In our blog reading list we have a like you maybe have seen
Marit Emilie's blog it's in Norwegian but we had to share this entry with you anyway (hopefully you will survive terrible translated Norwegian from Google Translate).
So even though he doesn’t live here, this entry will be about a 10 year old rabbit called Erling. He was just rescued from a life in a small cage that he had been living in his whole life. He's human was originally the children that lived in the house when Erling was a small bunny baby. It was fun in a while cause they loved him as long as he was a baby, even though he had to live in a small cage. But then the humans stopped coming that much, and in the end they even gave him away to someone else because they though it was a hassle to go out and feed him.
To be given away was actually really fortunate for him, because now he has gotten himself a loving family with two other bunny friends and he finally gets to live like everybun should: As a free-roaming house bunny that lives together with her or his humans inside.
But 10 years in a cage is not god for anybun and Erling had problems to walk after being let out of his cage. And x-ray pictures from
Marit Emilie's blog shows what actually happens to you're muscles and your organs when living in a cage for so long: The pictures show (se link below) a comparison between Melis (Marit is Melis' human) and Erling, where you can see that Erling's muscles aren't able to hold his organs in place at all.

Here Erling is getting checked and treated by vet called Heidi Stenstad (picture used with permission from

The most terrible thing about this is that mummy and daddy have told us that this is the
usual way rabbits are living in Norway and the rest of the world. That's so terrible and sad! We only have to sit in a cage when we're going some were, and sometimes we have to be in a pen when someone is looking after us. And that's terrible enough even though our pen is bigger than the cage Erling lived in. Poor poor, Erling..
Why we rabbits are not supposed to live in cages

Mum is home again!
I had to make some happy nods with my head (I also did some happy runing) when I saw that it was her that come in the door this evening!
Mum smiled and said that I was really cute and then we cuddled for a little while.
Balto was also happy to see mum, he wanted to be picked up. And both me and him were given some sunflower seeds ^^
Yey!

Today it's Norway's national day! And as you all can see I have dressed up with this beautiful ribbon with the colours from Norway's flag.
Mum still doesn't get why I feel some pretty with ribbons, but as I have said before I'm named after a great philosopher so I like to look nice.
And since it's Norway's national day, here's a link to the national anthem:
Ja Vi Elsker
Hurra for 17. mai!

Before five this morning the fire alarm began to scream... I was really scary... But as mum said I behaved very well even if I was terrified... We are inside or apartment again (we were allowed to enter it again about 05:30). I'm a little more relaxed now and are lying on the floor beside the table in this very moment, looking at mum helping me write this entry.
The most scariest part was that the fire alarm screamed so loud. But when we stood outside it came two monsters that was blinking blue as well, and they were also really scary, but still not so scary as the fire alarm.
When we came inside again I was placed on the bed and was given lots of sunflower seeds because I was so well behaved and brave this morning.
I'm now going to quote the post mum wrote at
Kanin.org this morning. I know it is in Norwegian but it is mainly for those who are close to us and they speak Norwegian (mum has not decided yet if she is going to translate it to English):
I morgen før klokken frem gikk brannalarmen her i huset vi bor i. Jeg klekke på meg i en fart og fikk etter en stund frem en livredd Aristoteles med vidåpne øyne fra under sengen. Brannalarmen er ikke akkurat noe han liker nei... På vei ut utgangsdøren begynte vi å lukte røyk.
Vel utenfor bygget møtte vi mange andre som var skikkelig irriterte for å bli vekket så tidlig. Etter en stund kom to brannbilder med blålys og røykdykkere som kom seg inn i bygget. Etter en god stund ble bygget klarert og de som bodde i den delen av blokken hvor brannen hadde oppstått og fikk beskjed om å lufte ut. Etter en stund med en gigantisk vifte for å få ut røyk fikk vi som bor i motstående blokk gå inn.
Aristoteles oppførte seg helt eksemplarisk i morges enda han var livredd og hater og bli løftet. Han kom ut fra innerst under sengen (som han hadde søkt tilflukt under på grunn av brannalarmen) uten å bli dratt ut og til min store glede slapp jeg å måtte ta ham i nakkeskinnet, men tokk ganske enkelt og la begge armene rundt ham og fikk dyttet ham ut og løftet ham opp. På vei ut av bygget gjemte han hodet under armen min ettersom lyden fra brannalarmen var kjempe høy og fæl og skremmende. Når vi kom ut gikk vi ut til noen Aristoteles har møtt før for å slippe at han skulle bli enda reddere av de som sto rundt. Han satt stille på armen min, uten å prøve å hoppe ned, med hodet opp mot halsen min med vidåpne øyne. Etter en stund roet han seg ned igjen, og ble også trøstet av en som sto utenfor som han kjenner litt fra før. Så kom brannbilene og i stedet for å prøve å stikke av fra lysene gjemte han hodet under armen min igjen. Etter en stund turde han å ta frem hodet igjen og puttet hodet opp mot halsen min igjen og slikket meg noen ganger for å trøste en mor som også ble ganske stresset av at han var det. Når vi endelig kom inn i bygget igjen satt fortsatt Aristoteles helt stille til han ble plassert på hodeputen på sengen, uten å prøve å hoppe ned med en gang vi kom inn døra, noe han pleier å gjøre etter vi har vært på tur. Han satt helt fin i senga helt til jeg la meg ned sammen med ham og ga han solsikke frø og fortalte ham hvor flink han hadde vært. Nå noen timer etter derimot sitter han under sengen igjen fortsatt litt redd, men han kom frem for å få pelleten sin som vanlig.
Heldigvis gikk det bra og heldigvis var ikke brannen i vårt bygg og heldigvis spredde den seg ikke ut av leiligheten den var i. Men likevel sitter jeg igjen med et støkk i meg noe Aristoteles tydeligvis merket ettersom han som sagt prøvde å trøste meg når vi sto ute og så opp på vinduet til et rom fylt av røyk. Hva om Aristoteles er alene hjemme når det brenner? Hva om han brenner inne mens jeg er på en forelesning? osv. Om ikke så mange timene skal jeg på forelesning igjen og jeg kjenner at jeg egentlig har mest lyst til å ta ham med. Men han skal selvsagt får være hjemme ettersom en tur til universitetet ikke er noe han trenger nå etter å ha hatt en veldig stressende start på dagen. Har i alle fall planlagt å prate med noen som bor i gangen rundt meg om at hvis jeg ikke er hjemme under brann så har de lov til å bryte seg inn i leiligheten min for å redde ut Aristoteles.
Hehe, nå kom Aristoteles ut fra under sengen og lurte på hva jeg drev med og ser rett og slett litt leken og tigger etter å få papayatablettene sine. Han ser heldigvis ikke så stresset ut lenger, det var veldig godt å se :)

But now mum are going to give me my daily papaya tablets, so I have to go.
Fire!

But now mum are going to give me my daily papaya tablets, so I have to go.
I'm a music loving bunny, and I especially like rock and some metal. My favorite band is Guns N' Roses I think. And I also like Disturbed very well. I also like Slipknot which mum says she is finished with so I only listen to them when I'm home alone.
You see mum have made a profile and music library for me on a page called Last.fm (my username is
AristotelesII), and when I'm home alone I listen to this music. And it consists only of music I like (mum likes some classical and tai chi music which I hate, why can't she listen to that when she's not home?!)
Mum can tell which music I like since I relaxes, makes happy jumps and sometimes rolls over and lies down to just listen when I hear music I like, and since I get stressed, run under the bed or "thumps" with my hidden leg when I hear music that I don't like (like Christmas music...). So you can say that I are kind of picky when it comes to which music I listen to. Only the best is good enough for me.
Today mum brought a new Disturbed CD home; so right now I'm lying on my carpet with my ears towards the computer and is just listening to the music.
Me and our new Disturbed CD:

Today I was at
VilVite senteret in Bergen for a lecture in biochemestry (MOL100) and evolution and ecology (BIO110), and as I was there my attention was drawn against their little souvenir shop with lot of different science products for children. And before I got to think I stood there with a box with
Tripos sp. eggs.
After what I have fund out after loots of reading about care for these little creatures it seems like have got my hands on the species
Triops longicaudatus. But I wouldn't know for sure before they hatch.
So when I came home this evening I filled a box with water and added half of the box with eggs, and after what I have read I just have to wait in 24-48 hours before I will see them swimming around.
