Snowflake turns two

Snowflake officially turned two on the 16th of November! I am so grateful for my bunny companion that has offered me his love, loyalty and affection through the good times and bad. He stole my heart from the very first day and I am so lucky to have my furry friend. Happy 2nd birthday Snowflake!

Chilling out

I love it when Snowflake just flops down and rests, he looks so damn relaxed! Not a care in the world!

Bunny Exercise

I have the world's laziest bunny ever. Half the time I see it lying down and the other half, it's eating. Anyways, it was a nice sunny day outside so I decided to take my bunny for a run in the backyard. Take it out, place it on the lawn and it just sits there.

My fat bundle of joy :D
I never realised how fat it's gotten.

Finally I managed to make it move, it is the slowest rabbit I've ever seen. Check out the video:



After I decided to take it back in because it's fur was getting a bit warm and place it in his playpen and first thing he does, Lies DOWN!!!


I love my snowflake <3

More Bunny fashion

I don't know any store that actually sells rabbit clothing because rabbits are not meant to wear any clothes but these dog clothes fit just fine and they're absolutely adorable! The dog is a better model!

Meet my occasional pet 'Tommy'

Tommy taking a nap in the backyard

Let me introduce to you 'Tommy' my occasional pet. What is with the word occasional? Well, every now and then I get a visit from this black and white cat whom I've named Tommy. Ok, it's not my cat...but it comes over so often it might as well be, right? (I have no idea who it belongs to)

The Pros&Cons of having an occasional pet

Pros			Cons
Don’t need to buy cat food Don’t need to clean kitty poop Don’t need to have responsibilities. Short term and Cheaper than having a pet cat. Don’t need to deal with the loss of the animal No fur accumulation No scratched furniture			It doesn’t come when you call its given name It runs away from you in fact Only get to see it occasionally Don’t get to play with it

It seems the pros outweigh the cons, ahh having an occasional pet cat is better than having the real thing. I'll just need to teach it to come to me..Do you have an occasional pet?

Vegetarian Diet for Dogs

This concept was brought to my attention when I watched the movie 'Seven Pounds' where Emily's dog only ate steamed broccoli and tofu (wtf?). The idea of 'good' people corresponded to vegans and vegetarians very subtly in the movie. I didn't know it was possible to have a vegetarian dog and wondered whether it was cruel and if the dogs would be malnutrition. So I googled Vegetarian dogs and and according to a vegan website, it is possible and healthy for a dog to be vegetarian and can reduce risks of 'cancers, strokes, heart attacks, and other common diseases and disorders.' Dogs are omnivores just like us, however certain guidelines has to be followed to ensure a balanced diet for a dog, here's a site with some tips from transitioning your dog into a vegetarian, enjoy - Click Here.

A little bit of Snowflake

My beautiful Snowflake playing in the backyard :)

Snowflake & Puffball

My pet bunny!!!

Hurrahh!!! Finally the day has come and I got to take home my little snowflake! I haven't bought a carrier yet so it came in a box!

Weee!! Look how tiny it is!! 7 and a half weeks old!!!

At first it didn't dare to climb up the ramp and we put it at the top floor and it was running and it didn't realise the ramp was there so it fell halfway down the ramp!!! Poor bunny!! but after that lesson, it could run up and down the ramp easily!

I love it when it lies down all stretched out!! So adorable!!!

Meet Snowflake!!!!

Weee, I got pictures of my baby bunny!!! I get to pick it up on Friday morning (2nd Jan)!! I can't wait!! Gonna go shopping for the rest of the bunny accessories today!! It looks like a white rabbit at the moment, but as it gets older the nose and the ears will get slightly greyer. It looks like it has blue eyes!!

Rabbit update

Unfortunately, Sunshine's anticipated birth didn't produce any orange offsprings so I've decided to get a frost-point bunny instead. The frost point means that the extremes (points) of the body i.e. nose, ears, feet and tail are coloured by a bluey-grey colour while the rest of the body is cream/white.

EXAMPLE BUNNY COLOUR

I will be able to pick up the bunny around January the 9th but will know closer to the date! :D I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY RABBIT!!!

A trip to Mundaring

No, this entry has nothing to do with Lil' Caesars as much as I would like to gulp down a dessert pizza... Ok I lied, we tried going there but it didn't open til 4pm so we went home..

But before all that... MY RABBIT TRIP TO CHECK OUR BABY BUNNIES!!!! with Robert and Felicia!! So I finally get to check out my baby bunnies, after a handful of emails, but they didn't have any orange babies in the litter, so I'm waiting for the next lot of kits to arrive and hopefully there will be some orange babies!@!

This is me and a black bunny! The lady was really nice, I got to hold an even smaller bunny earlier and she kept giving me bunnies to hold and pet and take pictures of :D. Apparently the majority of the minilops in WA are all hers! She bred dwarf lops and the smallest of the lot was bred together and so on and so forth.

This is robbie with the black bunny, isn't he adorable! This was was ready to go, it's 8 weeks old, but I didn't want a black one, although it was so obedient and cute!!
If you lie a bunny straight on its back, you can put it in a trance, I've never seen this done before but the lady was showing us with another bunny. What you do is you hold its head firmly and lay it on its back and stroke its tummy and it will just lay there very still. She told us that with some bunnies, they would be so deep in a trance that you could perform procedures on it.
Another picture of bunny on its back.

I love this picture, the ears of the lop are the custest feature!

Felicia's rabbit doesn't like being held and the lady gave her some tips on how to handle the rabbit and train it to be obedient, etc. (Fel in a pen!)

Orange butteryfly babies!!! I WANTTT!!! but they were already reserved. She had 39 bookings and 20 rabbits to sell haha. The white bunny with the black ears and eyes and nose is because she bred two butterfly bunnies together.

Black butterfly bunnies!!! how cute! it's like the bunny version of dalmations!


Ahhh, not only did the rabbit lady have bunnies, she also had different breeds of cats (British shorthair, scotish fold, ragdoll, can't remember the rest) as well as these chickens that had the prettiest feathers. She had a puffy chicken and this other one that looked all puffed up, didn't take pictures, but it was really cute.

Kitten litter, how tiny are they?

This is one of my favourite pictures, they are so photogenic, such a kodak moment. It'll make a great calender pic! They all have blue eyes!! (Ragdoll kittens)

Rabbit clothing

I can't seem to find many sites with rabbit clothing so I researched into it and found that it may cause injury to the rabbit and find it irritatiing although some rabbits are ok with it. I still think it's cute though.. look at this picture i found on google images!

Bunny-craze 2

As you probably know, from my previous entry, I am rather enthusiatic about getting a bunny wabbit. Rob has agreed to purchase all things bunny-related for my upcoming 21st birthday which is probably my ideal 'perfect' present, in my mind. Anyhoos, I've been searching for a mini-lop far and low, by taking a trip to several pet shops ranging from the rabbit shop, pets paradise to pet magic (located in SUCCESS suburb, there's quite a few shops there, check it out if you have the time). I'm am also looking for anything associated with bunnies, hutches, leashes, clothes, food! I've seen dwarf lops, chinchillas, netherland dwarfs, velvet lops and possibly more but no mini lops. *:(*

I've decided to look for private breeders and came up with only one ad for mini-lops in Perth. *celebrates*. She calls herself the "Rabbit Lady" and lives in Mundaring. I got a little carried-away and sent like two emails via the Website for free ads, asking for an orange bunny and then later deciding that I wanted to check out the colours first. (This was on the weekend). By the Monday, I hadn't received any emails and I thought maybe the ads weren't relevant anymore and found her email on yet another site and emailed her for the third time.

So as I was scrolling through my new emails today, I found three emails from this lady in response to my bunny-craze spam. *hides in shame*

Email one:

Hello Mavis,
Thanks for your enquiry.
I currently have no more rabbit babies ready to leave, the ones I advertised sold fast. I do have a couple of litters which are only 10 days old and 2 days old, which will be ready to leave about December 6 and 16, ..... You would certainly be very welcome to have a look at them, though it would probably be better a bit later, when the colours and sexes are clearer. Perhaps you could contact me again in a week or two, and you will have lots of babies to look at!...etc

Email two:

I will almost certainly have some orange or orange butterfly babies available for Christmas...etc..etc.. I think I already replied to another enquiry from you earlier today.

Email three: (you can almost see her laughing at this point)

Ah, you have been busy following up on ads Mavis! I think I answered your question earlier, etc, etc..

So I got the thumbs up for checking out the babies beforehand but still decided to put in a reservation for an orange bunbun and get a fourth reply of;

Email four:

I had to laugh at getting 3 messages from you in a row, you must be very keen! I have pencilled your name in for an orange Lop baby, and look forward to seeing you when you come to have a look.

Lol, keen much? i want a bunny :)

I want a bunny!

I've been meaning to get a bunny for a very long time, ended up with birds instead but still want to get a bunny!! I saw fel's bunny the other day which is a dwarf lop, which can be seen on her blog here.

I want to get a mini lop. Which is similar to a dwarf lop but its maximum weight is 1.6 kg whereas the dwarf lop can grow up to 2.5 kg. I'm not sure where to get one though, might have to find a private breeder.

Googled mini lop

Went into the "Rabbit shop" introduced by Fel, which is located near garden city, just off Norma Road on Unit 10, 20 Sheilds Cres. It's actually a veterinary practice that does all the vaccinations and stuff but they also sell bunnies, (and breed them) and other miscellaneous stuff such as hutches, food, water bottles, etc. Rabbit lovers paradise! :P

Netherland Dwarfs

The Netherland dwarfs are soo adorable, smallest breed of the bunnies, maximum weight of 1.2kg! But I like the lops because of their ears and they're said to have the best personality whereas the netherland dwarfs are not suitable for children, as they are associated with bad temperament. (Garden city pet shop has some baby netherland dwarfs at the moment).

Velvet lop

The Velvet lops is a combination of the Rex rabbit and the Dwarf lop. As the name mentions, their fur is really soft (like velvet) and they do not molt as much as other rabbits, so it's good for people with allergies!

I want a bunny...
