Lazy, lounging, and loveable.

Kesha's favorite thing to do is lie down. I read online that if a rabbit will lie out in front of you, she trusts you. If she lies out on her side, she really trusts you. Well, Kesha REALLY trusts me.


I used to worry about her -still kind of do- because she loves to eat, and loves treats, and hardly exercises. Because I got them when they were about 6 months old I am not sure of their exact birth date or which one is older. Based of what I read, I believe Kesha is the older one.

Have you ever seen a bunny binky?
This is NOT my bunny, but Lady does he same things.
Kesha used to spend time in her cage while we weren't home. We would let them out, Lady would go run her marathon around our house, binkying, while Kesha would just find somewhere to lie. Once, she literally got of her cage, hopped a foot away and lied down. Another time: she went BACK into her cage and lied down.

She is getting better, but still, most times we see her like this: loveable, lazy, and lounging in the floor!

 

The picture above is of my two bunnies: Lady (left) and Kesha (right). Here they look cute and cuddly, but if you only knew the things they were doing before they got so comfortable in my bedroom floor!


This is probably their favorite thing to do: chew on things! What I am holding in my hand once used to be my brother's phone charger. We do our best to keep things like that out of their reach, and also try to keep an eye on them. However, we have three people in our household with very different schedules and it's hard to keep up with who left what where and are the rabbits up.



Kesha is smart. If you get passed the fact she is trying to eat pretzels out of my bag, she is very smart. They both are potty trained, but because they are not fixed they poop everywhere, but pee in their litter boxes. Kesha is a rabbit genious. Not only do I think she knows her name based on ears perking up sometimes when I say it, or if I say, "Come on, Kesha" she sometimes comes, but she also knows when it's cage time. All I have to do is either get her treat bag and recognizes the sound or sit in front of her cage and she knows I'm about to get the treats or food. 

Lady
  
Lady is STUBBORN. She used to make us chase her around the house to go to her cage. Now, she, too hears the bag and knows what it means but she will hide, usually under the recliner. I then have to lift the recliner and she will run out, most of the time going to her cage. She knows what it means, but she is too stubborn to listen. It took us awhile to get Lady to warm up to us. Kesha was friendly from the get go. For some reason, though, Lady loved to be pet first. Only recently does Kesha stop to let us pet her.
