How to bond rabbits and not have a meltdown !

Key word here "DON'T DO IT ". If you have ever dealt with introducing a new rabbit to others already settled into the house you will understand.For 4 months I have been trying to get a new rabbit Pete to live with Charlie and Em. Well I have lost. So last week I went and got Pete a buddy.Aja the cutest little mini lop. She loves to give you love bites.
So here we sit in the kitchen bonding. We are doing very well for the first time. Aja is trying to type. Next she will be rearranging the cage.
So now I have 2 cage setups in the yard. Had to buy a new pen yesterday. And then they asked for toys and more fresh hay. Well that took a day of pay.. Oh well I love them what can I say.
When they finally get happy together life will be calm, (for awhile away).

No Energy

I have not been here for awhile. Being tired leads to lack of typing. Why am I so tired? Good question.Very simple answer -- LIFE--. Lets see dad is a constant. Not a big one but just constant. You need to brush your teeth, take a shower. How about open your windows you room smells. (done with more tactfulness) (sometimes).
I know I am lucky he is really so easy to help out. But dad was an MCP when he was young why should he change. He used to tell my mom how to vote.

I know people who have to change diapers, who's relatives have gotten mean.Can not dress themselves. I am so lucky for the time being.

I sometimes sit here and wonder why I ended up with another child. At 54 I should be relaxing. Well almost I still have a 13 yo floating around. By the way we have to bring her into the picture. She is turning out to be a great House work,homework and just nice to be with. We still have our moments, but hey we are mom and daughter.

Now on to rabbits. OMG. First Em got sick. so for a month I have been getting well. When I walked out of the vets with antibiotics and syringes in had, the vet looked so sad. They never thought they would see me again. Well Em and I proved her wrong. Shots every day and hot compresses to one very big abscess.

Thank you for the thing popping when I was holding her (they would of freaked out.
It was not to bad, so much stuff in it, 2 washcloths full.
But she is better and back to being an independent bitch.
I tired bonding them again but to no help from Charlie, the fat white male. All he did was chase Pete. I thought he was going to have a heart attack.But he got Pete under the chin with a good scratch. So the newly designed cage has a divider in the center.
Sunday at home depot I bought some sod. They are in love with it their own grass.
Well time to warm up the car and get kid to school.
