No vacancy

Mochi is very possessive of his snow fort. He chases everybunny out except for his sweetheart, Kiwi.

"The jacuzzi is broken!"

The bunnies all had a day at the spa. Or more specifically, it was "pedicure day." This is a dreaded time when the poor human pedicurist gets severely clawed while trying to clip the nails of 14 bunnies. About half of our herd are real kickers.

JD's dwarf loaf

There are a lot of reasons that people think Netherland Dwarfs are cute, but to me it is the short front legs. JD is an active guy, so I don't get to see him lay down much. This was a treat.

"This is my guilty face"

Today I came home to find 4 escaped rabbits who broke out of two different cages. It was The Three Amigos (including guilty Mochi here) and Stitch (our youngest and most talented jailbreaker).

In this picture you can also see Mochi's tattoos, left over from his days on the rabbit show table with his previous owner.

Outside party

We let a record amount of bunnies have a run in the enclosure at one time today. Altogether, they totaled eight.
Here Magnus keeps watch over her precious fortress. She likes to have it all to herself.

Still not a cat person

Our cat still wants to snuggle the bunnies, but they have not warmed up to the idea.

"What a deception."

"This cabbage isn't real and there is no food in the bowl."

Mochi loves late night tv

TBS: Very Bunny

Claim jumpers

The bunnies now have a whole bedroom to themselves where they can run around on the floor. I left the cage door open so the Kiwis could come and go, and then I found these two white rascals invading the "lops only" parking zone.

"Get the hint, Ma!"

The Three Amigos have a recommended fruit and veggie reference posted above their cage. But they stare me down as if it were the menu. To check the list, see http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/diet.html.

"Can we keep him, Mama?"

Today we found a turtle in the driveway. When I tried to show it to Mochi, he just hopped right in the box.

"Don't touch my boy!"

JD does not like Hugs. Mochi consistently intervened to keep JD from nipping at his son, Hugs, through the wire.

Playing mirror

Mochi and Hugs re-enact that famous scene with Harpo and Lucy.

I love you Daddy!

We recently modified our outside exercise pen so that it is divided into sections. When Mochi and Hugs are out at the same time, they cannot stop visiting each other. Perhaps Mochi really does remember that this is his son, even though they were separated for a year and half.

A typical day...

..in the house of the Three Amigos.

Chow time!

The Three Amigos always huddle around the bowl until the pellets are gone. It doesn't matter if there is not room for all three faces in there, they only lift their head to finish chewing and then swallow.

Best Buddies

Mochi shows Ickus some brotherly love.

Doesn't need a tux

It's a clip-on, but of course it's not clipped on.

The Huddle Buddies

We started to refer to JD, Ickus, and Mochi as "The Three Amigos". I think the reason is obvious.

Happy Bunniversary!
