Help me!

I really need to meet with my mentor! Last week he told me that we'd meet on Thursday and he never showed up which is really strange because usually  I see him every week. The reason I need him is because I actually need to ask him for help with my presentation. He has been so great the whole project always there for me and not pushy at all ( which may not actually have been good) but now when need him he is missing. Come back Bowen, come back.

Australia

" Do a blog post on the rabbits that took over Australia " says Mr. Bowen every week. Well, I am doing a blog post on the rabbits that took over Australia everybody! See from my research I know that rabbits have of about 4-12 kits per litter and they can have up to 12 liters a year which is unlikely because the doe does need healing time but possible. So I figure that rabbits could take over a country in no time at all. The problem started when 24 wild European rabbits were released into Australia in 1788. Obviously, the hunters were no Robin Hood and couldn't shoot a bow for their life which means the rabbits all escaped and took over the country in a short amount of time. That is the lame part! The best The most historically significant part is that the rabbits spread west where the settlers did not live or want the rabbits. So they built a fence to keep the rabbits where they wanted them and to keep the Australian native species on the opposite side which separated the Aubergines from the Europeans in every-way possible. This is really cool it's like The Great Wall of China, or the Berlin Wall.

Yikes

I know my project is getting bad. I really can't do anything since the babies died a few weeks ago. When my goal was to watch them grow and find homes for them but now they are dead and i still have to do something but I don't know what to do. So I play with my rabbits and read things about rabbits about once or twice a week. I know that this is not enough but god give me a break! I feel like I'm standing in the middle of the road and a car is driving straight at me and by car I mean F or if I'm lucky D in this class :(

Question: Bunnies in Folklore

I choose to do a little research on the Moon Rabbit. The Moon Rabbit is also know as the Jade or Golden Rabbit, the Moon rabbit was sent to the moon as a present by Sakra. The story tells us that there was an old man begging for food on the day of the full moon.  When the old man begged for food four animals decided to help him by bringing him a food they could collect. The rabbit, who usually grazes on grass knew he had to bring something else to the old man. So he just threw himself inside a pot of boiling water! Then the old man reveled himself as Sakra and told the rabbit he was so impressed by his selflessness that he was going to send him to the moon so everyone can see him at night.

Research

I need to do more research for my project! So, I am going to come up with one question and have my sister come up with one question and I'm going to answer them in the next blog post I do. Also, my personal editor has gone on a trip to Madagascar. That means for the next two weeks their, I mean they're, I mean there will be a lot of grammatical errors.

Oops

I don't always post right as things happen so a lot of details get lost as I am typing, trying to remember things that happen days before.  This is one of my biggest struggles in the wise class so far. I moved my rabbit into my room and I hate it! When I'm trying to sleep he keeps on thumping his foot. THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP. This is all I hear and it's driving my crazy.

Training

Recently, I moved my male bunny into my house. I chose to move the boy bunny in rather than the girl bunny because he seems to be more tame than her. I'm planning on trying to tame him. He keeps peeing in the same corner of his cage, so I put newspaper and shredded paper down in that corner, and hopefully tonight I will see pee in that location. Spanking your rabbit doesn't help train them. They don't respond well to discipline. It makes them more afraid and they won't do what you tell them anymore. It's better to train them with benefits. I hope that I can train him well.

7

On my last blog post, I said that my rabbit gave birth to three dead bunnies. That number has gone up to seven. It's sad. Every time I've gone out to check on her there's been another one. It's really hard to go out there knowing that I'll be seeing death. Seeing it, and then picking it up and putting it out in a field. I've been thinking about what could have gone wrong. Apparently a lot of things. It's not uncommon for does to have trouble during their first pregnancy. It's just really sad and frustrating. Now I know there will be no bunnies by the time of my WISE presentation.

RIP

In the wild when animals give birth for the first time it isn't uncommon for there to be a few dead babies. Unfortunately, my doe gave birth to three dead babies today.
