The Exciting World of Rabbits

Mattie

I miss you so much.

Some cute pictures

Charlotte likes the tree stump.

Mattie likes to just sit and not be bothered by the toys I put on top of her.

Rabbit conversation

2007-06-05T20:31:00.000-07:00

This happened at a friends house.
H: So how is your rabbit doing, the one thats dead?
Me: (Skeptical look) Dead.
H: Yeah, mine died also a while ago.

I walked away and though about the bizarre conversation. I figured he was just making sure that my rabbit died, because my dad lies to him all the time. I don't know why he asked though since I told him myself that she died, on the day she died. That was the end of that conversation and other strange ones occurred later.

Camoflage!

Mattie thinks she is hiding.

Charlotte

2007-05-23T21:01:00.001-07:00

Here is a picture of our new rabbit Charlotte. She is a year old and came from the same Humane Society as Matilda and Bonnie.

Bonnie

2007-05-23T20:57:00.001-07:00

Here is a picture of where Bonnie lays. I picked out the flowers the same day she died. I miss her so much. I wish I could hold her and hug her one last time. I love you Bonnie.

R.I.P. Bonnie

This afternoon Bonnie passed away. You will be missed. I will miss stepping over you in the middle of the night, seeing you as stretched out as you can be, trying not to move while you eat. I will miss your ears and the cardboard rolls I would put on them. I miss the way you come running when your hear kibbles being poured into your bowl. We miss you very much Bonnie.

Brat

2007-04-12T23:25:00.000-07:00

I am currently being a real brat by not wanting to do what one of the owners wants. I was all cute and nice last week and I felt like changing this week.
Last week I let one of the owners brush my fur and pet me and I looked at her with cute little eyes, and I think she really enjoyed it. But I am upset with her so I am going to act badly. I don't know how it will turn out though, since she is the one who cleans up after me and feeds me. This may backfire, but I will continue with it for a little while. I like to be chased around the yard when it is dark out, but she doesn't so now she is ignoring me. We'll see who breaks first.

Planting

2007-03-22T21:29:00.000-07:00

So the owners were planting in the backyard today. They tried to make us help by like digging holes for the plants but we had none of it! We would just lie down in protest or just run around making them chase us. We have built a fort under a ladder with the help of one of the owners. It is surrounded so we can hide. Thats all for today.

Migration

2007-03-07T15:55:00.000-08:00

So the rabbits have migrated. They move to different parts of the yard about every three months. For the last few days they have been sitting under a bench swing in the back yard. They have moved because they know that the flowers nearby will start blooming soon and they don't want to miss out on eating the buds before we can see any flowers. We try to protect the plants, but they seem to find ways to eat them, just like the snails do. I also am thinking about changing Bonnie's name to Tubby because she was practically in the same spot as this morning, which was with her head stuck in the food bowl (not literally stuck). I made noise as i came up to them, which scared her into leaving the bowl. Usually she doesn't scare easily, especially if she has settled into a spot. Well that's it for now, maybe they will update this later.

Very upset pt. 2

2007-02-21T20:08:00.000-08:00

I am one of the owners, and I am very upset with they two of them. They have been using the computer without my permission. I hope that they have not upset many of you, I want you to continue to read about what they are doing during the day, but I don't want you to think they are liars because they steal my computer. They know better than to steal, and they know they can only use the internet when they are being supervised. Please let me know the next time they use the internet with out my permission.

Very upset

2007-02-21T19:59:00.000-08:00

The owners were pruning trees this morning. I was so upset that they were interrupting my quiet time under our tent. Mattie was ecstatic because she loves the attention, even if she is not the center of it. She was going after all the branches that were falling down. She likes darting in between everyone in the back yard. I was being poked by a branch by one owner. She made me get up and go hide under some other plants. Mattie was also poked but she enjoyed it. She just wanted to play and run (jump) around the yard. Once they were done Mattie and I could finally relax in peace.

What we did today

2007-02-19T22:32:00.000-08:00

So to answer the last question that was left in the comments section: I have no idea if rabbits can swim. I have not had the opportunity to try and swim, so it could be possible. If you build an in ground pool for my family I can be the first one in and see how well I can swim, of course I can only do this under the supervision of someone else who can swim.
Today Bonnie and I just sat under the orange tree that we like so much. The other trees are bare right now so they are not fun to sit under. The weather was nice out, but we have heard that it is going to rain in the next few days. We like to sit outside in light drizzle, just not in a downpour. Well I have to get off the computer right now before my owner finds out I have been using it when she doesn't want me to.

It is raining

2007-02-09T12:42:00.000-08:00

So we have to stay inside today. There is no sunshine and no way for us to frolic in the grass. Well to be honest, we don't frolic, we move slowly and lie down a lot. But we like sitting under trees while doing this and there are no trees inside the house. If you would like to send us a living tree that we could take care of inside we would be very grateful; we like orange trees, and it has to smell good, and something that the squirrels would be jealous of when we showed it to them. And it should be big enough so we can move around under it, but it doesn't block all the light. We woulsd also like it if we could have real, not artificial light inside.

another exciting time

2007-02-05T10:25:00.000-08:00

So we got to lay around yesterday. Bonnie was covered with a blanket by one of our owners, and she just laid there for a while before it got too uncomfortable having the blanket. Then we had fun rolling the blanket into a ball so that no one could use it to lay on. When food is placed in a bowl and the bowl is light, we like to pick it up and dump all of the food on the ground. Then we can eat the food straight off the ground, and if we do that with our grains in the back yard the birds also will eat with us. The birds are nice because they do not scare us. They are a lot smaller than we are and they don't have bushy tails like the squirrels.

Exciting day

2007-01-31T20:02:00.000-08:00

Today we sat outside and ate and slept. We did not move around the yard too much. It was nice and sunny and a little warm today. It was a great way to end January. We did lick each other clean for an hour throughout the day, plus the time we each took cleaning ourselves.

The white and brown rabbit is Bonnie, and as you can guess the grey one is Matilda. They are over 3 years old, and were adopted from the Humane Society.

They love to lay down and relax most of the day. When food is present, you can see them jump and hop over to the food. This is the most active they will be during the day, unless they get chased by a broom, then they take off. They also have issues with cats and squirrels being around them, but they are getting along better with squirrels.
