The fuzzy mohawk

Today Kiwi is wearing the stylish Mohawk....... She's so adorable so could have no fur and still be cute.  Boy is her fur flying.... she's blowing her baby coat and has lost a lot of her longer fur! 

 She had a bunch of free roam time in the room. I love to watch her hopping around. She now knows exactly where her cage is, and goes right in when she wants too.  She's still a little figidity, but I'm sure that it will take weeks for her to get use to her new surroundings, and us, not days.

  The cats are getting along fine with her and she doesn't seem to mind them sniffing around her.  Yoda is the only cat that really doesn't care for her, but Pebbles and Neko are especially interested in her.

She got her nails clipped for the first time today and it went fine.  It's hard to find her nails with those furry feet.  Holding her like a baby to get her in the trance is extremely helpful for nail clipping.

Outdoor wear

Kiwi was modeling her new outdoor wear today.  She a sweet little beauty with her pink and green harness vest with matching leash.  It was a bit of a struggle to get it on her and should actually be a 2 person job with her being so small.  I had to lay her on her back and put her in the trance and then buckle and velcro it.  The velcro is also a pain with her fuzzy hair, but she's very fast and I won't take her outside without it.

She was on a binkie freenzy today, jumping all over.  I find it so amusing.

I caught her laying down in the sun today.... but eyes were open.

She has just started to eat hay from my hand too!

Learned something new

Never knew this until today but bunnies usually sleep with their eyes open.  I was wondering why I never see Kiwi sleeping!

Also saw and learned the difference between Cecal and Fecal bunny poo.  Cecal Poo is the softer pellets that they eat!  YUCK!

One other interesting fact is that is you turn a bunny on it's back it goes in a trance-like state.  Although they say bunnies dont like being pet on their tummy.

Kiwi munching on Hay

Well today we made a little bit of progress.  Kiwi is just starting to approach me on her own when shes out of the cage.  Putting her paws up on me and bumping my hand with her nose.  She's just the cutest thing.  I got a bit of video of her muching down on some Timothy Hay.  One of the first times I've seen her eat.  I still haven't seen her eating any pellets or drinking, but with all the bunny trails she's leaving on the floor, she must be eating something!  She did another cute thing today too.  She was playing in and out of the cage.  She figured out she can hop in and out and she did it four times in a row, like she was practicing.  She also went through the tunnel toy I got her yesterday, although Kyler and Alex seen her do that.  I haven't been so luck as of yet!

Hop Hop Hop

Do the bunny HOP HOP HOP!  Yesterday was the first day that we got Kiwi out for any amount of time.  She had so much fun running around and exploring the room. We gave her a few cat toys which she checked out but didn't really do anything with yet.  Also got out her tunnel, but no interest in that yet either.  Bought a  few bows for her fur and boy is she extra adorable with the bow!  Picked up a bunny harness/leash for her too.... so I'll eventually start getting her use to that.  She also went on a little field trip to Granny's house for a visit.

Sunday, August 21,2011:  Third day with Kiwi....... As soon as I got up this morning I went and got Kiwi out for some bunny running fun!  I got really lucky because I got to see her do a running bunny hop a few times.  Next task is getting it on video.   Still haven't seen her eating pellets or drinking.... only nibbling on some timothy hay.... but I'm assuming she is when I'm not looking!

Kiwi Comes Home

 August 19, 2011 :  Kiwi came home today.  YEAH!  This is her cage that was set up and waiting on her.  Only difference is that we have a few other toys and chews in there now too.  The breeder gave us an information sheet with bunny information on. Only pellets, Timothy Hay, and Oats until she's 6 months old.  She was a little skittish tonight and we tried our hardest to NOT handle her much.  We didn't want to stress her out so we left her to explore her cage.
