are you guys fastiduously clean? or does your house look like a barn?

[scubahood]

i am the latter lol

 

there is hay everywhere i look and i sometimes get poo on my sock

[ohbonobogirl]

The latter here, too. Add in an old house with hardwood floors and there’s always hay somewhere.

My house USED to be spotless – not anymore!
My Henry was the best cure for my OCD….. *SIGH*!

[JackRabbit]

Unless hubby gets A/C installed on our storage room pretty soon, the boxes of hay are going back in the living room and then me house will really look like a barn!

[manic_muncher]

Thinking of adding a pygmy goat to the family….

[BubblesJo]

I have a very small apartment, so it’s not hard to get messy. I try to keep it clean, but sometimes I go for more than a week without vacuuming and my dust bunnies start having dust bunnies of their own. Ah well, c’est la vie.

[Sarita]

I’m pretty clean – Bobby has his own room and I do vacuum that every morning but he’s really not messy at all.

[JackRabbit]

Pygmy goat sounds like the answer. Manic, you’re a genius!

[Little Lion Head]

I just found hay in my washing machine.

[tanlover14]

Try having 8…. I actually started a cleaning schedule for myself b/c it was impossible w/ all the hay & poos getting dragged everywhere. I now spend 1 hour every night cleaning up after everybun – vaccumming every night & cleaning/freshening up litter boxes. Because of this, my house has remained shockingly clean lately! If it’s a full cleaning though it normally takes me about 2 hours to get everything done.

[Little Lion Head]

TL I can’t even imagine! I get snarly and annoyed having to make TWO salads and and clean up ONE area!! haha you must be very patient! Where do you house all of your buns?

[JackRabbit]

LLH — I think you have that backward, you should have asked where the buns house TL and the bf! I remember a while back (last year?), TL’s description of their bedroom had her and the bf inside the xpens and the bunnies outside the xpens!

[tanlover14]

LMAO — JR THAT IS SO RIGHT!  The x-pen went AROUND the bed and we had to literally let ourselves out of the x-pen to go into their area.  LMAO!  DYING remembering that… 

With the changed groups, we have the set-up a bit different.  They used to all be bonded and then they had almost our whole bedroom which is what JR was talking about.  I haven’t taken a picture of the Tans set up.. but here is the set-up for my four I am bonding right now.   They all have access to our bed since they are very good with litter habits.  We put a waterproof case over the mattress so if someone does have an accident it’s not going to mess up our bed, although it would be annoying!  We have only had one accident on the bed.. and that was Tucker.  He was cuddling with Aaron and I barged in the room and I scared him and he peed all over Aaron & the bed!  LOL.  He’s such a sensitive bun bun.

So anywho, here is the bonded four area!  I had the area at the bottom blocked off for bonding but they will eventually have access to there and the other side of the bed as well.  Once everyone can live peacefully. 

I will take a picture of the other area later — the Tans we ended up moving into a large closet (yes closet) that we bought from Ikea.  It’s huge and has 2 sides.  We DIY’ed it into a condo for them.  It has 4 different levels – 3 on one side and 1 on the other.  They get up to the different levels through ramps and we used NIC cubes to make the door.  With their terrible litter box habits, it works out wonderfully.  Obviously with 4, we had to buy something huge for them.  The cost of it was around $700.  Which is insane to house your bunnies but we just could not handle them ruining the rugs with their terrible litter habits.  So they live in their condo and then they have an x-pen in the kitchen that we let them out into whenever we are home.  I cook dinner, move them out there, clean the pens, and they stay out there until about 12-12:30 at night then come back in.  On the weekends, they are out almost the whole time.  It works well for them although some nights you can hear them running through the different levels and it’s Loud! 

[BunsAndDolls]

I clean a little bit every day because the buns are in our living room, and we have hard floors…there’s ALWAYS hair floating through the air though. And hay in the strangest places. I sweep twice a day, and swiffer every night before bed. But it’s still there. The dog doesn’t help, as he likes to go into the rabbit corner and pull hay out of the box and drag it across the room.

So, I guess it doesn’t ALWAYS look like a barn…but sometimes it does, LOL

[Little Dove]

I try to be very clean. My rabbit’s cage gets spot-cleaned daily and litterbox cleaned every other day (i.e dumped out and new pellets/hay put in it). I sweep 2x daily to pick up loose hay he’s thrown out. Because he lives in my room, I try to keep things as clean as possible, haha. I’d rather not be walking on hay, dirt, and bunny poops if I can help it but while I was sick recently, it did look a little more akin to a barn lol.

[MoxieMeadows]

*Kicks hay under bed* Of course it’s clean!

Okay okay, hay seems to find it’s way everywhere. No matter how much I clean…

[Sr. Melangell]

Hay is all over the place, washing machine, in my bed, in my clothes, all over my carpet and the hoover broke, all I need is a few cows and a scarecrow.

[BrierRabbit]

I found a piece of hay in my bra while I was at work yesterday.

I try to keep things pretty clean since he shares my bedroom, but hay and fur always find a way to escape. Eh, as long as the poop is contained. Seriously, a hand vac is the best investment I’ve ever made.

[Sindri]

When my 2 lived separately Kilala was messy. Usagi always had a clean room but the two of them together make a mess. I find hay all over the room. I vacuum and completely clean their rabbit room every other day and light clean the others.

[LittlePuffyTail]

I often joke (but sometimes it’s actually true!) that there is more hay on my floors than there is on the barn aisle floor at the stable where my horse lives. I sweep at least once a day but it just spreads everywhere.

[LoveChaCha]

I just moved into a 2 bedroom apartment. Koucha has a litter box and water dish in the second bedroom. The hay is in the litter box. The rest of the apartment is full of cardboard boxes and such, but no hay around the apartment.

However, I still end up finding hay in my bra or something.

[emm_renn]

My room is a mess! I’m not the cleanest person on the planet and neither is my rabbit. I have a plastic hay rack that hinges on the outside of the cage. Fuji will get lazy and instead of jumping inside her cage to eat the hay, she will stand up and eat the hay from the top of the rack which brings so much hay onto the floor -__- siwwy wabbit.

[Little Lion Head]

Rocky almost always gets excited about a noise when he has a mouth full of hay. He always runs to see what the noise was w/ a full mouth….so I feel your pain emm_renn!

[JackRabbit]

My hubby did not get A/C put in our storage room as expected, so my living room is now literally filled with hay. I am not kidding. The barn is now inside my house.

[mkculs]

I’ve got all the buns and litter boxes in bathrooms for the time being–I’m out of town and my poor son is in charge of the pets. 10 bunnies and a dog. one or two groups are doing pretty well, keeping their poo and hay in the litter box (I use a big box from former cages, put hay on one end, litter on the other, and hope for the best. . .

Hay hasn’t been a huge issue yet, but everyone is still confined to smaller areas right now. We’ll see how it goes over the whole summer and into the fall.

[Beka27]

Meadow is pretty clean. She drops a few more poops now that she’s a senior officially (she’s 8), but her pee is still perfect (knock on wood). Once or twice a day i take the dustbuster and just suck up the 10 or so random poos.

Her hay is relatively contained, so that isn’t too much of an issue. She does sometimes decide to flip her veggie bowl, but i think that’s just to get to the best bits! Lol!

[Frodo Baggins]

I just recently moved Frodo into my room. For the past year he has been in a 10×4 xpen with a wood floor. That contained all of his hair and the hay really well. His litter box and his homemade hay box is housed in the bottom of his old store bought cage which keeps most of the hay contained too.

My room totally smells like hay now though. Frodo gets in moods where he pulls hay out of his hay box into his litter box but it stay relatively contained. My cats on the other hand like to pull out all the litter. Hell i just caught my boy sleeping in the hay bin. .

I will probably ned up vacuuming once a day but right now its pretty good. Ny room is all carpet plus Frodo loves having my bed so we will see how much I have to clean. My dog takes care of any loose poops lol. Though Frod has really good litter habits. Thank god. When we first moved I was really worried about the carpet,
