Bunstruction: Jelly thinks she's a puppy

Previously, I've blogged about Molly's bunstruction to her litterbox and some slight gnawing of my fan's wire. Now I got to say, Molly's was nothing compared to Jelly's bunstruction. Just a couple weeks ago, Jelly chewed through my phone's wire. My LANDLINE phone wires. The thing is we've already bunny-proofed it by covering it in plastic casing, but due to the connection to the plug, about 3cm of the wire gotta be left bare. And that's where Jelly gnawed it through. My dad and mum spent almost half a day getting the new wires, removing the casing, replacing the wires, installing back the casing, and protecting the bare wires by wrapping it in duct tape. The next day, we found Jelly gnawing at it again. So we double, and tripled protect it with MORE duct tape. Now, the phone cable wire (the usual thickness, you should know it) is 1 cm in radius. =.="

And now, I faced this.

 Jelly found my 2 months old rubber wedges and ate it! Like, WHATTTT? I thought only dogs like to chew shoes? Why bunnies do that too? Initially, I thought Jelly was only being her usual curious self and doing random sniffing around my shoes, so I left her alone. But half an hour later, my mum started screeching like a banshee, "Look what Jelly has done!"
I went out of the room and found Jelly already hiding behind the sofa and my mum holding on to my poor shoes. My 2 months old, relatively new jelly wedges.
Jelly ate my jelly wedges, no puns intended.
So a word of advice to fellow bunnymamas & bunnypapas who thinks bunny-proofing is all about wires (like me), start keeping your shoes in covered cabinets now! Keep your shoes safe from your (possible) pup-bunnies!

And there's Jelly hiding behind the sofa in chillax mode, obviously not guilt-stricken.

And for another cute pic of Jelly.....

Totally tranced for grooming. Ahahahaha! Pardon my fat legs, please!

And more Jelly pics for those without IG.

 Staring straight at the camera while I snapped a shot.

She purposely flipped her pellets bowl over and because I refused to pick the pellets back into the bowl (she kept nudging it for fun) she started eating them off the floor.

Mia's Update: Molly and Jelly

If you're only following this blog, and not Molly's Instagram or Mia's Twitter, you probably didn't know that Molly is leaving. Or rather, she has already left by the time I'm writing this blog entry. It's been slightly more than 3 months since Molly came, but we're unable to bond well. She has been living this forever-alone lifestyle, always hiding behind my sofas to escape from my reach. The only time I can lure her near me was when I have food, and even so she rejects my touch. She will either forcefully pull the food out of my hand and retreating into the back of the sofa to eat, or simply abandoning the food to hide. 

After talking to HRSS, we've come to the decision to have Molly returning to them. Because being unable to groom her aside (Molly returned to HRSS today with dracula nails & matted fur on her butt), how am I supposed to bring her to the veterinarian when she falls sick?

And so, I told Molly she'll be going back and arrangements were made for me to visit other human-friendly bunnies housed at HRSS shelter at Mutts & Mittens (11 Pasir Ris Farmway 2). During my time there, I met two human-friendly bunnies. 

There's Odeon the Lionhead Mix. She has really pretty sapphire blue eyes with red pupils. And the more laid back and tamed of the two.

And there's the 6 months old bunny called Jelly. The smaller, more active and more curious of the two.

Both bunnies were more friendly to human touch, allowing to be carried (even though they don't like it) and flipped onto their backs for a grooming session. Even though Odeon is the prettier one, I decided to get Jelly instead, for her constant mischief and curiosity towards her environment attracted me. 

And one week later, the decision was made and new arrangements were made to do an 'exchange' between Molly and Jelly.

 

And here's Molly, still chilling behind the sofa with only her head outside (for security). This photo was taken earlier this afternoon before HRSS came to pick her up at 2:30pm. Farewell, Molly. I hope you'll find a new adopter parents who can handle you well and gives you daily apple treats too! 

 And so, one hour plus after Jacelyn left with Molly, she returned with Jelly! That's the new bunny girl on the new pink litterbox. It's made smaller and lower due to her size and condition, but shortly after we switched back to the old one Molly has been using because my dad keep insisting the pink one is too small. =.="

 And from the time she arrived at 4 plus till just minutes ago, Jelly was on a rampage! She didn't stop running and hopping around, exploring every corner of the house. She even hopped into the kitchen to play with the stack of newspaper, and into my parents' bedroom to chill beneath the bed, and also into my brother's bedroom for a mini tour, all without a care in the world! Places where Molly has never tried to venture into. And when dinner was served, Jelly also did the one-bite-one-run trick, eating one piece of veggie and going for a run around the place before returning to the veggie bowl for a second piece. 

Jelly is really a curious adventurer. 

And I have no idea why, but both bunnies love that particular spot beneath my bed. I had a hard time coaxing Jelly out from underneath my bed when she ran into my room, and failed. In the end I was left with no choice but to carry-drag her out and herd her out of my bedroom. Needless to say, my bedroom will forever be out-of-bounds to her. 

After a while I noticed the 'flying' ball of white fluff was missing and found this amusing sight behind the other bigger sofa. Jelly also found one of her chillax hideout, but she isn't as good as Molly at hiding. 

And just minutes ago, I found her half concussed right here, still washing her face quite diligently. 

How adorable! *rofl*

Adopt, don't buy.

Molly Loves Washing Face

 Hello, I'm Molly! And these are the multi-shots Mia has taken while I was washing my face.

I have the good habit of grooming my face and ears after my dinner (veggie meals at night), and Mia likes it a lot when I'm grooming my ears. She likes how one of my ear will flip up when I tilt my head over to reach my other ear. But of course, because I'm very camera-wary, I managed to escape from the clutches of her camera so she couldn't snap any of my pictures while I'm ear-grooming.

 

Just earlier, Mia got angry at me for trying to dig in the rubbish bin. Well, I didn't mean to be dirty or playful, really. But I just couldn't get enough of the small slice of apple that Mia's mama has given me as a treat. It was so sweet and crunchy, simply yummy! So when I saw Mia's mama throwing the small bit of apple skin into the bin, I tried to dig for it. And when Mia saw me reaching my paw into the bin, she got angry and scolded me.

All I wanted was to just have another bite of the yummy apple treat. T.T

Bunny Problems

Previously I always thought Molly doesn't chew on wires. I was wrong! I didn't bother to check until today, because I never seen her really chewing on the wires. 

And here, one of the biggest hole she has made in the wire to my fan. Because of the location I'm unable to fence it and keep it out of her reach. About 4 holes has been chewed out on the single piece of wire. Thank goodness I've fenced out the wire heaven under my desk since day 1. Now, after covering the holes with yellow duct tape, I've gotten myself a bumblebee wire. ROFL. 

Gotta go search for some wire protectors that can prevent bunnies from chewing through. Any ideas or recommendations please drop me a comment! 

Over the few days I've been seeing furballs rolling about on the ground, or stray pieces of fur flying across the air. So I reckon it's time to catch Molly for another grooming session. But as I'm still unable to carry her (she doesn't allow me and will kick and struggle), HRSS's Jacelyn is really nice to drop by my house to groom Molly. I bet you can hardly spot her fur because it blends into my floor. 

And now there's Molly sulking under my desk after her grooming session. She really hates being carried. T.T

And she doesn't even care that her ear is stuck. Ahahahaha! 

And just a small announcement, Molly has finally set up her own instagram account! Do follow Molly @bunnymolly for new photos everyday!

MollyMia's New Corner

 

Hello World, I'm Molly the Lop, and Mia is my Person. I was found roaming the central area by HRSS, and they brought me back to my fosterer's home and got me spayed and potty trained. The veterinarian thinks I'm about 2 to 3 years old.

I've found my new owner, who has given me a cage-free living condition and allows me to roam her pretty bedroom 24/7. She feeds one bowl of fresh vegetables and 2 spoons of my favourite pellets twice daily, and gives me an unlimited amount of hay and fresh water. She also changes my soiled litter box daily and washes them clean every night she returns home from work. She thinks it's very cute that my coat blends right in with her marble tile floors.

Today marks my 3rd day with my new Person and I'm still wary of my new environment. I'm glad Mia has a spacious area right underneath her bed for me to chill out.

 

Words from Mia: See Molly camouflaging while staring at her pellets and veggies. <3

 

Till then,

MollyMia
