Hi there, my name is Hadyn. My fiancee Joanna and I have 2 lovely rabbits, Babbity and Tweak. RO has been an excellent resource that we have referred to often in learning how to be the best bunny parents we can be.
Babbity is an eight month old Flemish Giant/New Zealand White cross, and little Tweak is her daughter and is at 7 weeks old.
Here's the story so far of Babbity and little Tweak.
Babbity had spent most of her life locked away in a lonely hutch in a pet store parking lot, and was being encouraged to breed. We regularly visited her while agonising if we should take her home. She fell pregnant at the store and gave birth to a small litter of 3 adorable bunnies, and shortly after, Joanna and I decided that when the bunnies were old enough, we would adopt Babbity.
Unfortunately when we came by to visit one day, she was missing, and we were told she had escaped during the night. It was a very sad day as we thought we wouldn't ever see her again. A few days later we stopped by the store once more to see how her litter was getting on, & low and behold, Babbity was back! It turned out she was found and brought back by some school kids. Then and there we paid for her, and after her babies were weaned, she came to live with us.
Five days after bringing Babbity home (and after watching some very suspicious nest building behaviour going on), we awoke to find that she had given birth to 2 more bunnies (a mere 5 weeks after her first litter, despite the store saying that they had removed the buck after she initally fell pregnant). Unfortunately one baby appeared to have been stillborn which was very sad, but the second was alive and well, buried deep in the very impressive nest that Babbity had lovingly built.
Seven Weeks later, both rabbits are doing just fine, they are very friendly with each other. They spend most of their day flooped beside one another in a snuggle, they kiss and lick each other, and in the evenings come alive with lots of energy and they hop and play around with plenty of happy binkies (particularly from Tweak).
Joanna and I look forward to meeting you all and being a part of this great community!

Its so sweet that mommy and daughter love each other so. It would be about time to start shopping for a vet to spay Babbity so the loving relationship can continue. Tweak can be spayed after 4 months. There both darling.
