The weather is turning a lot cooler and Miel his fur is changing. He feels very soft but looks unkempt. I try to get the old, loose fur out but Miel doesn’t like it. If I try to long he tries for a nip.
Miel is changing into his winter fur, which is strangely enough turning out a brownish hue. I haven’t taken his picture yet. He is probably enjoying his last days of freedom outside. I don’t think I let him roam free in the winter. Nina and Keira are starting to get along. They spend time each evening when I bring Nina inside to play. So far it’s a show of mutual interest and reserve. Keira and Miel will be a more difficult match, since Keira is intimidated by Miel and Miel is to stupid to know that hissing isn’t a friendly gesture…

“I can disapprove with the best of them!”
Hi everyone and welcome to this blog, I’m Femke: Miel’s human. We live in Ghent, Belgium (the city the Flemish Giants breed was created). Miel has been my rabbit since August 3, 2007. I also have 3 other pets. Nina, who I got in March. She’s a Dutch breed rabbit. Compared to Miel she is tiny. To compare: Miel weights 6,5 kg and Nina weights about 1 kg. Rosa and Maya are 2 guinea pigs I got in April 2008 as companions for Filoe. Filoe I got at the same time as Miel. Unfortunately Filoe had a mysterious illness and he died in November 2008. I still miss him, he was such a good natured little guy.
We live in a flat with garden. The pets have their own pad in the gardenshed. During the day they roam in the garden, except for Nina who diggs holes. Nina runs free in the flat several hours a day instead. Since we live here Miel has blossomed. He enjoys the freedom and space. No plant is safe from him!
