Our conversation


Me: Kenshiro~.


Kenshiro: Yeah?


Me: Come to Mommy~.


Kenshiro: I'm deciding what to do.. Have you got a treat??

All the way for Apple.


Despite of my determination for Kenshiro's diet,

I am guilty of spoiling her.


Whenever I start eating an apple or a banana, she would hear (maybe smell??)it, stop whatever she's doing and ran to me for the very possible treat.

And I just can't resist her~~~. Agh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!


So... just then, she successfully obtained a piece of apple.

Well, apples are better than bananas...(; ;)

Hide and Seek


Mischevous Kenshiro loves hiding behind any new-arriving cardboard box.

This one arrived from my Mom a few weeks ago.

Thank you, Mom!

Soft-carry training


Kenshiro still does not allow us to hold her, unless she is locked up in her cage.
So when emergency happens allureing her into the cage and what I need to do.

But I also need her to get used to the soft carry.
So I resumed my training today.
Giving her a good memory about being in the soft carry is the key.

First time I successfully allured her into the carry and closed the zipper.
Then she showed resistance in a such violent manner, trying to push the mesh top with her nose in a desparate attempt to get out.
Once I opened the zipper, she jumped out and ran away.
I did giveher the treats while she was confined, but I think it was not a success.

Second time, I left some treats in her carry.
Now she is very cautious. She makes sure she does not entirely go into it.
Therefore this half butt-out.
Quite a smart girl!

Evacuation set for rabbits

Devastating earthquake and the followisng evacuation in Japan urged me to think about the evacuation set for Kenshiro.
Though we do not have earthquake in HK, it is still necessary for emergency like fire.

The rabbit magazine I bought last year in Japan, 「うさぎの時間 no.5 2010」lists the following goods;

  • Medical --- medical records and contact for the vets, medicine if your rabbit is on medication, cyringe for possible forced feeding
  • Food --- pellets & hay in airtight container/plastic bags, drinking water (a week's supply in pet bottles), water bottle, food bowl, favorite treats in case of decreased appetite.
  • Housing --- soft carry bag (for evacuation/ transport), hard carry bag (to keep all the goods, once settled, your rabbit should move to the hard carry), metal fence/ wire net for excercise, fleece for keeping warm, cool mat for summer (one that does not need frozen mat, the metal ones etc), soft hay mat, harness/lead, toilet sheets, etiquet spray, plastic bags, towels, wet tissues, grooming kit, toys

We should be ready for them anytime.
