Most bunnies at the Rescue have a regular diet of hay, grass, Readigrass, vegetables (greens, broccoli, kale, herbs, carrot pieces) and good quality pellets. A small but significant number have their own specific diet to fit their individual health or digestive issues, for example low calcium, higher fibre, no veg, ... Then there are the ones in between, who on a good day can pretty much take the regular diet, but need to be monitored and every now and again restricted to certain things. This involves checking for any signs of digestive upset before handing over the food and adjusting accordingly when it happens.

Not surprisingly, when one was expecting a tasty piece of carrot but one is handed a far-less-appetising fiber stick or extra handful of timothy hay instead, one is not necessarily impressed.

The Con Remains The Same

TOBY: What do you call a human with an empty bucket on his head?

BHV: Ooo, that's a good one! Let me think...no, I don't know! What DO you call a human with an empty bucket on his head?

TOBY: Hey, don't ask me, it's YOUR name! Some other questions you'll be asking yourself later are 'How did a creature so small con me into putting a bucket on my head?' and 'Hey, didn't this bucket have veg in it a moment ago?'.

Holding Things Up

TOBY: Hold it right there!

BHV: Hold what right where?

TOBY: The bucket of pellets, upside down.

Toby and Glamour

This was quite a result. After each losing their partners recently, Toby and Glamour have quickly bonded with each other!

Such a sweet couple! :-)

Spot the Parsley

Can you spot (or guess the location of) the parsley in this picture of Nightingale and Toby?

Why not have a go, then click the picture to reveal the solution and see if you got it right! (Bunnies - gotta love 'em!)

No Charge

Today was going to be all about how the foster litter are getting on, with lots of cute pictures, but unfortunately last night my camera was sans juice.

I was going to tell you about how the lump in Tombo's face has gone down and how the scabby lump on it had disappeared taking with it a chunk of face fur leaving a cute little dimple, but you probably couldn't come close to imagining how cute it is so there's no point without a picture.

I was going to tell you how on Sunday I moved their cage onto the bed base to free up more of the floor for them to play on, how the first time out one of them managed to climb all the way back up to go back into the cage just to wee, then climbed all the way down again. Without the pictures of the new cage position it won't be as clear what an achievement that was.

I correctly predicted that after a couple of adventures on the floor they would gain confidence and last night race about everywhere being utterly hilarious and that it would provide plenty of opportunities for the cutest pictures you ever did see. It did, but there were no pictures because the camera battery was flat.

So today, I will mostly be disappointing you by telling you what a wonderful time I had last night without being able to show you. Still, I can't not give you a bunny pic with this post, so here's a completely random and unrelated picture from a few weeks back of Toby having a nap, just to keep us going until I get the camera charged up again!
