Ever since we moved to our new apartment, we’ve had Baxter and Quincy living in separate pens next to one another. Very recently, we were happy to see they were getting along with one another… and we moved them both to the same area (the sun room). About a week ago, we opened up the…
It’s been a long long time leading up to now, but I’m happy to say that our two rabbits (Baxter and Quincy) are now officially sharing the same space. For months now, ever since we brought Quincy back home with us, the two of them have been in separate pens. To get the adjusted to…
Last night was time for the bunnies to get a little ear cleaning. Liz set up the kitchen table as a makeshift work area, and got out a blanket for the “bunny burritos.” For those who haven’t seen it before, the burrito method ensures that a rabbit won’t thrash or try to run away when…
Ever since Quincy joined us, Liz and I have been trying to get him and Baxter to bond. We’ve been off and on with this bonding process, and as of today the two of them are still in separate pens. Overall, the bonding sessions have been pretty good. There was one really bad fight between…
Day two of our new apartment. Again, we spent a lot of today unpacking boxes. I never knew we owned so much crap. It’s staggering, really, to see it all in a lump all at once. Today we concentrated on the kitchen, and got the whole area cleared out. The countertops are a bit more…

So we went in to the vet and got Baxter checked out yesterday. There was a routine examination, along with an x-ray, and a long period of waiting around in one of the rooms. Ultimately, the diagnosis was something like gastro-intestinal stasis. There was a possible blockage or inflammation in her secum, and we got…
This morning, when I came by to give Baxter her breakfast, she stayed inside her little box. Normally, she’s waiting as I’m approaching, with her paws up on the cage (sometimes even standing on her hind legs). She’s a lover of food, and there’s no more dangerous place to be than between Baxter and her…
Liz and I got a nice gift from Chris and Leslie, who just got back from Japan a few days ago. It was a great looking DVD of Bunnies, but beyond that… we had no idea what to expect. We had to try a few different approaches in order to view the DVD. Due to…
Our newest rabbit, Quincy, has a thing for people food. If he smells food on your hands, or if he can tell you’ve eaten something recently… he’ll come in for a quick inspection. Don’t let the cuteness fool you. This is a deadly standoff.
I’m proud to officially introduce you to Professor Quincy Snugglesworth, the newest member of our household. Liz and I had different favorite names for the bunny, so we ended up compromising. Overall, we liked Mr. Darcy, but as he gradually became more comfortable… that name didn’t seem to fit as much. We both ended up…
Last night, after catching up with Justin for some post-work drinks and sushi, Liz swing by to pick us both up. It turns out, we had a few other passengers in the car as well. Liz has been reading up on the whole “bonding” process for rabbits for some time, and recently came across a…
Woke up yesterday AM, and as I was walking to kitchen… noticed something sitting on the couch. I was groggy, and at first wasn’t 100% sure what I was looking at. But it slowly dawned on me that the rabbit we brought home had somehow ecaped his pen. And was just… you know. Hanging out…
These photos are from a second meeting between Baxter and Marciano (who we have yet to rename). We’ve got them on top of our bed, hopping around a few layers of blankets. We’re hoping that having the bunnies meet on neutral ground will make the transition smoother, and allow the two to pair bond a…
After our last visit to Red Door Animal Shelter, Liz and I talked about which suitor would be best for Baxter. Though extremely tiny and cute, we decided not to go with Bun Bun. Instead, we felt that Marciano would make the better choice. While I usually like to keep an animal’s given name, Liz…
