Blanco has still been settling in nicely. He has still been spraying pee a bit at me - most of the time I think it is because I startle him or he feels that "his space' is being threatened, but yesterday he seemed to do it "just because."
People have assured me that it's just his hormones and that it still takes about 6 weeks after neutering for them to calm down a bit. We shall see!

He still does not like me  picking him up. Part of it, I am sure, is my lack of confidence when trying....and NOT trying enough! To get him from the play area to the hutch I have to bribe him into the carrier with a carrot then transport him that way. Someday I hope to just pick him up and bring him over, but for now I am thankful the carrier method works easily! Luckily he is very food motivated - even getting him from having the run of the yard back into the hutch is easy with the right food!

Craig and I are in the beginning stages of planning the new bunny home. We knew his hutch / x-pen area were just going to be temporary. We plan on still getting Blanco a bunny buddy, so we want to coincide a new home with when we get Blanco's new friend so that there are no territorial issues with the old setup. There are SO MANY amazing setup ideas online - this one is my dream setup, if only we had grass!
My *DREAM* setup!

Chinning mom....and to think he was labeled "aggressive!"

  2. Thank you so much Samantha. I am trying so hard to give him a nice life even though I can't keep him inside with the dog and cat. I am learning as I go along. It means a lot to read your comment because I just want this little guy to be happy. :)

  4. Hello Debbie, you're welcome! :) Thank you for giving Blanco a second chance and a loving forever home <3 I'm sure he appreciates it! :) I have two adorable and playful bunnies for 3+ years. There's never a dull moment with them by my side. I've learnt a lot from websites e.g. rabbit.org and made wonderful bunny-loving friends throughout these years. I believe our bunnies are our blessings too, and I'm thankful for them <3
