Buzzzzzzzzzz

Today, when I went outside to feed the buns, I heard a loud buzzing.  So, I looked up and saw two huge bumblebees.
Apparently, they were trying to build a nest in the bunny pen.  They had chewed a pretty big hole in the wooden roof support.  Also, one of the bees constantly had it's head stuck in the hole, chewing.  It was pretty cool, except for the fact that they were building a nest in the bunny pen.
I tried to take a video of the bee chewing the hole, but it didn't turn out so great.  But, I'll upload it anyway:

Unfortunately, the bees could not live there.  So, my dad killed one and filled the hole.  Oh, well.  It was fascinating while it lasted.

Will Music Affect the Pulse of Rabbits?

This school year, my science fair project was bunny-related.  And I got to state!

My project was: Will Music Affect the Pulse of Rabbits?  I basically tested a control and three songs and compared all five rabbits' heart rates. 

I won my category at the Glasgow Fair, which is Animal Science.  That meant I went to Regionals.  I also won my category at Regionals.  But, when I went to State on Monday, I didn't win anything.  :(  Oh well.

Also, this week (Spring Break), we are @ Fontainebleau State Park.  Which means that the buns are not with us.  However, we have our trustworthy babysitter Leighanne to look after them!  Thanks!

Flopsy Hates My Croc

Today was Clean Up Day.  I was, well, cleaning up, when I noticed Flopsy behind me.  Apparently my foot was in her way, and she was getting really mad.  So, she was biting, scratching, clawing, and pushing as much as she could to get my Croc out of the way (even though there was a clear path that she could've taken around it).  It was pretty funny to watch.  She does the same thing sometimes to the mini broom I use to clean up.  She inflicts much more damage to the broom, though.  Bristles everywhere!

Lots of Change!

Wow, that's the second BunBlog change in one month.  I think this one's a keeper, though.  But I'll be posting a poll to see if y'all think the same! 
The bunnies are doing great.  Nothing really significant has happened, I just felt like posting something.  ;)
Plus, there's still no signs of the water bottle that mysteriously disappeared.  Finally we bought a replacement.  I guess it's in the burrow somewhere...

Phone Posting

Just trying out this new feature. Apparently I can post blog entries from my phone! Cool!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Yesterday was the big St. Patrick's Day parade and crawfish boil!  Unfortunately, that means that the bunnies weren't let out all day, for fear of someone trying to pick them up or leaving the gate open and letting them out.  But I picked one up every few hours to let the kids pet them (it was usually Thumper or Cini).  However, they were suprisingly calm for all the noise and petting.  Cini actually fell asleep in the sun patch in the middle of the pen!

Mass Escape!

A few days ago, it rained so hard and for so long that it flooded the burrow AND there was mud in the pen.  I figured I should bring them in, because it was pretty cold.  So, I did, and brought them back out the next day.

Also, today my friend Dana came over.  I was trying to catch a bunny, so I opened up the burrow.  We caught Flopsy, so we went to go pet her.  A few minutes later I realized we had left the burrow open!  Thumper, Jewels, and Memphis were all out and enjoying the freedom.  Eek!
