Today Nate and I decided to go and get a bigger cage for Biscuit. He was sort of outgrowing the one that he had so it was definitely time. We went back to the pet shop that we got him at because PetSmart didn’t have a very good assortment of cages, and we thought we might want to look into finally adopting the second (and final) bunny. So after we got done with some chores and a big grocery shopping trip- we went.
As soon as we looked at the bunnies we saw him- he was the only English Spot bunny with brown on him. His markings are so pretty and once we held him we knew that we had to have him! His pretty little markings gave us the idea for the name Freckles, and I think we’ll be sticking with that. =)
Once we got everything home we set up the new cage for Biscuit and I scrubbed out the old one for Freckles. Yes, he has a hand me down cage. True siblings. Or are they? Because I mean, I’ve never had any siblings .. but I’m pretty sure my older brother wouldn’t try to hump me. Especially not if I was also a boy. And especially not if he had already been FIXED. WHAT IS THIS. I didn’t see this coming. People told me that bunnies got a long and loved each other- playing joyfully together. At least when they’re spayed/neutered and certainly when they’re both of the same gender! So why is Biscuit trying to rape Freckles?! Like, poor Freckles is 1/4 the size of Biscuit and he’s terrified. I’m really hoping that after a little bit of time together that this gets better… but to be honest friends, I’m a little worried. Separate play time may be an unfortunate reality.
Overall, I think (hope) this was a good decision.. because I’m not the kind of person who adopts a pet and returns it or whatever. I basically just adopted a child. So, we’ll be working this out one way or another.
And now for the weekend round up:
This picture makes me laugh. I’m still dressed and Nate is in his bball shorts.
Day 99 of 365 Days of Marriage
Car ridin’ around town!
Day 100 of 365 Days of Marriage
In celebration of our 100th day- a new addition to the family!!
I have a fun little video blog to share with you all from Saturday but it’s literally been uploading ALL DAY LONG. It made it to 83% and I accidentally shut my laptop. Genius move, I know. We have a few downloads going on the other computer as well so I’m thinking that has a lot to do with it taking like 12 hours. Whatever.. I guess you’ll see it tomorrow! Check back in the morning. =] It’s simple but I had fun making it. Hope you all have a fabulous rest of your Sunday night. Goodnight!
That is one of my worst fears with having bunnies- sudden death. I hope that the rest of our babies have long and happy lives.. and that maybe they can learn to get along! I never suspected they'd not like each other, but maybe it'll get better!
Freckles is adorable!!!! Love <3
