Hey Pen!
The bunny, sorry Viva is SO CUTE! They are really good to litter train and now you've figured out which corner you should have no problems...we keep Bilbo in our flat and he's brilliant, only ever goes in his litter tray. The main problem with letting them roam free is that they do just like to nibble things...electrical cables are popular - our rabbit we had in HK (Casper) used to frequently stop our washing machine from working by eating through all the cables except the live one...I wonder how he figured it out! Anyway, Bilbo's the same, so we do have to keep him out of bedrooms and the living room as this would be like going to the funfair with all the wires for tv's etc etc!
Food wise you need to give them lots of hay and green veggie - we usually buy green cabbage leaf, the dark stuff is good, and also things like Curly Cale. Herbs are also good but I find I can't grow them fast enough!! Bilbo LOVES Parsley and Casper used to love mint as well so you could try that. The fruit and carrots are good but quite sweet so should be kept as treats...we often give Bilbo the carrot peel when we cook them for dinner. Hay is a must as it will help them grind their teeth so they won't get too long and also make sure there's a stick or block of wood they can nibble on for fun and to keep their teeth healthy.
I think that's it...very easy animals to look after generally...yes...the adolecent thing! Is Viva a girl or boy? We had to give Bilbo a certain operation to get him to be less excitable by Ryan's legs!! They can also get agressive eventually if they can't find a mate so we thought it best to get doen before that happened. He's much better now and such a playful friendly rabbit...loves attention and wants to know who's visiting 'his' house and what's going on!!
Hope you enjoy it!

Well, Pip, we've also got a 'pet' like yours, or rather, like one you used to have. That is, we've got a s/h Ford Focus for Marie Rose as the Citroen has such a lot of niggly things going on it. The last straw was a rear windscreen winder which broke, so now the glass has got to be stuck closed with duct tape.
The new car (we hope to get it on Thurs.) is a bright yellow Focus with a 1.8l engine. It is a limited edition Millennium Edition version, with leather seats and a/c and is about 7 years old. If you know anything about this that we shouldn't get it let us know before we sign the contract for it on Monday (24th)!
Just had some moon cake for breakfast, which See Sum gave us when we saw her on Wednesday. Does anyone know what's in moon cake? I know there's egg yolk, but is the grey-brown pasty stuff made from almonds?
