First Blog

This is our Mommy's first posting. She wanted to create a site where she could rave to others about how cool we are and how much she loves us. So, here it goes. For now, we will let her talk until she gets used to translating all of our talking to human speak.

Our white little cottonball is Coconut, she is a mini lionhead, or so we were told. Our vet thinks she might be an Angora. Whatever the case, she is fluffy and there is no end in sight for her fur growth. Coconut is rambunctious, outgoing, sassy and always wanting to be in everyones business! We got her from a breeder in Missouri after our baby lionhead, Willow, passed away unexpectedly. Since Coconut has arrived we started communicating with the Alabama Ears network in Birmingham and decided that Coconut needed a bun friend.

In comes Lucca and...Matilda...

Linda Howard is a fabulous and loving lady. She fosters bunnies that people discard after the novelty of having a Easter Rabbit wears off. She fosters those that are dumped in the forest to fend for themselves, left at the Humane Society or rescued from horrific incidents. After speaking with her on several occasions, it was decided we would bring Coconut to her after having her spayed to find a bunmate for her. Upon arrival to Linda's home, both Lucca and Matilda were out playing in their run area. Coconut payed no mind to either of them and was more concerned with checking out all the new smells. SO, it was decided that the bond of THREE may be a great idea! They bonded wonderfully, or so we thought! Isn't that how it always works?

Upon coming home, little Mattie showed us a nice runny nose and had some scabs on her back. We immediately took her to Dr. Atlas and she had the Snuffles and an infection at the bite wound site on her back. Soon afterwards, Ms. Coconut showed signs of the Snuffles, too. Mattie's wound has become a thorn in our side at the moment and is being quite resistant in healing. We are working at it everyday though and slowly it is getting smaller. For now, both bunshines are on antibiotics for the Snuffles and responding well. Needless to say, Matilda is currently in her own little area until her wound heals completely. We will have to rebond all three together in due time, but for now, health is more important!

SOO, back to the rabbits and their personalities...

Lucca is the biggest bun of the bunch but the most laid back. He loves to sit back and watch everything going on around him. He follows Coconut's lead in most everything and enjoys sunning on top of their habitat during all hours of the day. He loves to cuddle and sits nicely for bathing and grooming and loves pets from his Mommy and Daddy!

Ms. Matilda is sweet as can be but don't be fooled. She likes to own the room, err, space she is occupying. Mattie likes to lounge around the living room, run on the carpet and check out things higher up than she. She loves loves loves her cilantro and hopping in and out of her litter box at fast speeds. Her and Coconut are currently in the midst of a battle of Alpha needless to say they are kept separate for now.
