TW: animal death
this is my current little girl tetra that came home with me a couple weeks later bc i couldnt bear to have an empty nest. first pic is from her first few days home (2mo) and the second pic is from today (5mo) [ - link 🐰🌸 ]
i need to update our carrd soon,,, found 2 fictives and a brain made alter recently. AUUUGH - 🐰🌻
i would've taken her with me to my mom's place but it's a tiny apartment with 2 screaming toddlers, as well as a mold infestation (which is particularly severe in the only room i could've kept her in), so it wasn't really an option lol
this was on christmas eve btw. so on halloween i was hospitalized with dehydration from covid, on thanksgiving i had to take zelda to the emergency vet for early GI stasis (she was fine with some water & greens, dw), and christmas eve i had to cancel plans with my family so i could stay home and make sure the silicone didn't cause a blockage. fuckinf wild
i used to not have my bed blocked off so she was allowed to come and go as she pleased, and i'd keep my cords and whatnot out of her reach. the only thing i kept down was my phone. for one, i always tucked it under my pillow so she wouldn't get to it. and for two, up until that point, i'd always woken up anytime she jumped on my bed. needless to say, i took her x-pen that hadn't been used since i moved her to my room and fenced off my bed that very same day.
in terms of space i think if i had my whole apartment bunny proofed maybe it'd be enough for 2 buns (bathroom would be off limits tho) but bunny proofing is expensive (the fencing used in my bedroom alone was around $70 and that's not even including things like tubing for protecting cords and zipties to make the fencing sturdier) so rn zelda and i share my bedroom. she's only allowed out when i need to sit on the recliner to trim her butt fur or nails
i'm a little too responsible to actually adopt a second bun but i'm itching to SO BAD. but i think unless i manage to get higher income & a bigger home, i'll have to stick to one at a time
don't want her to get sore hocks so i didn't attach the floor to the house. using it underneath the hay feeder instead to make cleanup slightly easier
