[Petbunny] Cleaning Up After A Messy Bunny

[Stardancer]

I use a big VERY colourful Dyson vacuum cleaner, it copes really well with
MUCH hay, although sometimes I vacuum a stray poop and it shoots it straight
out the back onto my leg like a bullet, I think bunnies plan it that way!
I often just keep a long handled dustpan and brush and use that for little
messes. 
My buns have always had free roam of the house and go through phases of
being messy, other times are really good?
Willow would always stop by when I was vacuuming for his groom with the loud
monster, he loved it, it was really funny to watch a lops ears, become uppy
when sucked up the pipe! :0) He just purred his contentment and would head
butt me for more when I stopped! Indigo on the other hand would run for
cover as soon as she heard it turn on, she has always been afraid of the
monster form day one, mind you we was so little when she first cam to us, it
was a distinct possibility it may well have gobbled her all up! :0) Now she
is so much on the 'fluffy' side, she has trouble squeezing through her play
tunnel now! :0)
Good luck with the boding!
Blessings, Paige, Angel Willow and Indigo :XB

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......
