Marilyn Bunroe and her babies - A little family rescued from death row

[Marietta]

What a beautiful - and photogenic!!!- family! They are all so lovely! And it's obvious that they are loved and spoilt rotten! I have a soft spot about these little bunnies, I'm the mom of a lovely dwarf hotot boy and I really can't take my eyes off your photos.

I was 3 for 3 with sexing the babies! Shasta is a girl, Denali and Lassen are boys. Five weeks old today, time is really flying by.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

:shock:I can't believe it's been 5 weeks! I love them tho... any homes lined up yet?

 

[osprey]

Someone has expressed a strong interest in Shasta already. We are telling people at least 3 more weeks before they are adoptable, to give them a full time with mom before they are weaned.

Aw, i was secretly hoping that someone would take all three together. If, owned a home i would of.

That just made my day

Little bunnies binkying and playing..... ahhhh so cute!


They look really healthy and pretty!

I can't help but think back to the situation you saved them from..... it makes me sick that had you not been there, they might not be here.

I can't think of anything cuter than a baby bunny!! I wish I could have seen Sparky and Scooter when they were little (although I don't think Sparky was ever little, lol).

 

[naturestee]

OMG they just keep getting cuter! Little baby Sprites and Feys!

 

[osprey]

Marilyn was quite miffed that the babies got to be stars and she was not included, so we did a video of Marilyn too. The soundtrack is "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant, because it is a wonder that she survived and managed to raise her little family. You can see the video on YouTube here [ame]http://youtube.com/watch?v=MJv8cH3y05k[/ame]

I think she's beautiful!

That's some serious chinning she does! The first "box chinning" made me laugh out loud - she almost fell over!

 

[osprey]

Yeah, it is pretty much "that's mine" and "oh yeah, this is mine too" and "hey, this is mine mine mine". She also loves tunnels, which you can get a small glimpse of in the video.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Yeah - she likes that long box! that's the one I think she chins alllll alonggggggg the sideeeeeeee...... LOL!

How adorable!

I think someone really likes ear rubs too!

I love the set up you have for Marilyn - and she obviously loves playing in it. She really is such a sweet little girl. How wonderful to see her enjoying life to the full

What a cute video. She's a real sweet bunny. She looks very young. Do you know how old she is?

I really must make one of those tunnels out of some boxes, they look like fun for the bunnies.

That long skinny box with the three holes in it is one of the containers that FedEx ships packing tubes in. I taped the ends so it does not collapse, and the buns like to use it as a tunnel. The other boxes are just hay boxes with windows and doors cut into them.

We think Marilyn is quite young, probably around 7 months now. As my wife says, she was too young to spay, but not too young to get pregnant.

Do you do all the vidoes for the Rabbit Haven? I couldn't help but watch a few of them - I loved the one about "Adopt a Bunny" - the music was just so great....I think it was that one...

There are four of us that make various videos for The Rabbit Haven. Our shelter advocate at one of the shelters does videos for all of her rabbits and guinea pigs, and she posts on YouTube under the account "ca490". Two of our volunteers do the slide shows of our adoptable and adopted bunnies that are on YouTube, and I do all of the music video type clips of individual bunnies or groups of bunnies. I did the "Adopt a Rabbit Today" video that you mentioned, I am glad that you enjoyed it. The music is "Happy Adoption Day" by John McCutcheon, which is very appropriate. That is the first video that I made, I had no idea what I was doing at the time. The videos are painful to do well, I lack the patience to go scene by scene and make modifications. I threw together a video of the last litter we fostered and called it "Baby Bunnies". It has gotten over 40,000 views on YouTube! People love to watch baby animals I guess.
