Tinkie Minkie!!

Fri ,23/10/2009

Well as usual its a journey of learning with the bunnies. My oldest girl Gracie is going to be 9 in the new year and now that Trinket is gone, naturally its her turn to need some attention. She has just developed sore hocks so we have been trying to find way to make her more comfortable and pampered so they some healing can begin.

Now Gracie is the cranky self reliant type and doesn’t take to too much loving or pampering. I did put down super plush faux lambskin all throughout her hutch, which she ferociously chewed apart the first week, but she is finally enjoying now. We tried wrapping her hocks with a wad of felted bunny fur cushioning her hocks, but she wouldn’t wear them for more than a few hours. Then I tried putting ointment on her hocks and putting socks over her feet as well, but those too were chewed off. Now we are on to moleskin patches and so far she is leaving them on so we’ll see how it goes.

Now in my quest to bring pampering to my cranky girl I have discovered this amazing fabric, Minky! Wow, so super soft and silky I knew I just had to make some blanket and maybe some socks for Gracie to see if she would tolerate this newest luxury.

Well you have to know it wasn’t long before I came up with the idea of Tinkie Minkies in honor of Trinket, as she is my muse. Too bad I hadn’t discovered this stuff when she was still alive, I know she would have loved the socks to keep her warm and sure would have loved the hours of cuddles in the blanket with me.

So here are my first creations with the Minky fabric, I have donated several pieces to the Bunnies in Need Group at Bunspace so hopefully they will help raise some good funds to help out some needy buns. For now I’ve got to concentrate on helping my needy buns as now its seems Gracie is going to require some ongoing vet care. Dr Deb doesn’t know it yet, but Gracie is her next bunny patient Frown

I have found using the snuggly blankets as a great way to bond with mybunny. My two “hellbuns” have a tendency to be a bit unruly, but when I wrap them up in a nice soft blanket, I manage to keep them on the couch with me for snuggle sessions. Each session I increase the time to gradually buildup their tolerance of me!  But then Trinket would lay in my arms for hours on end enjoying all the snuggling I could give. Either way I find it nice to have a special snuggle blanket for each bunny that has just their smell on, especially important not to have two rival bunnies sharing a blanket, its fine for two bonded buns to smell each other during snuggle time.
