I love the way my bunnies get excited when I walk in the room and the way they “mosh” (my son’s word – kinda means mush down into a squishy soft ball) down when I pet them. I melt when I look at those sweet faces. Kieko, I love her eyelashes!

                                OMGOSH Me too!

                                I thought I was crazy! But I loved the way Muffin smelled. I would sniff his fur and he smelled so comforting. I also just feel so asleep when I snuggle him… Can’t explain it, he just makes me so calm…

                                  I am on a mission to make a “Bunny Fur” scent air freshener. As well as an “Oxbow Botanical Hay” scent.

                                    Hmm, Leopold always smells faintly of litter. o_O That’s because he likes to lounge in the litter all the time.

                                    What I love most is walking by and seeing my boys cuddling together. They are just so adorable, I want to run in there and squeeze them!

                                        If you had of asked me a week ago when Henry helped himself to a can of coke – I would have said NOTHING! ha ha ha ha….

                                        I’m not even sure if I can explain/put into words what makes Henry so special to me? Just his presence in the room, when he cleans himself, when he eats – I feel like I’m the only one in the world who has a bunny so cute and clever that does these things.
                                        I know that’s not the case, lol – but that’s how he makes ME feel….. I still gush at his every move.

                                          I love the smell too! I love when Mimzy will be on her second level & just sit at the edge waiting for me to kneel down so she can use my back as a ladder to get down xD

                                          She drives me crazy sometimes, always into everything, but the way she runs right up to the door when I come in the room or climbs all over me once I sit on the floor constantly climbing all over smelling me lol. Or if I lay on my stomach, she *loves* jumping on my back all the time lol. I love letting her do this when I’m feeling like I need a moment to relax.

                                          With Kenobi, it doesn’t matter what he’s doing, if you so much as accidentally blow air his way, he stops dead in his tracks hoping for pets haha. & the flops<3
                                          There’s just too many things to love lol

                                            Well, sure am glad I ain’t the only one planning a bunny fur scent! I’m thinking candles and all…

                                            Apollo has this cute way of just laying with me. He will literally lie nose to nose with me for half an hour or more….

                                              Yes!! I am glad i’m not the only one that loves their bunny smell!

                                              I love the way Shamus always flops over in his second litter box and licks his little foot has he flops!
                                              I love the way Peach ‘grooms’ me even when i dont ‘groom’ her back
                                              and i love the way Spencer always stands on his back legs to look around and see what i am doing

                                                Andi, I know exactly what you mean. EVERYTHING Ziggy does is so adorable to me. His little slow hops around the living room, they way he stretches so long when he’s curious about something but scared, and washing his face! I love watching him clean is ears. lol!

                                                  When I have Lily out of her pen and I’m laying on the floor on my laptop, I’ll suddenly feel this tiny cool breeze around my feet, which usually means she’s sniffing around them. It makes me smile.

                                                    I love the minty fresh breath of cotton after he eats mint.  OR anytime really  I love the sound of crisp crunching on lettuce.  I love how he stretches his little head towards me for more pettings n bunny luvins.  Yes I even love his cotton scented poo.  (ok call me crazy here)

                                                    Yes his furr smells wonderful. 

                                                    I love to see him run outside with his little hat on.  Its just too cute. 

                                                    Oh Lola you are getting MORE snow.  Good grief. 

                                                    There is a new season called sprinter.  Spring n winter combined.   Mother nature needs to take her prozac this is crazy lol.

                                                      bunnytowne – I am beginning to think the other day when it was almost 45 degrees that might have been our summer! It’s snowing again today too but it’s light and fluffy this time … no blizzard … at least for now.

                                                        Just had to add a few things . . . I love to watch them clean their ears and wash their faces (like rayray!). I *love* their bunny yawns and stretches (saw Marlee yawn for the first time today!). And those awesome binkies! Kieko wiggles her rear end up in the air, Moshi does 180 binkies and twists sideways, and Marlee (just like her bunny self) does dainty binkies. Lately, Marlee has also started doing straight-up-in-the-air binkies too — the best part is that she thumps right before she does it as if to say “Hey, look at me, look what I can do!” Makes me melt! Binkies make the world a better place!

                                                          Oh I do love the sounds of bunnies crunching on lettuce. I always find it so funny because you wouldn’t think they would be THAT noisy.

                                                                I love the way Sally and Harley circle my feet everytime I walk in their room.

                                                                I love the way Harley will run up to me and lay his chin down asking for pets. And his easygoing, lazy attitude.

                                                                I love the way Sally sleeps. It’s so cute. She’s so twitchy and her ears are flopped crazily and in the way. And she holds her ears in her little paws to clean them.

                                                                I love the way Bam moves his litterbox out of the corner to pee on the floor because he finds his litterbox too dirty. I find that so cute. His big personality lol I have to clean it everyday because he can’t make it everyday. He hates stepping in his poop

                                                                  But…when he cleans his face, ears, and whiskers with his tiny little front paws, I just melt completely…he’s such a little sweetie then. I always stop to watch the whole process. Wish I could get it on video. It’s one of those things I don’t ever want to give up.

My fiance will run to one side of the room and Kern will run as fast as he can to him, back and forth, Kern doing binkies and making little honking sounds that only my fiance can hear. Kern gives us kisses daily, our foreheads and arms get completely clean. Daily cuddle sessions with Kern are so relaxing. We will have a little snack then he will lay down on the couch next to me, I will cover him with our blanket and pet him to sleep, sometimes I can sleep too. Oh and the way he flops down on his bed and then cleans it before going to sleep.

                                                                        I love when I walk into Bleu’s area and she does a super high jump in the air and runs to me, nibbling on my pant leg till I reach down and pet her. Then once I do pet her she runs away like I offended her. Lately she has been coming into the kitchen when I look for a snack. How can I say no to her, she usually gets a small piece of carrot or a mint leaf. When I say kiss and she comes up and bumps my lips with her mouth. It makes me so happy.

It is the cutest sound ever when she sips her water! I also love it when she jumps up into my lap when I am sitting on the couch and she thinks she is being ignored.

Also when she nose butts me in the “hey, I kinda like you” sort of way. My little girl isn’t super affectionate so it’s always nice when she gives me little ilu gestures in her own way.
