So Far, So Good !

Baby Bunny seems to be doing well.
I'm thinking the lettuce incident didn't cause any serious damage - thank goodness I heard about it when I did so I could stop feeding it to him !
He's currently outfitted with a nice hay feeder that has hay and a bowl with timmothy hay cubes in it along with his feed mix. All of which he seems quite happy with !
SQUEEE !
Not only that, but he's also becoming more and more used to me and to my handling him. As I hold him he's beginning to want to snuggle with me which I TOTALLY LOVE. He's even letting me kiss his little head ! WHOO !
Today the kitties were, as usual, quite interested in him. At one point I was holding him while sitting on the bed. I put him down ono the bed so he could hop around and Panya, who was already on the bed, moved slowly towards him to sniff him. Agador then got in on the action, jumping on the bed and he and the bunny started sniffing one another. All was going well (I was SO happy with the kitties being so well behaved!) - I was making sure the bunny was calm and that he felt safe and that the kitties weren't overstepping their bounds - when Panya decided to hiss at him. At that point I determined the "getting to know you" phase of our day was over. Bunny wasn't upset, but I wanted to get him out of the situation in case she got agressive towards him. I picked him right up and held him for a little bit before putting him back into his cage.
Though I've been cleaning the house today, I've made a point of stopping in to visit with Bunny so he doesn't feel all alone back in his bedroom.
I've still yet to come up with a name for him - I think J and I are going to have to sit down tonight and figure it out. I'd prefer that he have a name so that I can start using it and getting him used to it - - - who knows? maybe he'll even one day respond to his name when called ! How great would that be?!?!?!?
I've been taking pictures of him every day and will have to post a new one once I can choose one I like the best
