Sunday Selfies on Monday!

I know we are a day late.....well we were expecting Mr Mickey the Hedgehog to come home Yesterday but due to the weather his return has been delayed but its warming up in a couple of days so it should be later this week!There has been a lot of action with our 2 visiting hedgehogs Reggie and the other one which we think may be a girl cause Reggie keeps trying to romance her but well she's not having any of it so we will see but for now we shall call her Lola.We will up load some movies in the week for you all to see!
Mummy has been busy working as she now has a new part time job as an in house pet blogger for toypetreview.com this is her first post if you want to take a look,so on top of her normal job she's having to shuffle a bit with her time.
Any way here's me on another adventure last week....after all that's what you really want to see!

Mum had to carry me up to the top!

Sunday Selfies.....Relax

Shhhh its Sunday....Relax and take it Easy.......

I know we have been awol but isn't this nice!

Sunday Selfies...an Adventure and Hogcam action

Hi its Sunday selfies but on Monday! Just thought I would let you all know I am still doing ok after my scare in the on Friday but I did have an adventure with Mummy beginning of last week so here it is....

it was fun looking around the Museum...

Now Mummy set up the Hogcam as its dry weather at the moment and here is last nights action(Sunday)....

 The Hog House Dinner stopped a nosy cat that snuck in to the garden!

May be Reggie...we think so by the size.

Not sure who this is in these 2 next clips.

And finally a timid mouse....it was to scared to go in.Mummy is going to move the position of the hogcam to get a bigger view for tonight's action!

No More Scares Mr Speedy!

This Fellow gave us a scare this morning,when we woke up Speedy wouldn't get up.I gave him his cuddle and then his breakfast.....Not interested in his food!

Seems he had gas.I had to go to work,So daddy gave him lots of water,Gas drops (infacol) and some very gentle tummy rubs and then a dose of gut stimulant after a hour or two he was back to normal...pigging out on all his food again.

A lot of people don't realise that their bunny might have gas and don't treat them for it straight away.They then take their bunny to the vets but by that time its too late and the bunny is in full blown GI stasis and have an emergency on their hands.We always keep Infacol (Baby Gas drops) in the house for this very purpose.

                                                   No More Scares Mr Speedy!!!

Sunday Selfies Time for St Patrick's Day!

Happy St Patrick's Day to you all,I hope the day brings you all the Luck of the Irish!

Well it's been a funny old week ,what with the stormy weather and mum dipping in to the garden in th 5 dry minutes we've had and battling against the winds we did manage to do this.....

My new Treasure Chest....its a 1600's or 1700's strong box...the base broke off many moons ago as did the door.Mummy brought home from a friends farm.They let her have so mummy could make a nice feature out of it!The best Treasure...to make it look lovely!

Then mummy ordered a new Hedgehog house to use as a feeding station in the front Garden.We have 2 Hedgehogs coming most nights a big one which we think is Reggie and a smaller one....I guess the local Hedgehog are getting to hear about a new Dinner in town!As for Mr Mickey he is still at the rescue,as they are waiting for the weather to improve before releasing the hedgehogs in their care back to where they come from.So he could be back next week or the week after.Hopefully the other Hedgehog box that mummy ordered will be here before Mr Mickey comes home otherwise she will have to repair the old one.
Mummy is still doing a bit more planting and has some seeds to sow for the bees and butterflies so there will be many more garden reports to come as it all starts to grow and flower!

Bunny Mortality by Speedy's Mum

I have been dreading writing this post because it brings into question Speedy's own mortality something that I am dreading one day facing.But after Miss Lola Bun's crossing of the Bridge I do have to face one fact Speedy is getting older and he is showing signs of his age.

For weeks Speedy has been having an issue in his sleep den....during the night he has not been using his litter tray and we did wonder if he had a UTI but down stairs where he free ranges he has no problem so it couldn't be that....

It looks like Speedy has a touch of arthritis and it looks like it is in his front legs or paws so when he gets up he finds it difficult to hop in the litter tray ,so we did away with the tray and lined the bottom of his den with puppy training pads where the litter tray used to be and bob's your uncle Speedy went back to going toilet in his usual area where the pads are.

The vets have been warning us about Speedy's weight and arthritis for years and that we needed to get him slimmer....easier said than done!I measure out his food he is on the bare minimum and we can only cut back to that point so all we can do is getting him moving about which we are doing as best as we can....that's why we get him out on adventures when we can but that is weather permitting so it is a constant battle to control his weight.Speedy weighs between 3.3kg and 3.5kg Ideally he should be below 3kg to 2.5kg.

So what can we do?Well all we can do is try to get his weight down and there is a joint supplement for rabbit which has natural anti inflammatories to help with pain that we can try or we can try CBD hemp oil  if the supplements don't help or we have to go to the vet for painkiller.For now we are going to try the joint supplement and try to make things a bit more comfortable in the home.

But all this does bring home that Speedy won't be around forever the thing that I hate the most and dread facing
