JACK & RUCY CAM #1 JACK & RUCY CAM #2
SCHEDULE (PST))
Figure out this schedule in your part of the world at www.TheTimeNOW.com
Weekends Vary
We don't feel it is a good idea to have bright lights on in the evenings, so we have set the cameras to show well even in low-light. (so it may actually look brighter than it is) However, when we turn off the lights...well...then dark is dark. We slowly dim lights throughout the evening, and then "lights out "is anywhere between 1am - 3am.
CLEANING TIME: Around 11am
FEEDING TIME:
- AM: (time varies) Small amount of greens
- NOON: Treat Time: Small pellet snack, greens, hay and papaya treat stuffed inside of a grass ball.
- 5PM: Dinner of pellets. (I spread around their cage - better for digestive system to forage instead of quick consumpution from bowl)
- 8PM: Greens.
- ALL DAY: Unlimited Hay
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 just make sure that they get big daily doses. Most of the time they get it when they come out to visit us in the rest of house , which is off camera of course (the last thing I need to worry about is a bad hair day!)
OUR BUNNY CHARACTERS!

JACK
|
Jack is sensitive, affectionate, expressive bunny who loves his girl, Rucy! He's not a big explorer unless Rucy tries it out first. He's getting more brave in time though. He likes to chew up and destroy things, but has mellowed with age. He tolerates Bailey, but isn't fond of her because she always tries to pick on Rucy.
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.com took him in. I fostered him and quickly fell in love.
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. He loved affection, and was not scary or grumpy at all. I fell in love and adopted him. He bonded quickly with my other bunny Rucy, who is now the love of his life.

RUCY
|
Rucy's a tough independent smart and spunky girl with a soft side for Jack. She likes to be pet on her own terms. But that's okay, she's so much fun to watch! She loves to explore, hide in dark spaces, get up on high places and throw things around that get in her way. I observe her actually thinking about how to figure something out. She's a real smarty pants. She dislikes Bailey only because Bailey dislikes her. You'll often see Bailey giving her the stink eye.
Background: I adopted her from the House Rabbit Society in Richmond. They told me she was dropped off in the middle of the night in her carrier in the front of Animal Care and Control. She had a large jaw abscess, so House Rabbit Society adopted her and together with Dr. Harvey, they gave her a second chance at a great life. Ultimately, a front incisor and a few back teeth needed to be removed. She was a tough cookie and would box and bite. (who wouldn't after what she had been through) But with trust and socializing, she has come full circle. She now shows her displeasure with a light box, or a gentle push away, and will seek out affection when she's ready.

THE WILLOW TENT This unpeeled willow tent is perfect for bunnies of all sizes. They’ll enjoy this long lasting hideout. It’s the perfect place for a bunny to camp out and chew up at the same time.
I like to make the tent an activity center by hanging some of our chew toys like the Hang & Twist and the Willow Star on the inside.
PAPAYA TABLETS Oxbow chewable Papaya Tablets are made from the freshest pineapple and papaya available and bunnies love 'em! Papaya Tablets are a natural source of papain and bromelain. These enzymes may help soften food and hair in the stomach. I love to put these in our Grass Ball or Jumbo Willow Ball to add a little extra tasty fun.
Remember, as with any treat, offer sparingly to prevent digestive problems and obesity.
WILLOW CUBE A large willow cube made of natural unpeeled willow. The square shape is great for bunnies that like their toys to stay put so they can sink their choppers in. And like the Willow Ball, you can still snuggly fit hay and treats in the cube’s nook and crannies; A great way to turbo charge it!
COLOSSAL CARROT Leaping Lagomorphs! Your rabbit will be in bunny heaven with the Colossal Carrot Basket filled with: Bunny Blend Hay (mix of Timothy, Orchard, Blue, Rye, Fescue & Brome), Willow Foliage (when in season), Heart Shaped Veggie Cookies, Mini-Willow Ball, Oxbow Critter Berries, Oxbow Critter Carrots, Oxbow Timothy Hay Cakes, and Willow Sticks
GRASS BALL A fully edible willow and natural fiber ball filled with a stash of soft timothy hay or for an irresistible treat and toy in one, add some of our Blue Bunny Mix Hay and Papaya tablet. Bunnies toss it, nibble it, and chew it up to get to the surprise of timothy hay inside. I love to continue to entice my bunnies by refilling the grass ball with hay and treats until the the grass ball itself is finally consumed. It took my bunny Bailey six months to nibble it down to a small crescent moon.
STRAW MATS S-L-XL These Straw Mats are woven using natural straw and natural jute for longer lasting chewing satisfaction. These mats are flexible and can be rolled up for more creative fun playtime. Ideal for placing in cages to protect sensitive feet or to place over or near favorite naughty chew spots like carpet hot spots, underneath furniture, etc...
SOCK BUNNY KEYCHAIN So why do the bunnies get to have all the fun! When I saw this adorable keychain, I thought we humans deserve something too! This ridiculously cute 2 1/2" little bunny will make you smile everytime you grab your keys.
