Here are the Latest Updates about the Bunnies and our Web Site.
It was a nice warm day, and the babies were moving around alot, starting to explore. So, we thought it’d be a good day for the babies to have their pictures taken. Well...
First up were Mama Mush’s kids. Mama Bonnie, caretaker of the animals at Cabin Creek Acres, had set up a little area for the bunnies to crawl around on. They were carefully taken from the nesting box and placed on the new set.
The babies immediately started peeing. And the set was ruined. So, they were put on a nice piece of stuffing, they started piling up on each other, and tried to go to sleep. We took a few pictures, then put the babies back into the nesting box, then back in the habitat - where Mama Mush was waiting. And she wasn’t happy.
We stepped away from the irritated mama, and went over to see Mama Circus Circus. She apparently had been paying attention to the goings on, and put her paws down.
Again, carefully, the nesting box was removed from the habitat, and Mama Circus Circus’ kids were placed on their set. They also peed.
Still, we managed to get a few cute photos and they are up in the gallery. We also got some of their adventure on video - go to this link at YouTube to see it.
The babies were returned to Mama Circus Circus, and all went back to normal in the habitats. The babies are starting to leave the cover of the fur and hay, and you can see them crawling around, and starting to open their eyes with the BunnyCam.
Mama Circus Circus got spoiled today. She and her babies moved into a more spacious habitat. It’s a bit bare, but the babies don’t mind at the moment - they are too cozy hiding in the hay and fur. The decorators should arrive soon to make it more homey.
We also installed the new high-quality camera in the new habitat. Getting both cameras to work nicely together was like pulling teeth, but it looks successful (at the moment).
In the next few days, you should start to see more of the babies, as they open their eyes and start exploring. You can already see hints of fur on them, and they’re getting chubby. The Mamas must be feeding them right, although we have no idea when it occurs.
Who was it that said you shouldn’t work with animals?
Yes, we have some photos of the new babies from both Mama Mush and Mama Circus Circus. But, honestly, they aren’t that good. The babies are hiding under the fur, keeping warm while their own fur grows in.
And, protective mothers are nearby, waiting for careless humans to make a wrong move. So we have the best photos possible under strenuous conditions. We’ll put more photos into the galleries as the Mamas allow.
Plus, a video awaits you on YouTube - it’s Mama Circus Circus’ babies in living color! Here’s the link!
We’ve been able to add another camera to our feed, so you can see the babies of both Mama Mush and Mama Circus Circus, when they start to pop out from under the fur and hay. The quality of the second camera is pretty poor, so another camera has been ordered and should be installed by Wednesday at the latest.
We’re able to cycle between the two cameras every 30 seconds with the help of Mike from Vidblaster.com. That’s why you see the Vidblaster logo in the corner. Believe you me, we’ve search up and down for a program that would do this, and so far, it’s been living up to expectations. Our feed still goes through Ustream too.
Behind the scenes, there are plans for more decorative changes to the habitats as well. Plus, we think we have a count on the number of babies, but they keep moving around so we’re not sure yet. They all look healthy and are eating well too. We still haven’t seen feeding time on the camera yet - the Mamas seem to know when no one is looking.
We hope you’re enjoying the babies as much as we are!
Off camera, but nearby, Circus Circus earned her “Mama” title just a few hours after Mama Mush.
Mama Circus Circus, in a short time when no one was looking, delivered her batch o’ babies. They are also buried in the hay and fur blanket, keeping warm.
Mush has been granted the title of “Mama” - our newest star beat the countdown clock by several hours when she delivered her batch o’ baby bunnies this morning. It happened so fast, it caught everyone behind the scenes off guard.
The babies are in the hay and under the fur blanket that Mama Mush made for them, to keep them warm. We’re not yet sure how many babies there are. Stay tuned for updates!
Meet Mush, the newest star on the BunnyCam. She’s white, with caramel marking on her face.
Some say her face is squished a bit, and that’s why her name is Mush.
Now, that’s a tiny dog! Click to follow the link to a very tiny chihuahua.
And, here’s a dog that stood a little too close to the sink while dishes were getting done.
Cabin Creek Acres is located in the great northeast. It still gets pretty cold here, so our fuzzy friends are enjoying their extra-long stay inside while we wait for the weather to cooperate. The bunnies may have lots of fur, but we don’t want them to be mad at us if they go outside a little too soon.
Looks like we’ll be installing the new camera on Saturday, so don’t be surprised if we go off the air for a little bit.
