Niblet's new neighborhood

Niblet's Cottontail Cottage was starting to look a little more like a condemned building, so Santa brought him some new digs!
Here are some "before" shots. Note the top edges--Cookies loves to hop up onto the third floor and chew on the cardboard:

The inside didn't look much better:
Wow. The poor little guy was living in a hovel.
Curb appeal to the rescue!
Here we are, swinging hammers and hauling 2x4s, building a new home for my little Son, Moon, and Stars:
Niblet: You're doing it wrong! Me: Oh yeah? YOU try folding these crazy tabs!

Finally--Niblet's new neighborhood came together! His new Cottontail Cottage:


His new "Magic Dream Cottage"--the street address is 24 Carrot Lane!:



Here's Nibble, hangin' in his new 'hood:

Of course, the kitties had to check it out too; here's Kisses, trying to wheeze on Nibble's gig:

Hey, get out of my magic dream house! Those are MY magic dreams you're having in there!

Dang cats, they try to hog everything.

Oh, my! That is so cute! I love that rabbit. And the kitties are cute, too!

You know I am "nib-sessed" so I am very happy to see these photos!

How fun!

Awww--the cat inspector checks out the new bunny house first. So like a cat.
What's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine!
Hope Niblet's happy with the new posh place.

Those cardboard bunny houses confuse me. Can they hold the BIG bunnies (like Laura's Gigantic Flemings or whatever they're called) or are they just for the normal-sized rabbits?
It seems to me that a big bunny would just collapse the things.
In any case....Nib's new digs are posh!

Dr. M: Yes they do! They are always sitting inside Nib's cage, too.

Dcup and Fran--they are sweeties--I love that: Nib-session!

KGMom--that's it exactly--everything belongs to the kitties, and poor Nibble just sits there and pouts.

Susan--the floors are actually double-thickness, and the tabs really hold them in place. The weight wouldn't be a problem, but the doors might be too small!

This is too much, Delia! Cats and bunnies have the good life at your house. Hey, I'd join in on the fun, too. LOL!

Oh Mary, Niblet's "to the manor born," eh? He's been hanging out a lot in his "magic dream house" at 24 Carrot Ln. I need to get a pic of him sticking his little head out the window!

I love it! Keep him away from cords of any kind. Bite! But of course you must know that.
