Legolas the Elf

Introducing for the first time ever... Legolas!! My new bunny!!

What did you say?? He looks just like Abraham?? Wahaha!! That's because he is Abraham!! I have decided to adopt him despite the fact that my Girl still hates him although I am sure she appreciates having him there (on the other side of the grill). I have renamed him Legolas which is a character in the Lords of the Rings trilogy because I thought that he looks very alert and his ears are standing up just like an elf.

I have not tried bonding them again due to my Girls bout with GI stasis. But the other night while Abraham is out to play, I was playing with Morticia and she slipped out of her cage. She ran up to Lego and smelled him. And he smelled her back. So everything was ok and I thought 'Are they finally gonna bond??'.

The answer to my question is negative and before I can blink my eye or shout 'Yay!' they were at each other's throat and fur was flying about!! I quickly separated them and had to monitor my Girl to see if she will get Stasis again. Lucky she is ok.

A week later I was stroking Lego and i found a hard lump on his side. Further inspection shows 2 bite marks scabs which is caused by Morty's teeth. And I didn't notice!! I was too busy fussing over Morty I did not see that he was bleeding!! Aiz... I feel so bad that he got injured yet did not show it. He is really a good boy. My girl... Sigh...

Sorry Didi, mommy will fuss over you more ok??

The Pee Pee Strikes Again

Backlog...

After the bout of having my girl sleep beside me every night, there had been no pee pee incidents - accidental or intentional - until...

This happened a few days after I got Abraham. She must be very jealous of him and she's doing this to 'claim' me again. Sigh... Meimei... Mummy still love you more than Didi...

Bias... Bias... Bias... Yes I admit it myself.

I was quite angry at first for this but after looking at her I was like... Forget it... She's my honey bunny (I call her that coz she looks like a honey bear when she is standing). She's just letting me know how she feels. HAHA!! Excuses!! I bet I will be those mom who pamper her kids, as if I am gonna have any, and let them do whatever they want even if it irritates the hell out of the rest of the world. Oh no!! Please dun make me such a mom... Aiz... Forget it, its ok even if I will be such a mom... Wahaha!!

Strangely after this incident she did not do it again and she also did not want to play with me so much. Also I am a little sad coz my girl is no longer sleeping beside me at night. It stopped the night I got Abraham. Maybe she thinks I dun love her anymore so I am being very bias now. Sayang her more than Abraham when I am home. I am a bad mom!! But sigh... I think its too late and I lost my girl again...

I bought this dog bed for my girl very cheaply from Pets Station at Jurong Point. Only $8. Its of cheap quality and its only for fun to see if she would sleep on it beside me as the floor is quite cold at night. She promptly peed on it and shredded it. I guess I got my answer.

Meimei... Why you so naughty?? Sigh... Want mummy to puke blood is it?? Aiyah... Forget it lar... Get you a new one when you are done with this.

Bonding Day 18

Backlog...

I dunno what's up with my girl and Abraham. After a few weeks together, they are still not getting along. At times they seems like they are getting along but at the wink of the eye they would be at each others throat.

It seems that my girl is not ready to accept a new partner yet. She tolerates Abraham being there and can even lie beside him but will run away when he tries to sniff her butt (dun laugh that's what rabbits do to get acquainted).

Also there is still the problem of sharing food. Abraham still growls when people try to get close to his food at chow time. So I guess I will wait a bit longer to decide.

Anyhow I think most prob I will keep Abraham even though they dun seem to click yet. Getting a little attached now. My sis in law loves him too. HAHA!!

Bonding Day 4

Today is the 4th day of the bunnies bonding. Yesterday night there was the usual scratching and biting through the cage. But I think it is improving. Each time they eye each other, they will fight. But after a few scratches, one or the other kinda got bored and will walk away. I found that Abraham dares to lie at the side or Morty's cage but Morty usually lie with her butt towards him I hope it means they are accepting each other. I will wait and see.

























Taken this morning before work and after some scratching.

Last night, Morty was very very manja. Sleeping with me all the way. So sweet. :op I think she knows now that I love her all along.

The Bond(ing) Disaster

This is the 3rd day since I brought the adopted bunny Abraham home and it has been a disaster!! The bunnies are fighting like mad and my girl is not happy at all with the new arrangement. :o(

It all started on Saturday. I brought my princess to the fosterer Jawskie's place to 'matchmake' my girl to 3 of his adoptables. Jawskie had posted an unmoderated adoption notice on HRSS's forum and I contacted him to see if we can arrange a meet-up for our bunnies. He had rescued them from an abandoned eco-centre where they had been living in very very horrible circumstances. We made an appointment and agreed that if it does not work out, I can bring the bunny back to Jawskie's place.

At first we put Morty with Toby for about 5 minutes. Everything was ok until the end when there was some foot thumping. Den we put Abraham with her. Everything seems fine. At last we put the final bunny Samson with her. There was also some foot thumping so in the end we felt that Abraham is the most promising. So we brought them home together. During the car ride, all was well but that was when all the happy times ended.

Immediately after they got home, they started fighting. Morty was super pissed about Abraham and started attacking him. Abraham attacked her back and all hell broke loose!! I separated them into 2 enclosures. Morty in her cage with Stewy doll and Abraham in an enclosure beside her. They started attacking each other through the grill and will stop if I scolded them. If Abraham walked pass her cage door she would rush over and try to attack him and vice versa.

















Once I climbed over into the enclosure and sayang Morty. Den I went to sayang Abraham but forgot to shut her door. She sneaked over through a small hole and attacked him biting a huge chunk of hair off his back!! That was when I decided to half Abraham's enclosure so that he will not pass her door.

After that starts the non-stop attacking through the grill and at night too. I had a sleepless night. On Sunday I was thinking if I had made the wrong choice as I find that Abraham is very jittery and there are war scars on him. When he is eating and I try to pat him, he will growl so I assume that food must be scarce where he was stranded at before. I proceeded to feed them and they started to fight through the grill again very very violently. I tried to stop them by scolding but no use. I put my hand in to stop them and WHAM!! My girl bit me by mistake. I let out a yelp and she stop halfway and stared at me. I scolded her and said 'Meimei!! You bit mummy's hands!! I'm bleeding now and it hurts!!' She look a bit embarrassed and quickly went to sit in a corner and looked at me with a 'I'm sorry' look (I know anyone reading this must think I am crazy for thinking this but I swear that rabbits understand humans and they know when they are at fault. They are very smart).

Ever since then they fight through the grill all the time. I sms Adeline and told her about it and she must be thinking 'I asked you to think properly first but you did not listen, now see what is happening' coz she did advised me before to think if this is what I want and what I think is best for Morty. But I see that she is so lonely everyday so I thought I should get her a new friend. She asked me how can I be so irresponsible and return a bunny I think is not suitable. If I already said I want to adopt den I have to accept it no matter good or bad. But... I have not committed. This is what has been agreed on with Jawskie. I think he knows that there might be problems too. He did not mention about the problems with the bunnies at first and only gave me his blog about them this morning when I asked him to described their characters and about the war scar and if they are solitary rabbits. I asked questions I should have asked on Saturday itself. After reading his blog, I find that Abraham is quite problematic and Toby has been returned before. After chatting with him on MSN, I found that he had expected Abraham to be returned too. After their scary past, they are quite traumatised.

I don't want to return him coz I think he is quite cute and I pity his past. But if he cannot get along with my girl, I will have to return him. Also I am afraid that when they start to share food, he might turn nasty when my girl goes and share his food with him. I know I am selfish but to me I feel that my girl is more important to me at the moment. AH!! I am a bad person!!!
