a new member of the family


GAVRIK!!!!! aka HARRY :)

This is my new dwarf bunny, that is not a dwarf at all, but at age 7 weeks is more than 40cm tall. He is crazy and very hyperactive, and doesnt really know me or Ines yet... so this might be a very interesting journey.

First of all, this is a little furry grey thing that seems to like anything red, as it has already 'tasted' everything red in my room. When I am at home, I let him out of the very comfortable, 3 storey cage, and he runs around my room. Curiously enough, he never runs out of the open door. His favourate place is either on the 3rd floor of the cage, or underneath the Singer on top of the mushroom plantation, which he has dug up....

He is the most curious animal I have ever seen. Even when he is scared, he must go see what is going on around him. Due to this, he has already sniffed and then poked me and Ines with his nose. Today was another breakthrough, as he ate from our hands, while we were slowly petting his chin. Progress! And all this on day 2 of his stay here. We shall see what comes next...
