Backyard Adventure

Today I was out in my cage and found a way to escape. I found the joy of hopping through the grass, stopping and tasting the sweet grass, and then I went freely back by my cage waiting to be picked up and loved on.
I hopped around inside the house a little bit too. I got to go in the girl's bedroom and hangout on a blanket. I got to have the top off of my pet carrier and hop out and hide under the top of it that was on the floor next to it. I got to do a few TikTok videos too. Maybe someday I will be the famous Snowball!

The Snowball Chronicles: getting used to my people

It's my turn to tell my tale. Being a bunny in this house is full of a lot of the girl wanting to hold me, pet me, and feed me. She's five, so I guess that is a thing for humans that are five. The girl does okay most of the time. I really like the long grass shoots she feeds me. I don't like the waving of the grass stock in my face, but she will learn. 
The mom is always watching out for me. She tells the girl, "be calm" and "give the bunny a break". I hangout in the girl's lap on a towel or blanket. I explore the small space I have to roam around. The girl let's me sneak off the towel and onto the couch. I love exploring. The mom says someday I will be allowed to explore more, just not yet. I wonder when "yet" will be.
Today I woke up in my pet carrier in the girl's bedroom. I got moved out to the living room and had my carrier opened and fresh water and fresh food given to me. I get my fill of carrots and lettuce and grass. 
I spent part of my day outside in my bunny kennel enjoying some time away from being handled. It was relaxing. 
In the evening I got brought back into the house and got to spend some time hangout with the mom, snuggling in her robe, and warming up. Once I warmed up and started coming out to explore the girl took me and I got carried around the house and got to see different room. When we went into the kitchen I was given delicious veggies! 
I think I am going to like my new home. I feel so much love.

Snowball Goes Home

Snowball was born shortly before Easter in the year 2021 and spent the first month of life living in a rabbit hutch surrounded by many other bunnies while awaiting the day it would be time to meet a little girl and go home with her. "Oh, she's so adorbs!" exclaimed the girl. Out of all the bunnies available a little white angora with blue eyes caught her eye and was instantly named Snowball.

A cardboard box has become Snowball's temporary housing. A plastic french onion dip container is the watering dish. Carrots and broccoli are set in a corner of the box for snacking on. Snowball settles in for the first night.

The mom gets home later that evening and is introduced to the oh so soft angora. Snowball snuggles into the mom's shoulder as she pets. The mom walks into the girl's bedroom with Snowball to say good night. Snowball starts to try and scurry up the mom and suddenly nature calls and Snowball pees on the mom's hand and the girl's hand gets pee on it too. Things move quickly as Snowball is set back down in the box and everyone is washing their hands. 

Early the next morning the girl, excitedly asks to hold Snowball. Over the next four hours Snowball is gets lots and lots of snuggles and hugs and petting. The mom keeps telling the girl to let Snowball hangout in the box. Snowball wants to explore and the girl wants Snowball to explore. Until the mom is more comfortable with the girl and Snowball exploring, explorations are limited.
