Here he is.
Lewis.
Oh yeah, we ended up naming him Lewis.
Lou for short.
He was really sweet when we first picked him up.
He let me cuddle him and hold him and pet him.
He was a good little bunny the whole drive home.
Then when we got home, he got sassy.
He did a lot of this:
But I still love him.
It took him a while to get comfortable and eat and drink.
He hid behind the toilet for almost an hour.
We got his cage set up and now he looks like he feels at home.
His favorite snack so far is muli-grain Cheerios.
And there is no sweeter sound (or sight) than him trying to run on hardwood floors.
I love him so much I'm afraid I might go Lenny on him.
You won't get that joke unless you have read Of Mice and Men.
We have a lot of training to do and I'm excited to do it.
I just really really really love him.
Here he is refusing to eat a carrot while looking adorable:
He also likes when I sing "Little Bunny Foo Foo" but change it to "Little Bunny Lou Lou"
We read online that in order to get your pet bunny to trust you, you have to lay on your belly on the floor and let it explore the room. Eventually, the bunny will come to you and get familiar with your smell and see you are not a threat. I was doing this last night (and felt like an idiot cause I looked like I was planking in my living room) and it totally worked. Lou came hopping over and started hopping on my head and back. I was in heaven. Then he started sniffing my head and then I felt a BITE. My instinct reaction was to freak out but I didn't want to scare him. So there I laid in the living room, silently screaming because a bunny just bit my head. I let him roam around and get familiar with the place for about an hour and then he hopped back into to Bunnytown (his cage) and he went to bed. So if i keept doing this, I think he will be just fine.
