I want to be a rabbit!!

awwwwww so cute,i want to be a rabbit too but i dont think i want to be poor florence whos squished in the corner

He has the right idea!

Wonder when Florence will have him up to the supermarket.

Florence is bored!!! She's now stopped cuddling up to him and keeps coming up to me and hubby looking at us as if to say "well you'll have to play with me then"

Maybe I'll play football with her using the noisy ball

Oh my what cute photos of Dougal he really is a happy and contented bunny looking at those photos, and it look's as if Florence has been washing his fur Bless her

12:30pm

"Good Afternoon Dougal nice of you to join us"

Fabulous photos - I love the last two


12.30pm - he looks like he might be ready to.... oh no, another five minutes then

Oooh he's actually now moved to the water bottle

To think I got him partly to keep Florence amused while I'm at work. All he does is sleep!!

And do a pee on the rug

The training pads we use are these






and a waterproof side.



The washable mats and runners we buy from all over the place if they are reasonably priced
we buy these a lot in the link below for the play pens from Tesco and they wash brilliant, are not a bad size
and a good price .

We also buy washable mats from Morrisons as well but they don't always have them in.

Oh he is a beautiful boy, so very very handsome. Its good that he feels so relaxed x

I notice he is sleeping on the bare bottom of the cage and wonder if he is a bit too warm. It might be that is why he is so sleepy and is losing a lot of fur. Maybe once he has adjusted to the temperature and new environment, he will be a bit livelier.

is it just today that he has been like this hun??

I wondered about the heat thing too - he has moved in from outdoors he may just take a while to adjust to a warmer environment.

You could try giving them a frozen bottle of water and see if he wants to lie near it.

It's the first time I've noticed he is sleepy, but he hasn't been ovely lively since he's moved in. There haven't been any binkies or bunny 500s. He stays in the cage a lot, whereas Florence does hop about. In the bottom of the cage is two trays, which I use for litter trays, which have wood shavings in (until I use up the massive bale) and shredded paper. But he does tend to dig them out of the way and sit on the trays. He also drinks a lot, so maybe he is too warm. Thanks for that guys!

There is a fan heater a bit near their house/pen (we don't have central heating) but I have just turned it off. I'll freeze a bottle for him now, or I could bring him in some snow!!!!

ahh bless him!! i just want to kiss his lickle mowf!!

Is it mean to admit that I put the lint roller on him earlier His fur is just so thick I thought I would see what happened. He actually didn't mind though.

There is now a bottle in the freezer, so hopefully that'll be frozen by when I go to bed.

I feel really bad now! I've been frying him

I have a round bristle (human) brush I use on Flo. It does a really good job of removing moulting short bun hair quite quickly. I would recommend you get brushing - hopefully it will increase your bond with him as well.

I've been brushing him a bit, but he gets bored after a while!! Although I have been doing it to him in the cage. I might pick him up and do it. I've got a soft brush and a slicker one. If I pick him up I can check him out too, I'm getting a bit worried about him now.

I remember Gloria coming into the house when she was recovering from ops and she would dig up all the bedding and flop onto the bare floor. I am sure he will be fine as long as he has lots to drink and it won't be long before he adjusts to the temperature. xx
