In the weekends mum and dad often forget that we are supposed to get our breakfast everyday at 06:30.
When Runa was still here she jumped up in the bed and woke both mum and dad at 06:00 to get them to get them up and give us our morning ration of pellets. Sometimes she was lifted out of the bed again, but she never gave up until dad was awake and gave us pellets. And then she woke them at again at 09:00, to make sure that they didn't loose the whole day (and sometimes to play in the bed afterwards).
I don't like to jump up in the bed as it's a bit to tall for me (but I did jump up and wake mum everyday when we lived alone, to get her to feed me and for our daily morning cuddelig sessions), and since Frigg has problems with her eyesight she prefers to have her feet on the ground. So now Frigg and me have to use other methods to wake them up: I'm staring and asking them for food until they wake up, while Frigg starts digging and chewing on the blanket. But she usually does that after they have turned on the light anyway, while I sit staring at them even when the light is turned of. It takes a while, but we get our food in the end.

Feed us!

Our new hay station
The blog is not dead, we're just been really busy bunnies lately.
But now we have smartphones and will try to blog now and then.
And now some pictures of us eating hay :)

Hay there!

We picked Runa up from the breeder (
Myosotis) today, and tried to bond her with Aristoteles, and as you can see it was a success.
Aristoteles still thinks Runa is a little bit scary though, while Runa just wants Aristoteles' attention.
They are so cute together ^_^
PS! I will update the blog with more pictures and a little log from the bonding session tomorrow (or in a couple of days) :)
NOTE! Do not attempt to bond two rabbits without reading about it first!
Bonding: Aristoteles and Runa :3

I really tiny part of my
Blaptica dubia colony eating baby food (mashed fruit without any food additives):
Actually the colony has gotten so big that I have to reduce some of the individuals by giving about half of my culture away. Right now all my tarantulas except from Lumina (
Brachypelma schroederi, juvenile) and Chiisai (
Cyriocosmus elegans) are fasting; so the main roach-eater here right not is the emperor Swoon (
Pandinus imperator). But when the culture is as big as it is, it doesn’t make any difference when your feeding with 4 nymphs and 6 adults every week, it just grows anyway...
Nom Nom nom Nom nom nom...

I'm having problems with my tummy again, but this time I'm perfectly capable of eating myself.
When mum first made Critical Care mix for me some days ago I ran and hid under the bed as usual and kept a long distance to my dish. But now some days later I've found out that it actually tastes really nice when you can eat it out of a dish and not have it forced down your throat with a syringe.
Trying to get mum to give me pellets again though; she's just giving me hay, water and critical care + my daily papayatablet right now... I want my daily ration of pellets back!
Yum yum Critical Care

Right now we're visiting granddad and my aunts. Some days ago my it started to hurt inside my mouth so I kind of lost my apetite yesterday. It hurts so much when I chew, but it hav ehurted a little. So I have just eaten soft things, like leaves and dandilions or tasty things like my papaya tablets. And even thought I tried to trick mum into believing that I was fine by running a lot and pretending to eat she understood and today she and granddad took me to the vet after I had "played" a while in the garden...
And after the terrible new vet looked at my teeth mum LEFT me! And then they gave me something and I felt asleep. When I woke up I feelt really bad and my mouth hurt. A vet came and gave me Critical Care and then my old vet(!!!) came even though we are about 450 km away from home!
[mums comment: His old vet had moved to work on this veterinary office, I was really surprised to find out].After a looooooong time mum came and picked me up and granddad drove us home. Right now I'm sitting in the cage inside my enclosure here, with a blanket over me and is feeling kind of betrayed. Stupid mum... We're on a vacation and she left me with the vet :(
Think I'm going to try to relax a little, before mum starts to give me Critical Care.
[mums comment: His medication after fixing he's teeth this time is painkillers for three days (starting tomorrow), FibrePlex and Critical Care.]

Balto is eating food in his cage new cage that he got from his youngest aunt (Tusen takk!). The picture was taken right after he moved to Bergen after living with Hamsterguardian for a while. I thank you a lot for watching after him for all this time!
Cutey

I haven't felt so well the last couple of days. Two nights ago I woke up and my tummy hurted so much that I had to thump with my hid leg lots of times. Mum lifted me up in the bed and tried to calm me down, but it didn't help.
Since my tummy have pained me so much I haven't been so enthusiastic when it was feeding time these two days. For short I have hidden myself under the bed most of the time.
So today mum placed me in my transporter cage and then we took the bus to the vet and they found out that I had air in my digestive system. The vet gave me some medicine and then we could go home.
I didn't like the vet at all and so did mum: Se lifted me after my fur in my neck and mum said that she wasn't allowed to do that with me, she tried to say that it didn't hurt me but mum said that she weren't allowed to do that with me under any circumstances. So mum held me instead while the vet were checking my tummy. She also came with some tips that were stupid since they were not god for bad bunny tummies.
Mum have said that that is the last time I'm going to that vet and from now on we're going to another vet that is called PetVet Bergen that have more knowledge when it comes to us bunnies (and there is also possible to buy Oxbow products there), even if they are a little far away from where we live.
Anyway I'm feeling better now, and have cuddled lots with mum, but mum still says that I just will have hay to eat for some days to be sure that I will be completely well before I will get pellets again... I will still get my two daily papaya tablets though (and maybe I will get some few pellets for snack when we clicker train) :)

I have now dug up Chiisai (
Cyriocosmus elegans) from it's terrarium for the second time in a about half a year. Since I have not seen it in a long time, and since I was afraid that it maybe had got it's borrow in the head like last time when I dug it up. And like last time that was the case. I dug it up, and thought it was dead, and then it started to move so it's still alive.
It seemed very sluggish, but had a big abdomen (seems like it's going to molt soon ^^) so it seems like Chiisai is still fine even if it's haven't eaten in about two months or more. After placing it back in the terrarium it used it's time but dug a new burrow in about 5 minutes. I'm wondering how it's able to get it's borrow in it's head, since the substrate always is very moist.
Since I feel that I have stressed my little baby enough today I think I will feed it after a couple of days, and see if it's wants a little meal then.
Unfortunately I didn't have batteries in none of my cameras, so the only picture I got of Chiisai this time is a crappy mobile photo:
By the way I fed all the other tarantulas today. Rosa (
Grammostola rosea RCF) was the only one to throw itself over it's meal as usual. And it seems like little Strawberry (
Brachypelma sp.) is going to molt soon to ^^
