Jack crossed over the Rainbow Bridge peacefully on 5/25/2011.
We love and miss you Jack more than words can say.
Jack brought us the most amazing amount of Joy and happiness every single day. He originally was a rescue bunny at San Francisco Animal Care and Control, and then SaveABunny.org took him in as he was a special case: He was harder to adopt out because his originally grumpy demeanor was misunderstood, but he was just scared and needed time to trust again. Being a rescue bunny isn’t easy but at least the shelters/rescues offered him a second chance. And with love and patience he blossomed into the most amazing loving funny strong spirit that touched us deeply and lit up our lives. If you are thinking about getting a bunny, please consider a rabbit rescue or shelter and offer a second chance. If you feel like donating, you can give $$, supplies, or time to a local animal shelter or rabbit rescue, like SaveABunny.org, which is where we adopted Jack from.

SCHEDULE
CLEANING TIME: Around 10am (many times this is off cam)
FEEDING TIME: Due to Jack's problem with excreting calcium normally, he is susceptable to bladder stones. To help prevent reoccurance, the vet has recommended a fluid rich diet to help dilute his urine. This means he no longer gets pellets (maybe a tiny bit once a month as a treat). He instead gets a tons of veggies, (including normally restricted veggies like sweet potato & carrots), water with 10% apple juice to encourage more fluid intake (along with a regular water dish), and of course, unlimited hay. For more details about his illness and diet changes click here.
- ALL DAY: Unlimited Hay
- AM: (time varies) Greens, but normally when the cams start up.
- 7PM: Greens.
- NIGHT: CAM 2 - we are able to adjust it so it still shows even in very low light. That one will normally be left on until we turn off the cameras completely for the night (around 9pm)
PLAYTIME: Usually active early morning, noon, and evenings. The rest of the day really varies. They are also allowed to wander into the rest of the house which is not on webcam.
AFFECTION: No specific time. I give them little pets throughout the day, and then I make sure that they get a big daily dose in the evenings when the cams are turned off. .

JACK
|
Jack is estimated to be about 7-8 years old as of June 2010
Jack is a sensitive, affectionate, expressive bunny who is now trying to impress and dominate the new Diva "Vivian" in the house. Rucy taught him out to be brave, and Vivian is now teaching him how to patient and calm. He would like to have some evening nooky, but Vivian has made it clear - NEVER EVER. But Jack wouldn't be Jack without a little try here and there. He can bug Vivian so much that she runs off to her special little hideaway for the evening. (You can read more about that in Vivian's profile)
Background: Jack had originally lived in a cage in a garage with his mate. They were turned into an animal shelter, and separated. (they don't do that now, unless the pair is fighting). His bonded mate was adopted out, and he was left behind. He was lonely and scared, and he'd huff, growl and lunge. Because he was a big boy and could easily scare everyone off, he was at risk for being euthanized. So SaveABunny.org took him in. I fostered him and quickly fell in love and adopted him.
He was just a big bluffer and ended up being just a big loving teddy bear. The sad part though was that he obviously missed his mate, who actually looked just like him. When he saw himself in the large closet mirrors, he would honk with joy, and snuggle up to his reflection. When I adopted him, he fell in love with Rucy right away and they quickly bonded. Rucy passed away March of 2009. Now he is working on befriending Vivian and though they are taking time, a slow developing friendship is happening.

VIVIAN
|
Vivian is estimated to be a minimum of 6-7 years old when we adopted her in May 2009 from SaveABunny.org.
She is a comical, extremely intelligent, inquisitive, confident and loving girl with a bit of divatude. We feel blessed to have in our lives. She will seek out affection from us and look for trouble to get into. For an older gal, she has a fun young curious spirit about her. A real character!
Background: She was at SaveABunny for 2 years, and before that she was causing havoc with her attitude at a previous shelter. Marcy, SaveABunny Founder, knew she was special and just needed someone to understand and love her. It was exciting to see her get used to a new "forever home" with us. Most people may not have understood her "Divatude". No she doesn't want you to touch her stuff and yes, she will let you know it, especially if she doesn't really know you. But we have found that in a rather short amount of time, she is willing to trust and now looks forward to our approach when she is in her pen. She may give us the stink eye if we move some stuff around, but that's about it - maybe every once in awhile she'll give a girly like "huff". We just love every single thing about her.

BB
|
BB (Toy Bunny)---Name should be changed to "Hubba Hubba" as Jack seduces it when he gets too frisky for Vivian. But both Jack and Vivian will cuddle and groom with BeeBee.
Background: Sitting between Dragons and Elephants, BB was rescued from a toy store for the sole purpose to keep Bailey (RIP) company. Bailey suffered with hind leg weakness due (e.cuniculi related), and so BB (Bailey's Buddy) kept her company. Then after Rucy passed away BB became a comfort for Jack as it was hard for him to lose his bonded gal, Rucy. Then when Vivian and Jack were bonding, BB came in as a stunt double to help with the process. Later BB became a third wheel, but as of recent, they have accepted BB back and it helps Jack work out his....eh hem... frustrations.
