We care closing in the holidays. I can't wait.
This is the time of year we do a deep clean of the furniture and replace the animal's beds and chew toys.
We are going on year 5 since we came back home. The dog and cat toys haven't been replaced but added it. It's getting to be a bit much.
As far as the rabbit goes, he doesn't do toys. We are his entertainment. I make a point playing with him at least twice a day. Sometimes, I come home for lunch just to make sure he is happy.
Add in 3 kids and a wife, and Fiver is a busy boy.

Let's squish fish!
You might have noticed one of Fiver's ears doesn't stand up. This is due to an ear infection as a baby. While he was treated for the infection, it went on too long for full recovery.
This is a hallmark of a domesticated rabbit, as wild rabbits likely wouldn't survive an infection as a baby, nor are they helped by the loss of ear movements. Obviously, rabbits are very sound-oriented. Less obvious are the heat regulation properties of their ears.
Unfortunately, this is a permanent condition for Fiver. It is relatively harmless in house kept bunnies. His friends, the three cats and the dog, don't seem to mind.
Meet Fiver. He is a largish Continental and Flemish Giant mix. At last check, he stands 32" high on his back feet and weighs 26 lbs. He free-ranges our home.
If you free-range a bunny in your home, get used to sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming.
