Bugz's first birthday!

Bugz has been a part of our lives for six months now and yesterday was his first birthday. According to some sources, he is ten years old in bunny world. It is amazing to see how he started off, he was so distant, would be so attentive, and would not eat around us. Now, he is very comfortable and starts jumping around when he sees us. Having a bunny as a pet is not like owning a cat and dog, it is quite different. They don't bark or meow, they do not nudge you when they need to pee or enjoy a litter box. We watched many videos on Youtube about how to pick him up, how we should care for him, how to make his perfect home because they're not your usual pet. Through these months, we got the experience to care for such an amazing animal, pet, and friend. 

                                    

                                   

... So for Bugz's first birthday, Stephen and I threw Bugz a little birthday party.

"What is going on???" - Bugz

• Three cupcakes
• Cupcake shaped mineral treat 
• Four candy shaped mineral treats
• Carrot shaped toy
•  Lava Block chew toy

Squad eating their cupcakes! 

We do not let Bugz eat the entire treat, we allow him to chew 

it a couple of times and take it away from him. He gets too crazy 

when treats are involved!

The Beauty after the Madness! 

How We House a Bunny!

We have picked and chosen different ways to accommodate him, 

but we finally have a plan that works in his and our favor. 

Bugz says, "Welcome to my Crib!"
We bought this cage at Pet Smart. It was quite pricey, but he loves it, so we do as well.
At first, we would leave the cage closed while we were at school or at work, but we made his home a little larger. Now the door is kept open and he just goes in there to pee/poop. (Makes it much easier to clean it up)
Water bottle: He used to drink out of this water once in a while, but now he does not drink out of it at all. Just a decoration now!
Chew Toy: He does not really play with it anymore, so just a decoration now!

Hay Manger: We used this hay manger for a couple of days and he was not really pleased by it. Just a decoration now!

(All three products are from Pet Smart) 

My Dad divided his room in half and made this fence.
This allows Bugz to be able to exercise and run around all day long. We do not allow him to run around the entire house because there are many cords around that Bugz can chew up and he can get himself into mischief. It is not bunny proofed!

This is the main place that Bugz loves hanging out in. He usually sleeps, cleans himself and eats here. He also loves to be under things so that's why he enjoys his little cave.

Bugz's toys include: 

Lava Block

Carrot-Shaped Chew Toy

Carrot-Shaped Hay Chew Toy

His food:

He is fed pellets and hay 75% of the time. He has a big bowl that has a smaller bowl of pellets in it and hay. 

He usually eats a bowl and a half of pellets a day.

The black bowl that looks like a witch pot: his water bowl

His pellets are stored in the recycled cookie container.

His hay is stored in an airtight Container Store container. 

(Very similar to this one)

He is inside the travel cage in the picture, but not very visible. 

We bought a dog travel crate for Bugz since they don't usually sell any for bunnies.

They had a variety at Pet Smart and this one was $25. 

It's pretty spacious for when we need to bring him around.
