Bunny spay and neuter day!

Naomi:  OPEN THIS DOOR, little human!

Amos:  [munching] This is a really good papaya bite.

Mr. Giraffe:  I'm just here for the photo op.

Amos:  Um, I think there must be some mistake...the door's closed and I'm out of papaya bites.

Naomi:  I'm gonna wreck this carrier if you don't let me out!

Mr. Giraffe, Esq.:  As your legal counsel, Naomi, I'd strongly advise against committing any acts of vandalism.  Especially if it's being recorded by the property owner, like right now.

Just dropped the little munchkins off at the vet.  They'll keep me updated on how Amos and Naomi are doing and I'll let you all know as soon as I can.

EDIT: 2:53pm Just got a call from Amos and Naomi's vet that they're both out of surgery and are recovering well. Everything went well and I'll be able to pick them up at 5pm today! 😀 🎉

EDIT-EDIT: 8:56pm Everybun is back in their own large cage to limit them jumping around and potentially injuring themselves. Amos was eating a bit on his own around 5:30pm when I was able to bring them home. Both accepted a papaya bite and cranberry once I got them settled (usually, that helps them realize they're hungry). Naomi just started eating some romaine, so that's a relief (the tech said she is stubborn and kept spitting out the critical care they tried to feed her)! Poor Amos is looking sad because he was cleaning and realized that he's missing something he had this morning.

Oh NAOMI, SHE THRISTS FOR VIOLENCE. Amos looks a really a chill fella as long as he has food with him, but the second he finishes it, that's when one has to worry lol. I hope they weren't too scared, just be ready for a lot of bunny shunning.

Hi Mónica!
Yeah, Naomi definitely woke up and chose violence. Poor little Amos was so confused and just wanted to play! Hopefully they'll be gorked out enough on pain meds that the drama will be kept to a minimum once I get them back in their cages.

I hope that Naomi heeded the words of her legal council, it's definitely to risky to vandalize the cage while she is being filmed, it wont look good in court!

I'm very happy that everything went well with their surgeries, and I hope they get lots of rest and snacks so they can recover quickly and get back to their bunny shenanigans!

Hi Tarosagi!
Well, I think Mr. Giraffe's legal advice stopped her from flipping her food dish, so I consider that a win!

Aww, thanks--we are too! Naomi is eating her greens well, so hopefully she'll start on her pellets or hay in a little while. Amos hasn't eaten anything aside from the couple treats I offered, but it sounded like he took the force-feeding at the vet well and was eating some on his own before we left the vet's, so I'm taking a wait and see approach for him to be hungry enough to eat tonight.
