Coconut has been adopted!

Coconut has finally been adopted last week after being fostered by me for 11 months! She has gone on with a nice lady that will give her free run of her house. From what I've heard, Coconut has settled down nicely and is already warming up well to her new family. The lady said Coconut is "near perfect". Coconut has come a long way since I fostered her. She was found as a stray and I suspected she didn't have a good life before. She used to be easily startled and scared of everything. Over the time she's been with me, it's very obvious that she has gradually learned to trust, and actually love, human and feel comfortable in her home. The above picture is the last photo I took of her. She sits beside/below me every morning and evening while I'm at my desk. She would dance around me or lick my feet sometimes. She is grooming herself in the picture. Although I will miss her company, I am very happy that Coconut has found a good home.

Sterling jumping on bed

If you watch the first few seconds carefully, you can see Sterling jumping high and running around happily!

Invasion of the orange sphere!

 
I left a ball outside of Coconut's favourite box/hideout for her to play. She was obviously intimidated by it and I thought I'll leave it there for her to work things out. When I came back in a few minutes, I saw the ball has taken over her spot and she's too afraid to go back in. The ball must have drifted in and she moved away (she was napping there, where the ball is now). Poor girl is hiding from the ball as you can see from the picture. 

Fitting in

 
Sterling is settling in nicely. I just witnessed his first binky last night. I've never seen a small rabbit binky. Also, he has claimed a corner on my bed and sleeps there with me. He knows when I'm going to bed and would run around on my bed then spend a few minutes grooming before laying down. He does that routine every night. His litter habbits haven't been perfect, but he's been very good this week. I'm hoping he'll keep it that way. During the day, he likes to climb up high and nap on this box you see in the picture. 

Sterling is adopted!

 

We've officially adopted Sterling last week! Then we found out he has bad litter habbits. Actually, he's very consistent to where he goes, just that not where we wanted... e.g. on my bed. But after almost a week of training, and many loads of laundry, I think he understands now. He's been free for two nights in a row in my bedroom and have been very good so far. By the way, he has claimed a corner on my bed as his own to sleep on. I'll let him out when I'm not home today too and see how it goes. 

Coconut new eyelashes

 

I just realized this morning that Coconut has grown some darker coloured eyelashes. either that or she's put on some mascara last night. Coconut is becoming a pretty lady!

On another note, I think I haven't posted the link to my photo album. So here it is. You will find both Coconut and Sterling's photos there. 

new rabbit Sterling

 
We are currently fostering to decide to adopt this 2lbs Netherland Dwarf. He is so tiny! Coconut's head is almost the size of his entire body! But this little rabbit is packed full of energy. He doesn't seem to like to sit still at times. If you pet him though, he'll melt right in your hand and let you pet him for a long time. He's really friendly and climbed all over us for attention when we sat on the floor. He also doesn't mind being picked up. So now I have two opposing personalities rabbits, Coconut is large and laid back, while Sterling is tiny and adventurous.
