Benny the Bunny!

I apologize for the lack of an update/post. Our internet stopped working last Friday night and was finally back up and working yesterday afternoon. When the guy finally came over, it only took him literally about 2 minutes to fix it! It so frustrating because I was working on it for hours and hours thinking there was a virs or something. I shouldn't say frustrating, should be humbling at how skilled he is and how skilled I am not. But I suppose it really did give me a chance to read more and see about any virus's on the computer.

But anyhow... as you can see... Lisa and I now have a new addition to our family! Yay! We bought him on an impulse buy last Thursday after class. We had been seeing a lot of very, very cute puppies all around and had been thinking about getting a dog. However, when we saw a vendor selling fish, turtles and bunnies right on the street out front of our school, we bought one!

His name is Benny the Bunny. (Although to tell you the truth, we aren't quite sure if he is a boy or girl. But don't tell "him" that. Ha-ha) He's a very active little critty. He loves to run around and play. Lisa was trying to teach him his name last night by calling him and beckonining him over with food. Which, I should tell you, is his favorite job. (Lisa and him are related. Ha-ha) This little guy can eat, and eat, and eat.

We looked up rabbit care on Thursday, but then of course, since we haven't had the internet until yesterday, we haven't known anything else about care for him. He's still doing great though. We learned that rabbits evidently have 70% of their diet as hay, but there isnt' any hay available here. He has been getting celerly, carrots as treats since they have more sugar and shouldn't be given a whole lot, cabbage, green beans he apparently discovered last night, bread he even eats, and that's about it thus far. We have to go to Wal-Mart and get him some raddish and other foods.

We just don't know yet how much he should be eating. Need to look that up. This guy is always foraging and looking for food. I hide the food all around the room to make him look for it.

Lisa was actually getting tired of him already! Terrible! She wanted to re-sell him to somebody! We just didn't know at the time that rabbits are more care than we thought. He isn't quite potty trained yet as that was annoying to clean up his pee in different areas around the room. It smells worse than dog pee btw too in case you were interested! Ha-ha.

But he is definitely adorable and fun to play with. Has his own personality and loves to get into trouble by exploring into rooms he is not allowed. He try to only keep him in the living room b/c of his peeing and all.
He says hi to everyone. Definitely brings us some cheer here. :)
