Hi Guys & Gals,
This post is about my Rabbit named Jaina Layla Joie, I got her back in 2011 when she was about 4 months old from the Houston SPCA. She is a black and white rabbit with long hair on her neck and head. I named her after the month she was born which is January and the name Layla was her name at the SPCA and the name Joie is after one of my favorite actresses "Bethany Joy Lenz" of OTH. Now Jaina is 2 years old and still rocking her long hair and lovable as always.
I'll also walk y'all through how to care for your rabbit/bunny and how to clean his or her cage depending on the kind that you have.
well my rabbit is in the basic rabbit starter cage which isn't the best cage for her now that she is bigger and older but it works for now until I can get her a new & bigger one.
Okay so how do I clean her cage?
1st. Get your supplies you'll need, Paper Towels, Water Bottle or Wipes, Trash bag, a cat scooper or a scooper of some kind, Bedding
2nd. Remove the food bowl, water bottle and anything else you might have in there, then remove the sides/lid of the cage to where it just shows the bottom of the cage
3rd. remove your rabbit either by letting her or him roam around or put her in a enclosed area
4th. Get the trash bag in a trash can and you can either put the bottom of the cage in the trash bag to dump the old bedding or get your scooper and scoop the old bedding out in to the trash
5th. then get your water bottle, paper towels, or wipes and clean the base of the cage really well and then dry it
6th. clean out the food bowl, and drain the old water in the water bottle for the rabbit, give her fresh food and water
7th. get the fresh bedding and put enough in the base of the cage to cover the bottom
8th. Put the sides/lid back on the cage
9th. put back the food bowl and water bottle in the cage along with anything else you may have had in there
10th. get your happy rabbit back into her clean fresh cage with some treats.
this is how I clean my rabbits care, very simple and doesn't take to long either.
I usually put toilet paper rolls in my rabbit's cage so she has a toy or something to chew on since rabbits and all rodents alike have teeth that never stops growing.
Keep your rabbit brushed, clean and give her or him lots of love and care and let them run around one everyday if possible.
this is my post about my rabbit Jaina Layla Joie.
My next post with be on my cats so stay tuned. thanks

My Hamsters
Hi Guys & Gals, I have a passion for animals and well I own quite a bit of them not just my hamsters but a mix of Dogs, Cats & a Rabbit. But this post is all about my 11 hamsters.
Okay so starting this year I wanted to adopt a hamster or two and I did. I ended up adopting 2 baby brother Robo's and named them Zarek & Xeno and from there I then also a week or two later adopted 2 female sister Robo's named Xena & Gabrielle, then a week later I adopted my Fancy Russian Dwarf named Adrik and then from there I was looking on Craigslist for hamsters for adoption and I saw this person was selling a male Russian Dwarf and so I adopted him and named his Pac Edik and then about the beginning of March I adopted a female Russian Dwarf who I named Mila Prudence but before I got her I adopted 2 female sister winter whites named Piper & Phoebe through a breeder and soon after the breeder still had two more of the same litter up for adoption so then I adopted Leo & Cole who is Piper & Phoebe's biological brothers. Having hamsters is easy to maintain because the cages are easy to put together and clean and stuff, the down side of having more than one hamster together in the same cage is they can end up fighting even when they are siblings sadly so this leads me to my next post I had to separate Zarek & Xeno, Piper & Phoebe and Now I just recently had to separate Cole & Leo from one another as well as Xena & Gabrielle. Your maybe wondering does hamsters smell? Well I'll tell you yes they do as any rodent they all have a natural smell to them and also to maintain the cage from smelling you must clean it every week to week in a half so you can maintain a safe clean environment for your furry little friends and also you don't want a smelly room.
How do I clean my hamsters cages & tanks? I'll walk you step by step on how I clean each..
1st. Get all the supplies you'll need a box or carrier to put your hamster in while you clean his or her cage, a water bottle filled with water, paper towels, trash bag, bedding.
2nd. Easily & Gently grab your hamster and place him or her in the box while you clean their cage
3rd. Remove all objects from your hamster cage, water bottle, food bowl, house, tubes, wheel and set them aside or in a dish pan to be soaked in warm temp water w/ soap
4th. Take the lid & sides of the cage off and set that to the side and then grab the bottom base of the cage and dump the old dirty bedding into the trash bag, make sure you get as much of it out as possible
5th. Get your water bottle and paper towels and spray the bottom base of the cage and wipe it out really well on the sides and bottom and do that until you see no yellow markings as the hamsters pee does stick, after you've done this get a fresh paper towel and dry the cage very well where it's not wet inside
6th. Now get the fresh bedding and put it in the cage or tank where it covers the complete bottom since hamsters like to burrow by nature
7th. Now while you have the fresh bedding in the cage now you want to go make sure you clean the food bowl, wheel, tubes ad house very well since they've been soaking for a while, rinse them under cool water to make sure all the soap and pee is off the wheel, bowl, tubes etc and then dry the wheel, food bowl and house very well, let the tubes try over night and then place them back in the cage "The Tubing".
8th. Now go put the cage lid and sides back on top of the bottom of the cage and after that then replace back in the cage the Wheel, Food Bowl w/ fresh food, House, and Put fresh water in the water bottle as well
9th. Now get your little furry friend and place him or her in to their clean fresh cage w/ a little bit of treat for being a good little hamster while you cleaned their cage!! I know
These steps seem like a lot of work but trust me its not really.
