We think Daisy’s rogue approach to stair traversal (Liz has purportedly seen Daisy leap over Phineas while coming down the stairs) led to one of Phineas’ spills. And he’s been pretty hesitatnt to come up ever since.

Bunny Close Ups
Last night, as Liz was clipping the nails on the rabbits… I got some close-up photos. Look at that mug!
Face Smoosh
Funny side note: both Daisy and Phineas are the jealous type. There will be some nose butts if they see you petting the other. Daisy is the worst though, in that she’ll try to come up and plop down alongside Phineas, hoping to get in (or take over) the action.
Top of the World, Ma!
Hung out with the bunnies last night, and snapped this photo of Phineas atop the bunny cottage. He was cracking me up because, at the right angle, he’s got this super huge, disapproving frown going on.
Lazy Sunday Bun Day
Last weekend, I spent a lot of Sunday hanging out in the living room (aka our bedroom). And the bunnies were pretty much doing the same thing – hanging out on the new rug (and in the new bunny cottage).
A New Old Rug for the Bunny Rabbits
While they have carpet in their open pen area, we felt a larger space could give them room to sprint. Whenever the bunnies get super excited or happy, you’ll see them on a tear (similar to what a cat might do). During these phases, Liz and I have taken to saying that they’ve “got the hops.”
Daisy, Dinner
Whenever it’s dinnertime, Daisy has this habit of grabbing a ton of greens all at once. If it’s a large enough bunch, she’ll start to lean her head back, more and more, as she chews – almost as if she’s slowly overwhelmed by how much she’s trying to put down, in one shot.
Bunny Power Struggle
Hard to see it here, but there’s a small struggle for power taking place. Mostly, it’s Phineas and Daisy being cute. But originally, it was just Phineas sitting next to me.
The Bunny Rabbits are Remodeling Their House, Just Like Us
The funny thing to keep in mind is: Daisy is essentially doing a ton of demo in the bunny rabbit cottage, which exists inside our house… where we are doing a ton of renovations.
Bunny Buddies
It’s hard to imagine that there was a time when these two were wary of one another. In the early days, Phineas was a bit territorial… but they’re pretty inseparable.
An Emergency Visit for Phineas
Tonight, he just never seemed to catch his breath. Liz picked him up to try to see if maybe he injured his feet (he didn’t). And while our bunnies are fairly friendly, they never like being picked up. Liz scooped up Phineas way too easily.
New Door Thumper
We are fast becoming a house just filled with rabbit-related stuff (and actual rabbits too). At the rate we’re accruing rabbit-related art prints and such, I’m wondering what’s going to happen when we finally get around to putting artwork up on the walls…
The Bunny Rabbits Get a New Start
On Saturday, in addition to picking up the hardware for our new security door… we also picked up a roll of new carpet. Because Phineas has been in his area for so long now, we decided it would be best to relocate both bunnies to a completely new space – totally neutral and new to both.
Bunny Rabbit Bonding in the Bathroom (Neutral Ground)
Using a technique Liz had learned about when we were bonding Quincy and Baxter, she decided to put both rabbits in the same carrier… and took them on a car ride. This “shared stress” experience, followed immediately by a meeting on neutral ground, was supposed to help.
First Bunny Rabbit Bonding Session
Yesterday, we set up an area in the hallway upstairs for the rabbits to meet and bond. We wanted to find some neutral space to avoid any territorial bias, and since Phineas has never been upstairs… this was the best spot we could think of.
