New Bunnah! (not dial up friendly!)

LAST ONE till we move. I finally got a hotot! Baby hotot mix, actually. Thus far, she's been a very good submissive bunny, bowing her head to the adults for sniffs and kisses which she has recieved. Bowie, being the laid back charmer that he is, took a nap with the baby. They seem to be treating her as their own baby. Do we have good luck with bonding, or what? *knocks on wood* And wow, the girl loves her some hay! I bet she's never had any real hay before. Nothing really phases her, but after being in a giant tub of shavings with two dozen other rabbits and guinea pigs next to the screeching macaws, I don't imagine anything would. VERY laid back, tame and snuggly. And so tiny!

We're calling her Unut, after the mysterious Egyptian hare headed goddess that was originally a snake goddess. "The Swift One." She has such an Egyptian vibe. :) Must be the eyes. Karen picked out the name, and I love it! I said "Do you love her to bits?" Karen says "I love her to pixels!"

btw, I'll appreciate no "dinner" comments here. There's a difference to me between feeders and pets, and these are my babies. Thanks!

On an unrelated note, Gomez is not the most skilled typist and he is not as helpful as he thinks he is. lol!

We had a little one like that when my kids were young named Mr. Mr. No I didn't pick the name. Your baby is so cute. :wuv: Luv pic no. 1.

Ohmygosh.....serious cuteness overload here, Sheree! Just TOO sweet!!!


....where's my toothbrush?? :P

Soooo cute....that first pic is wonderful! :D Congrats!!! :sweeet:

What a darling bunbun! =)

OMG, that is the most adorable little bunny. :aww: Congrats on the new addition. :gj:

That first pic is my fave too, what a money shot! Unut is a hyper little sweetie, my older mellower bunnies aren't quite sure what to make of her yet.

Hehe, Mr. Mr, that's cute. Unut got out of being named Kyser Soze in being a girl ;)

OMG! How cute! I'm so jealous. I used to have a bunny.

oww its adorable!
I would have called it cleo after well you know..the egyptian thing is dead on!

i always wanted a bunny with long floppy ears. when ever we go to the Wisconsin Sate Fair they have the show rooms for bunnies that enter the "show" and I always try to squeeze my fingers in to pet them, the are just precious!

Our cat's name is Cleo, so we've already done that one ;) We'll probably get a mini lop eventually, but as the cleaner of litter boxes I draw the line at 4 bunnies!

You have utterly piqued my curiosity: How hard is it to train a rabbit to use a litter box?

Not very! They're very clean animals, really. Karen says they're her quiet litter trained puppy dogs... that clean themselves like cats. /(^v^)\ We'll see how Unut does at potty training, but they usually pick a corner in their cage and you just put the litter box there. Daphne established which corner is the litter box corner, and Bowie (and hopefully Unut!) merely follow suit. There will sometimes be stray "terratory" poops, but they're easy to clean up and usually stops after they're established in a new cage/or with new bunnies.

Once they got used to that, I set up an extra litter box in the livingroom by the TV that they sometimes use too, but usually Daphne uses it as a lounging bed instead, lol! I need to change the litter box more often than the cat box, course there's more of them and Bowie drinks a *lot* of water with his extra high body temp.

Here's the best site on rabbit litter training, and other houserabbit goodies. I'd have been lost without this site! http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/litter.html

Sheree, she is so cute! Congrats on the new addition! Lets hope Gomez doesnt get jealous..

If you get a mini lop, you should name it Bun-Bun :P I dunno if you've ever read sluggy freelance...although I havn't read the comic in quite some time.

Oh she's a cutie! Now educate me please, what exactly does "hottot" mean? Love her eyes! Congrats on the new furry family member.

Awe, I am lovin the permanent eyeliner! (wish I had the same thing myself, hehe.)

Nah, Jamie, it's Cleo's job to get jealous, and it's usually of Gomez and the bunnies! lol, Gomez was cruising all over my hands and the keyboard when I was typing up that post.

Oooh no, I'm not naming a lop Bun-bun, that's just asking for trouble, lol! :colbert: I've managed to avoid naming pets after my favorite villains too, but when the snake collection gets big enough... no promises

Hotot is a particular breed, just like there's breeds of cats and dogs. Hotots are the white rabbit breed with black eyeliner eyes, and they tend to have a particular face/body type too. My other two are dutch mixes (at least I think Daphne is a dutch mix, she's harder to tell, by her face shape I'd guess there's some dwarf in her too) and Unut is a hotot mix which is to say... a mutt with obviously hotot ancestry. Not sure why they call that breed hotots, but I guess it's better than being called a "labradoodle"? ;)

There's lots of rabbit breeds; English lop, angora, lionhead, hotot, dutch, Flemish giant, chinchilla (they have fur that looks like a chinchilla!), french lop, havanna, himilayan, mini rex, netherland dwarf, blah, blah, blah... Hotots are my fave, so Unut was a very lucky find! Doesn't matter to me that she's not a "pure" hotot, my bunnies are pets and not show quality anywho.

You and me both, Ginevive!
