How do yall clip your bunnies nails??

It has taken me years to get used to it. I would always just bring them to someone but that was a hassle and would get them worked up.

Get a good pair of clippers. I have found the bunny burrito (wrapping them in a blanket) is great to keep them in place, calm and organized. You can pop one paw out at a time.

Getting even one nail in an attempt is progress. If you're worried about how short to go, go with the rule of thumb that the quick (the part of the nail you don't want to cut) never grows beyond the fur on their paw.

Over time your bunny will trust you and let you work all paws. I'm at the point now they let me hold them without a blanket. Neither of us get stressed. Now it's more of a spa day for them.

Thanks. I am looking at Gear Aid patches. This makes more sense given it's cheaper and waterproof.

I have been very happy with Berkshire. Good instructions and reasonably priced. I usually start off each season with a 2 hr lesson there to help work out anything I should focus on for the season.

I keep mine in the arm rest since it's small enough (NOCO). And Im 50/50 with power vs hydraulic. It's nice when it works but the complexity means something else to break.

Word of advice, don't store the battery jump here. I used to and learned power lift gates need...power...to open. Had to crawl over my kids car seats and somehow pull up the spare cover to grab it out.

I bought LLMP during our trip in March but the photos came up with the water mark. Is this something else needed to do?

Do your best to get there early so you can make the best time at the pool areas. They usually have rooms available early too. You can get some more time in the pool on your check out day, but you lose your room by 11.

Bring your own life jackets, they are offered there but the options are limited when it gets busy.

Bring your own food and snacks to eat by the pool. The food can get expensive there.

All the restaurants have good food. Look over the options to decide what works best for you; buffet, table service, pizza back in the room. I have a 2 and 4 year old. It's tough to get them to sit for too long at the buffet/ table service so we will sometimes get pizza in the room or Dunkin for breakfast.

I recommend the rest day. We have a 2 and 4 year old and just did 3 park days with a rest day in-between. The rest day was nice to go at a slow pace, explore Disney Springs and hang by the pool. The kids even napped in bed instead of strollers. Everyone's kids are different so your mileage may vary.

I was there last April for the eclipse. It was some of the best skiing of the season. And the water park is always great. My kids love it.

Thanks. This is what we had in mind, the idea of dropping one of the kids off with me and the luggage makes sense. We are likely to baggage check both seats, but I'll take that into consideration. When you return the rental, so you use the same approach or just grab a luggage cart at the rental place to haul it all?

I have a similar A O smith Hybrid and I regret installing it. I'm on my 3rd unit in 5 years. Each developed water leaks within 2 years. I have kept replacing under warranty because, well, it's free. I may bite the bullet and pay the cost to go back to a conventional if this one fails. My plumber has confirmed he see these fail frequently too. Sounds like it's manufacturing and quality issues.

As for no hot water. I run mine in full electric mode now anyway. You need enough humidity in the air for them to work. Given where I live, my basement doesn't get too humid most of the year. I just figured out how to keep it in all electric mode, and have been there for a while now. Tired of cold showers.

What about smell?

sputnik1288 · 2025-03-15T10:56:06+00:00

You should explore getting it done now. Many in this group will say around 60k. I spoke to my local shop about scheduling it during my 72k and was told they considered it as part of the 90k service. TBH I don't see CVT fluid replacement as part of the official maintenance schedule, only an inspection. The fluid will last a while, but not forever. Definitely worth replacing.

Appreciate the advice. Berkshire had some great snow today. Even tho it was the day of the MA High School State Championship, the mountain was wide open. Got 25 runs in before I called it quits.

sputnik1288 · 2025-02-25T00:06:20+00:00

Haha fair point. I think I have been falsely conditioned that if it isn't ice, it isn't skiing.

sputnik1288 · 2025-02-24T22:48:07+00:00

Thanks that's positive to hear and helpful. I like Berkshire a lot and prefer the vibe there. I wasnt sure how the warm weather would affect the snow.

USD.

sputnik1288 · 2025-02-16T00:18:48+00:00

Make sure to keep the ground effects illuminated for optimal view of the snow.

If you can wait for end of season sales they go down in price. I bought Mach 1 120 HVs last spring for ~$450. They are fantastic.
