This chair is MINE!

Opening my present

Today I got a Christmas present! I don't know what this Christmas thing means jet but I think it involves loots of treats since I got a loot of them in my present without even doing a trick to earn them! I got Clementine, ten sunflower seeds, my daily Papaya Tablets (Oxbow) medicine (which tastes great ^^) and three Critter Berries (Oxbow)!

By the way look at my cool black ribbon! I really like it and have been showing it to all the people that have seen me today by raising my neck up and towards them. Mum is really surprised because she thought that I would hate to hate it and chew it apart. But you have to understand mum; I'm named after a great philosopher so I like to look pretty!

Balto is opening his Christmas present (sunflower seeds)

Who are you?!

Ticket to ride

Today me and mum tok the the train to Drammen. It was pretty scary so I sat a lot on mums lap (4 hours in all mum says, and the whole trip takes 6 hours). Here are some pictures of our trip.

Me waiting for the train to arrive at the station:

Our train:

As I said to take the train is really scary:

Me on mums lap:
Me under mums jacket since it was so cold on the train that I began to freeze. The train was brand new and the people on the train didn't know how to get it warm so it was really cold when the train went over the mountain with all the snow:

Me sleeping under mums jacket. I felt so safe that I slept with my eyes closed (and that's the first time that I have done that as mum have seen that):

Me in grandpa and my aunties basement were I shall live now for 3 weeks:

Christmas and sleeping

Tomorrow me and mummy are going to granddad, grandmummy and aunty (and my uncle HamsterGuardian). We're going to go there by train or something, mummy says that it's a big thingy that moves on wheels and electricity (or something). I'm looking forward to meet the granddad again since he always gives me sticks that I can chew on ^^ And aunty is really good at cuddling.

But why are we going you might ask. We are going to celebrate something that are called Christmas were you are allowed to eat as much food as you want (but I'm eating as mutch hay as I want everyday so I don't understand why this day is so important) and you are also allowed to rip paper apart (and that is what I'm really looking forward to ^^).

And here is a picture of me sleeping some minutes ago, mum waked me up as you can see (but I actually sleep with my eyes open, that way you can avoid scary things).

New home

Sorry, for not updating my blog lately but lots of things have happened in the last weeks. You see mummy and I have moved to a new apartment. I really like it here, because now I am allowed to roam free in the apartment even when I'm home at my own :) I'm not allowed to be out at night, thought... Stupid mummy, it's not my fault that she sleeps the WHOLE night and dosen't want to be waked up for cuddling sessions... It's a bit fun actually at first I lick her in the face and if she dosen't wake up I bite her lightly, and if that dosen't work either I beat her in the face with my front paws...

Anyway: Here is a video of me checking out our new apartment the day we moved in:


And this is me exploring our new garden:

I'm on Bunspace ^^

My new box!

Today mum bought me a new box form the store! And it's really funny to jump in and out from. And mum have even put some of my toys and a blanket in it (I tossed out the blanket because I like to lie down on hard surfaces).

Me in my new box:

Me and my pet armadillo lying together on the floor:

Tomatoes rock!

Mum were eating tomatoes today when she was sad, and as usual when we have jummy things that I also can eat I'm allowed to eat as much as I want to ^^

Because of a long term sickness I had to give away some of my animals today, and it's terrible, I'm sitting and crying today...

0.0.1 Brachypelma schroederi
0.0.1 Cyriocosmus elegans
0.1.0 Grammostola pulchra

Balto is now owned together with Hamsterguardian which will update this blogg with Norwegian posts about Balto. I miss him soo mutch.

HugeSpider is watching after all my other animals now, exept from Aristoteles and my C. elegans, Chisaii, and of couse Balto. Bacause he has watched after my animals for a while now, we (and my family) have disided that I'm not capable of taking care of all my animals anylonger.

I feel teared apart and is crying a lot these days... All my animals is like children to me...

Helping mum to study philosophy

Since I'm named after a great philosopher, I see it as my duty to help mum when she studies philosophy

I love to play your closet mum!

Watching after my sick mummy

Look what I've got!

Grandpa is visiting today, and he got me a jummy and funny stick!

The Bunny wall

From the top:

• Luve-leg (pronounced Lurvelegg in Norwegian) : My sisters first bunny. She died in 2006 when she was 6 and a half years old.
  
• Lurven: Daughter of Lurifacks and Luve-leg. She were also my sisters bunny. She also died in 2006, but before her mother by and unknown cause, and reached an age of 4 and a half years.
  
• Lurifacks: My little sunshine who died from me this spring (2008), he became almost 8 years old.
• Aristotels II: Which you all know ;)
• Buster: My sisters and mine first bunny whitch we got when we were 5 and 3 years old, but when my sister got Luve-leg he bacame my bunny. He became 6 years oldand died in 2000.

The only bunny that misses on the wall is Duti which died in an age of 6 weeks as he broke his rear leg and had to be put to sleep. He was my bunny and son of Luve-leg and a unknown male bunny.

Duti also had two siblings but these was given away.

Supid mum!

When mum come into the room after showering she said to me:

Aristotels, what are you doing?!

And as an answer I greeted her:

Hi mum!
I see that your done showering!
Se what I have done!
I have marked my lead, my hay sack, your pc cables and the floor, and now I'm looking for food in the trash which I also marked by the way!

I can't understand why she got irritated and said... I just marked all my stuff so that none else would take it, like those scary people living outside our room!

Stupid stupid mum...

She also says that it's about time I got spayed... And I'm going to the vet to be that tomorrow, I'm also going to get a mircochip there! I don't know what all that is but whit names like that it has to be some great tasting food!

Mums bed!

Yesterday I was allowed to play in mums bed! Even after the light was turned off in our room! I played a lot and made lots of happy bounces!

Naughty bun!

Mum caught me stealing oats some days ago.

She said "Hva er det du driver med!? Får du lov til det her?" (which means "What are you doing now!? Are you allowed to do this!?"). I youst looked at her with my big innisent eyes and told here that I did nothing wrong, but she saw throuh my wet and supercute look and took the oats bag away...

It's so unfair! Why do the mealworms get to eat as mutch oats thay want when I cant get anything? And the worst thing is that the mealworms are food for Chiisai (Cyriocosmus elegans) my big sister (which is really little by the way) .

Stupid, stupid mum....



Comment from mum: To all of you other bunny parents out there: Bunnies should not be allowed to eat oats since it's not good for them. Read more here: Kanin.org: Safe food

Tingeling

Today my little sisters Syrian Hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) Tingeling died...

Rest in peace little girl, and have fun in the Sunflower garden of Heaven

We will never forget you!

My Snackball is the coolest!

A walk to the park

Today mum and I was on another trip to the park ^^

Mum and me cuddling:

It was so lovely that I fall asleep beside mum (like the good bunny I am I always sleep with one eye open):

Why did you have to wake me up with that strong light?

Me washing myself:
Hi!
Hiding under mum befause of a very scary bird sound!

Video of me jumping around in the the park:

Happy!

I'm so happy today!
My mum laid a towel on the floor today so it was easier for me to walk on, and I was so happy that I had to do loots of happy jumps ^^

Video will come here in the blog but mum have some problems to upload them, so until she manages it the video can be seen here: This is what a happy bunny looks like

Now I'm resting in my cage after all the playing I have done today ^^

My new cage!

Today mum and a friend of hers was out and bought a new home for me ^^
And I love it!

I have made a few happy-jumps in my new cage and have played in it for the whole day. Who needs to be a indoorrabbit who can run outside he's cage when he wants, when you have a cool cage as mine ^^ (don't misunderstand I love to have the freedom to deicide when I want to be outside my own cage)

Mum has also clipped my nails today so now I can walk on the floor easily ^^ It was a little scary at first but then I realaxed and everything went fine ^^

I have also got a toy today, that are really spessial: When I push it arrownd it sometimes fall yummy pellets out of it (mum calls it a snackball or something) <3 Lurifacks, my mums little boy who died before I was born. I'm not allowed to play with his other toys who stands in the bookshelf, but I got this little toy from him and I really love it!

A video of me when I just got inside my new cage (I'm playing the intromusic on my new drinkingbotle :) The one I mum bought in the petstore was way to difficult to drink from, and mum have now trown it away).

Me in my cool new cage:

Evil Eyes :P

Pellets! Yummy!!!
Relaxing after exploring my new home ^^ Look at my ball and the carrot chewing toy (which also is new by the way) .

A day in the park

Today were mum and I in the park near our apartment!

It was really cool!
I had a really good time and made some small happy-jumps so I could show mum that I thought it was fun to be outside and in the park.

We were in the park for some hours and if it haven't been for that scary seagull (I had to hide into mum, but if it hadn't surprised me that much I would probably be brave enough to tell it not to scream that loud).

We also had a little cuddling time, and I didn't want mum to stop cuddling me so I pushed her hand with my cut little grey nose and got her to cuddle me all the time while she read in her book. Of course I didn't have time to cuddle all the time and I jumped around and played. For example have I found out that it's really fun to jump in and out of mums backpack and hide under it.

Here am I reading about Aristotle (which I'm named after) in mums philosophy book (the little park trip was actually for mum to read before the philosophy lecture tomorrow) :

I found out that the grass in the park was rather tasty:

Yummy ^^

OUTSIDE!!!

Yesterday I was outside for the first time in my life.
It was right after my new mum picket me up.

It was a little scary but as the brave bunny I am I conquered my fear and explored the world who was laid near my travelling cage.

A new member of the family: Aristoteles II

Aristoteles (Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης, Aristotélēs) is 10weeks today, and is named after our old dog Ari (which was a short form for Aristoteles) as well as the philosopher Aristoteles (in English known as Aristotle) who is known to be the funder of the science biology.

Aristotle's classification of living things contains some elements which still existed in the nineteenth century. What the modern zoologist would call vertebrates and invertebrates, Aristotle called 'animals with blood' and 'animals without blood' (he was not to know that complex invertebrates do make use of haemoglobin, but of a different kind from vertebrates). Animals with blood were divided into live-bearing (humans and mammals), and egg-bearing (birds and fish). Invertebrates ('animals without blood') are insects, crustacea (divided into non-shelled – cephalopods – and shelled) and testacea (molluscs). In some respects, this incomplete classification is better than that of Linnaeus, who crowded the invertebrata together into two groups, Insecta and Vermes (worms).

From Wikipedia

Aristoteles will write his own entries from now on :)

"I’m not adicted to my wheel!"

Little Balto is very found of his wheel. His own meaning is that this is the coolest toy he has.

And because of the fact that I always takes out the wheel at night, he runs in it all morning for the time I set it up again. This also result in weird circadian rhythm for him: He wakes up at 22:00 to 23:00 (sometimes even as late as 00:00), and he goes to bed around 13:00-15:00. This means that we only spend time together, when I'm home in the weekends or when I'm going late to bed.

I wonder when he will realise that the wheel also is available in the evening...

Who said that Balto was afraid of humans?

And in the end; a picture of a little, fluffy and white thing :P

Trying to train Balto

A couple of days now I have tried to train Balto to be handled.

He is a little brave little guy and has no problems with being hand feed nor being close to a human.
But the problem is that when somebody touches him he starts to scream and turns over on his back.

I have bought a training ball for him, so I hope that running on the floor will get him to relax more when he's touched.
