About Me
White and brown/grey patches. Basically a puppy in a rabbit's body! He's an old soul (9!) who loves to sunbathe and snooze. Looking for someone to give him snacks.
Interests
- •Sleeping in the sun
- •Getting ear rubs
- •Snacking on hay, treats, and anything and everything
- •Being the centre of attention
- •Cuddles
Staying Cool in Summer 🌞
- •Keep the ceiling fan on — the light switch by the door controls it
- •Open the living room bay window and conservatory windows for airflow
- •If it's very hot (uncomfortable for a person), move Obi into the kitchen
- •Place a blanket over Barclay and Sisko's gate so they can't see each other
- •Move Obi's water and litter tray into the kitchen too
Litter Habits 🚽
Obi is a bit lazy and occasionally misses the litter tray. Replace the puppy pads on his chair as needed — spares are in the white box on top of the hay tub.
Red Flags 🚩
- •Will fight Barclay if given the chance
- •Can get a poorly tummy if fed too many veggies
- •Lying in the litter tray or pressing his tummy to the ground
- •Refusing food indicates a problem
About Me
Dark brown with streaks of light brown. He's the adventurous type who loves to explore new heights (literally). Not into touching, but might let you stroke his back if you play your cards right. Sometimes he looks like he's seeing ghosts.
Interests
- •Jumping (still working on the landing part)
- •Lurking in the dark
- •Napping whilst looking like a loaf of bread
- •Stomping his feet to express displeasure (you'll know if you've upset him!)
Red Flags 🚩
- •Likes to nibble things he shouldn't — cardboard and paper are fine, but watch out for wires and furniture
About Me
Light brown all over. He's energetic in short bursts and will collapse in a flop when he's done. He loves to sleep on his side with his eyes open and make everyone think he's dead. 💀 If you catch him when he's snoozy you can usually get some good pets in.
Interests
- •Running around like a race car
- •Jumping over Sisko
- •Selective petting
- •Giving a gentle nip if he thinks you're in his way
Red Flags 🚩
- •Will fight Obi if given the chance — keep them separated
- •Likes to nibble things he shouldn't — cardboard and paper are fine, but watch out for wires and furniture
- •He may genuinely look like he's died. Give him a gentle poke — he's usually still with us. 💀
House Information 🏠
Access & Security
- 🔑 Keys
- Key safe in the garden behind the gate
- 🚪 Locking the front door
- Can be tricky — lift the handle and turn the key to lock. You may need to pull on the door to get it to lift all the way.
- 🚪 Internal doors
- Keep Obi's conservatory door open to let heat in. Keep all other doors closed.
- 🪟 Windows
- Closed when you leave. If it's hot, leave windows on the security latch (partially open) — the conservatory windows can be left open for airflow.
- 🐰 Enclosure gates
- When away, make sure all gates are closed and wedged shut.
Gates and Resources
- Hay and Litter
- Both in grey tubs under the stairs. 1 scoop of litter in each tray, 1 handful of hay in each tray.
Obi has plenty of space so doesn't need to go in the kitchen
🧽 Cleaning Litter Trays
- Pull the whole litter tray liner out and tie it up
- Put the tied liner in the black refuse bin outside down the side of the house
- If needed, use the cleaning spray and a paper towel to wipe down the litter tray
- Add a new liner from the pink box into the litter tray
- Fill the bottom of the litter tray with clean litter (Megazorb) - about 2-4 scoops
- Add in some fresh hay
☀️ Hot Weather: Moving Obi
If it is very hot in the conservatory, Obi should be moved into the kitchen. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for him!
- Move Obi's hay, water, and bed box (the box to the right of the computer) into the kitchen.
- Set up Barclay and Sisko's gate as normal to stop Obi from getting into the living room.
- Place a blanket over the gate so they can't see each other.
- Keep Obi's gate across the conservatory door to stop him from going back in and cooking himself.
Home Maintenance
- • Heating: Thermostat under the stairs - just under 20°C is comfortable
- • Bins: Every Tuesday morning.Schedule
- • Mail: Place into the letter holder on the window sill by the door
Updates & Communication
- • Any questions or concerns, please contact us. Videos are always appreciated!
- • Please note any unusual behavior or concerns with either the rabbits or the house.
Daily Schedule 📅
- Check all bunnies are active and well
- In warm weather, check Obi's room temperature
- Set up gates and let Barclay and Sisko out for a run around
- Litter tray check and clean
- Refresh water and hay as needed
- Give Obi some cuddles
- Feed everyone their daily herbs
- Put pellets in bowls — the sound encourages bunnies back to their enclosures
- Close the gates and make sure everyone is back in their space
- Final check — all bunnies secure, house locked up
🌡️ Temperature Monitoring
Outdoor Forecast — Next 6 Hours
Outdoor temperatures only — the conservatory typically runs 5–10°C warmer.
💊 Medication Reference Guide
None of the buns currently need medication — this is here for reference if they ever do.
If a bunny needs oral medication, the best approach is to hide the dose in a lettuce leaf so they take it willingly. Your vet will tell you the correct dosage. Follow these steps:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Get one lettuce leaf per bunny out of the bottom drawer in the fridge
- Prepare the correct dose as instructed by the vet
- Squirt the dose into the medicated bunny's lettuce leaf
- Feed the bunny the leaf with the medicine in it
- Give the other bunnies their plain leaves at the same time so they don't try to steal the medicated one
- Make sure the bunny has eaten the whole leaf
⚠️ Important Note:
If some medicine spills, that's okay — don't try to give another dose. The important thing is that the bunny gets most of it. If in doubt, call us.
