Garden Update

Today I went in to my green house and I noticed that there were 2 radishes that where ready to be pulled out, so I pulled them out and they looked like this:

I wanted to save the radish part for later so I just gave him just the greens!
We also gave him some rose petals-he loved all of it.
The wheat grass in my garden is doing well also.
 Otherwise everything in my garden is doing fine.


We have radishes, turnips, beets, carrots, 3 kinds of lettuce,
 collards, cilantro, dandelion, garlic, onion all growing in our winter greenhouse.

Christmas Bunny

 Storm has been loving laying under the Christmas tree since we got it
but it gives my cat punkin a new idea on how to hunt Storm. 

 Storm loves the lights we put on the tree, so we had to make sure they 
were not on the ground so he could not chew on them.

We put all the soft and puffy ornaments on the bottom, so if they fell they would not break.                       On the bottom, Storm can enjoy the ornaments too!

Storm can't wait for Christmas!

Christmas with Bunnies

This year is going to be Storm's first Christmas and I don't really know how healthy the pine tree would be  for him; so I did some research.

One thing you should do to your Christmas tree is to leave 2 bottom rows with no lights on them, so that your bunny can't chew on the light bulbs.

If you have a free range bunny and you can't watch them all the time, you should get something to cover the base of the Christmas tree, because you don't want your bunny drinking the water from the tree.

Where all the main cords come together, you might want to put them in a small box, that you can fit under the tree so your bunny's sharp teeth won't chew the cords and hurt them. Make sure the box has a lid to keep bunny out, because I know Storm likes to go in boxes and hop on them. If all the cords can't fit in the box just wrap them in a towel.

If you like to use a tree skirt and now you have a bunny, don't use a tree skirt. You will have to put it away within minutes because bunny might poop, pee-pee, nip, dig and tear at it.  You will probably want to just put down an old beach towel.

Your bun will love laying under the Christmas tree with  your wrapped presents, but bunny will  try to chew on the wrapping paper, which can be toxic.  Keep presents off the ground and don't let bunny eat them.

HOPPY HOLIDAYS

For this painting I used a program called ArtRage and used a tablet and a drawing pen on the tablet.

Storm's New Diet

I wanted to put Storm on a new diet.  I started to research healthy diets for bunnies and I am interested in a pellet free diet.  Here are some foods that rabbits can eat:

  • Basil
  • seeds (they can't be salted or have chemicals on them)
  • Broccoli leaves (stems or tops can make rabbits gassy)
  • Beet greens
  • Carrot tops (carrots are high in calcium and should be given sparingly)
  • Celery
  • Cilantro
  • Clover
  • Collard greens
  • Dandelion leaves
  • Dill
  • Kale (sparingly)
  • Lettuce - romaine or dark leaf (no iceberg lettuce and no cabbage)
  • Mint
  • Mustard greens
  • Oats
  • Radish tops
  • Parsley
  • Turnip greens
  • Water cress
  • Wheat Grass
  • Wheat Berries

Treats

Strawberries
Banana
Apples (no seeds)
Pineapple

 He started the diet little by little, so far Storm likes to eat the fresh greens.   That's why I started a bunny garden http://stormthebunny.blogspot.com/p/storms-bunny.html

Storm's new crib


My dad and I built Storm a new cage. We aren't finished yet, 
we still want to put in a little cubby for storm to sleep in and a ramp for him to play on.


We recycled the cage out of a baby crib we got for free.  
Then we added a door, wire, some wood to hold up the bottom and a roof.  
I can't wait to paint it.  What color should it be?
Please leave a comment.



I think Storm likes his new cage because he has more room to hop around and do binkies.  



 We take storm inside at night and take him out to his crib, in the day. We will mostly keep him inside in the summer time and outside in the winter, because it usually doesn't get too cold for him in California!
