        Hey everyone….my name is Brandy and I live in New Brunswick, Canada.

        I am currently owned by 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, a hamster, 2 lizards, a snake and my 2 bunnies.  Pickles is a REW flemish boy who was in rough shape when he came home, full of fleas, worms, mites, he also had  conjunctivitis, was anemic and skinny so we had to hold off on neutering until he was better, he is now better and neutered (thank god, I was so tired of being sprayed when it was time for meds, lol).

        This is Pickles

        Snickers was a rescue, I consider him a rescue anyways, he was going to be snake/alligator food. My friend’s brother raises alligators and lots of the giant snakes, retics, burmese, etc so they have a barn full of THOUSANDS of rats and a couple hundred bunnies. STINK is not even the word to desribe when you walk into this barn, all the buns had to eat was hay and bread….they were all so wild and Snickers was the only fawn one there, most were black and REW’s, Snickers was also the only one that was curious and slowly hopped over to us, of course he ran when I tried to grab him but then the dude went over and picked him up by his ears  I grabbed him right away, his little heart was beating 100miles a minute, once I started petting him he snuggled right in and I was in love so home he came with me….he was so skinny, his spine and ribs were all showing….you’d never know he was the same bunny.  He is sooooooo affectionate it’s not even funny, but he’s also full of spunk, lol

        Here’s my Snickers boy

         

        Anyways this seems like a great place, I’m glad I found you guys!

            Welcome

            I’m gasping alot at these pictures! Pickles ears look like they’re reaching out to give you a big hug. And Snickers…Snickers makes your heart melt! OK, i sound ridiculous but I can’t help it. They’re beautiful.

            This barn you mentioned…I understand reptiles are carnivores but it is hard knowing all those rabbits and rats will become food. Please tell me they are not given as live food. : ( Ugh, my stomach turns.  Are there certain regulations about how feeder animals are to be kept at least? It’s ok if you are unable to (or would rather not) answer my questions. Probably not wise to go into that topic too much anyway.

            That aside, I hope you enjoy looking around the site and look forward to hearing more about these gorgeous two.

              Thanks Nugget, I’m also very glad I found them, I don’t know what I would do without them.

              Jerseygirl, they do NOT feed live, and the reason I know this is because I have a snake, just a baby corn snake and before I had ever gone to their barn I had asked if they bred mice as well since my snake eats pinky mice and they don’t but they told me when she is bigger if I want some pinky rats just to let them know, tell them how many I want, they would euthanize them and freeze them for me, but corn snakes don’t eat rats, they stay on mice so I have to order mine in. I feed frozen/thawed as I could never feed live. I have nothing against feeding snakes because snakes/reptiles have to eat just like we do BUT I do strongly believe that feeders SHOULD be kept as pets, not all just thrown in a barn. I breed dubia roaches for my lizards and they eat better then I do, haha.

              It was REALLY hard walking out of that barn with only 1 rabbit. I didn’t see any veggies or anything but my hubby is the grocery manager at the local grocery store and he said they save all their scraps from produce for him so he knows they’re getting some.
              I am amazed at how friendly Snickers is since he had like no human socialization at all, he can’t get enough attention and he climbs right up onto me and practically begs to be petted, he will lay beside me and he just can’t get close enough. He is also VERY cage aggressive though and I can’t mess with his cage AT ALL…


              That’s what he did to me last time I tried to straighten his house, LOL
              I like to think he came from nothing and now he has so much that he doesn’t want anybody messing with it…it’s his and he plans on keeping it.
              Unfortunately he feels the same way about Pickles being in his space, he paces and grunts the whole time Pickles is running free in the living room, they can interact through the cage bars bvut that’s it….yesterday Snickers was so ticked that Pickles was having play time that when I put his veggies in his cage he attacked his romaine lettuce, haha but the minute he is out of his cage is a total love bug.

              Oh don’t worry I’ll probably drive you guys crazy with pictures and stories, LOL
              I also have 3 human boys. Dakin is 9, Corbin is 8 and Tysin is 7 and they all love the bunnies, never a dull moment in this house!

                  Corbin is definately a great name It is also my late Aunt and Uncle’s last name…but the funny thing I honestly didn’t know that until after we named him, haha.

                    Welcome! They are both so beautiful! Pickles looks perfect, I would never guess he ever had any skin conditions or was malnourished. Great job! Snickers is a cutie-pie. How long have you had him?

                      The only thing with Pickles is he does this gross thing with his urine and his chin, LOL you can see how his chin is stained yellow?? Well he pees, rubs his chin in it then rubs his urine soked chin on everything!! Icky boy, haha

                        Oh and ever since Snickers got fixed he growls at me if I touch his bum, haha I’ve checked and everything is healed fine but he doesn’t want me anywhere near his bits!

                        Crazy buns, I am so obsessed with them I drive hubby crazy, haha

                            Lol, funny but kinda gross. Did Pickles spraying stop after his neuter? Maybe he still likes to mark with his urine, just in a different way.  
                            I have heard that rabbits with a rough past can display some odd behaviours.
                            Some rabbits sip their urine too… It’s odd and nobody really knows why.

                              Yup he thankfully did stop spraying.
                              We would put the meds in and put him back in his cage, he would kick back, start digging and that was our cue to RUN!!!! It took me twice before I realized what was happening….lets just say it’s not very fun being soaked with rabbit urine, he would jump/spray and kick all at the same time to maximize the coverage, haha and he could get it ATLEAST 6 feet..those back feet have some power behind them, haha.

                              Alright here’s the rest of my crew

                                        I think the only 2 pets I missed was Dribble the hamster and Kaymen the cat, I will get to those later, I’ll have to dig or take new pics since I don’t have many of them.

                                          Gorgeous animals, ALL of them! Your children are very fortunate to have exposure to different types of animals and it sounds like they all get their individual requirements met very well! It’ll be interesting because one of your boys might end up being a “reptile guy”, another a “dog guy”, maybe the third will be a “bunny guy”?!

                                            They are ALL such beautiful looking animals. And your boys are super cute too. You must be a busy, busy woman looking after everyone.

                                              Yup, the boys definately love all the animals, sometimes the dogs tick them off just because they’re the ones that step on them, chew their toys and steal their food, hahaha

                                              Jersey, nope I’m not a photographer, it’s just something I enjoy. I don’t have much confidence in myself and have been asked to do 2 weddings but I said no both times, I would feel awful if I messed something up and they didn’t like them and I figure it would take the fun out of it. I take pics when the urge hits me, I never know when that will be and I like it like that

                                              Thanks for the compliments guys, like I said…there’s never a dull moment, LOL right now it’s after lunch time and me and the boys are still in our jammies, haha I love it!

                                                          Your animals are all so beautiful! I’m especially partial to Flemish Bunnies and Shnauzers!! Your human boys are cute too!

                                                          Reading about that feeder barn made me so sad. It’s terrible that bunnies are used as feeders at all when you consider how wonderful and personable they are. It just breaks my heart. I had gone to a farm with a friend once to pick up a lama and went into one of their barns, not knowing what was in there, and saw tiny cages of beautiful REW’s that were being raised for meat. I will never get that site out of my head. It’s so horrible.

                                                                Thanks guys, you guys are just amazing!

                                                                You wanna know something, I’ve never been a fan of white animals, especially REW’s. Then one day hubby brought home a REW Peruvian Guinea Pig….I mean he was cute but I was like “WHY oh why did you pick that one?”

                                                                Well I was soon thanking hubby for the most amazing guinea pig EVER, he was sooooooo friendly, he had a C&C cage that was open at the top and he would stand on his 2 hind feet waiting to be picked up, everynight he would wait for me to go and get him so we could snuggle on the couch, he would squeeze in so tight and lay right down and go to sleep. Seriously he was the best pig ever.

                                                                Then when I came across Pickles, I was like I’m gonna try with the REW again, and again I was totally amazed at how awesome he is. Seriously he’s just a giant ball of love….now I do believe the REW’s are one of my favorites, they have totally 100% won me over!
