[Petbunny] Cleaning Up After A Messy Bunny

[Amanda Hallock]

I use a Bissell stick vac to collect the shredded paper, cardboard, hay,
fur, and stray pooties.  Yeah, Greg can be a disaster too.  Cost me about
twenty bucks.  It collects into a cup you just dump.  Has a filter you just
brush the hair off with your fingers.  If it gets too dusty, you rinse it
and let it dry and you're good as new.  Now if he's dumping his water bowl,
I use those nifty super absorbent towels that started as garden towels but
are now advertised everywhere (they show them pouring a glass of water in a
bowl and then setting the towel in it and it goes "slurp" and sucks it up).
I have several.  They're great.  Wonderful for working with the aquarium
too!  But that's just because I'm poor.

My sweet Gus is a very messy bunny and I am thinking of getting a good shop
vac to make cleaning their room faster and easier....  What brand or brands
do you guys suggest?

 

Things around here have been very hectic so I haven't had much time to work
on the bonding process.......but this weekend I will be concentrating on
getting them together a few times each day, trying them in a laundry basket
on the washer with it on the spin cycle, and maybe a couple car rides
(weather permitting).

 

They seem to love the other grasses I bought to add variety to their diet.. 
I got a bag of Meadow grasses and a bag of Orchard grass and then the nice
bale of hay bought from a local family...  They sure like that hay so I'm
cutting back on their pellets a little bit so they eat more hay....

 

Well I am going to go sit down and relax while Wayne is outside plowing some
of the neighbor's driveways..   He has a snow blade on his John Deere mower
and takes care of Peggy the widow next door and is doing the other neighbor
s tonight too......  We got our Shih Tzu/Cockapoo named Harley from them and
then this Spring I got Charley our Shih Tzu from them......
