Hello + Two new George videos!
It's been way too long since I've posted here! I'll catch you all up soon on what George has been up to, but in the meantime, here is a video of George from today! Washing his face and ears :) I took it with my phone, which is why it's skinny, but still cute!
And while we're at it, here is another video of George from a few months ago, working very hard on his box! It kills me when he tries to pull a piece of cardboard off, shakes his whole body! :)

Oh my!
I have been a bad bunny blogger! Starting a second blog the month we made the big move from Ohio to Wisconsin probably wasn't my best idea! I'm going to try to get back to blogging here though, because George has been busy these past few months and has a lot to share! I'll leave you for now with a few of my favorite photos since we've been here in Wisconsin! :)

George Videos
I have two new George videos for you!
George Binky in his play area! a video by jenib320 on Flickr.This first one is of George playing and binky-ing in his play area! He has been doing this for a while but it is really hard to catch him at it on video! This is the best I've been able to get so far! :)
George Being Petted a video by jenib320 on Flickr.This video is of George being petted! When he wants to be petted he sticks his face in between the bars of his play area :)
Enjoy! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Where George Lives!
Over the past year or so, I have gotten a lot of questions about how I take care of George! It seems to be much more common to have outdoor rabbits, and so there isn't a ton of information out there about having a house rabbit! So, here we go! :)
George's cage is 24" wide, 25.5" deep and 15.5" tall. This is where George sleeps at night and where he lives when I'm not at home for long periods of time. It doesn't look very big in this photo, but it's plenty big for little George as he only weighs 1.75 lbs! The plastic bottom is really helpful because it can be easily washed and it's tall enough that George doesn't get his bedding everywhere. On the left is his litter box, I use cat little and pine chips in it! Just make sure your bunny doesn't eat the kitty litter! I keep the yellow overturned dish in the corner to remind him to use his litter box. Finally, the blue plastic bit is a dorm shelf! George sleeps on top of it almost every night!
When I move George to the play area I move his litter box and food dish from his cage to his play area.
This is George's play area. He is in here whenever I am home or if I'm only going to be gone for an hour or so. I had a piece of clear plastic cut at JoAnns for the bottom. This way if he has an accident or spills his water it's super easy to clean up! The fence is actually a playpen meant for small dogs, but it works great for George.
He loves to be in his play area! His personality is totally different compared to how he is in his cage. When in his cage he feels cornered and is less social and sometimes aggressive (if you move his stuff!). He is a sweet loving rabbit in his play area though. On top of that it just gives him a lot more room to play and relax. He loves playing in cardboard boxes and his baskets and just running around too. In order to encourage litter training it is important to keep things in all the corners in the beginning. Rabbits are really pretty clean animals and they like to go to the bathroom in corners. By blocking off all the corners and using a corner litter box, it will help them learn to use it! :)
Bunnies are really pretty easy animals the take care of! They do require more care than other caged animals though. It is important to make sure that there are things for them to play with and that you can give them proper attention. It plays a lot into their happiness!
I do let George run around on the futon and on the floor sometimes, but only while closely supervised. Bunnies like to get into everything, especially electrical cords! Gotta keep a close eye on them! He LOVES to be let out, he runs around and does lots of binkying! I'll share some of my favorite binky videos this week! :)
I hope that helps any future bunny owners out there! My favorite resource when I was preparing for George was the House Rabbit Society website!
