Well so much has happened since I last updated!
Lucy rabbit had to be put to sleep as she had cancer, she was suffering so it was the kindest thing to do. My two boys (2 & 3) were really upset and didn't quite grasp the concept that she wasn't coming home.
Three weeks later and I noticed that Lola wasn't eating as she usually did. I took her to the vet and she had a chest infection and a tummy full of gas. That night I brought her home and nursed her with water and liquid food. Next day she was no better so it was back to the vet. On closer inspection he also found spurs on her teeth, so she was admited and had them filed down. Lots more nursing with liquid food and water followed and she seemed to be picking up on the bank holiday monday. Then that night she died in her hutch.......
So I am down to 4 bunnies now! Charlie is loving the extra attention and has become quite a mummys boy! While Lola was poorly he had to live in the run in the garden as I didn't have any hutch space available. The weather was good and he loved it!
This photo was takenthe week before Lola died, she isloving the freedom with her babies.
Losing a bunny so young is really sad.
The babies are 6 weeks old now!!!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone and how big they all are!
This is Katie, she is sooo cute! I love her to bits already.Katie has a small frame more likeLola than Charlie. She also looks likeshe willhave a Lionhead mane! She is very inquisitive, and just loves a cuddle!
She has been offered about 3 homes so far and my answere is always NO! Her namesake has just left for Bulgaria....:bigtears:We have been friends for 8 years and I miss her already.......
This is Pebble! We still don't know the sex of pebble, even the vet couldn't tell, its very odd! I will post pics of his/her bits and you can all take a look LOL!
Pebble is just like mum and dad in colour! He/she is quite shy and gets a bit stressy if the other babies are not with him/her.
This is Snowy. She is the largest of the babies. She is always busy, busy, busy.
I love them all to bits!
I've just ordered a larger hutch for them (the one mentioned further up never arrived!) so I just need to decide who lives with who! So far it's Snowy and Katie together as they are both girls (I will have them both spayed) but I feel really sorry to leave pebble alone......would three bunnies live together? Obviuosly we need to find out what sex he/she is first!
And last but by no means least Charlie! He is in a right grump this morning! I went to stroke him and he nipped my finger!!!! Cheeky boy! Look at the state of his hutch! He is soo messy, he does his business in his litter box then he tips it up...ullhair:
He spends every day in the run and he can't tip the cat box, but he does move everything else he can! Then he goes to bed in the hutch every night, clean when he goes in and a mess every morning.....bit like my boys rooms really! LOL
So thats my bunnies to date! Charlie, Katie, Snowy and Pebble. Binky free at the bridge Lola and Lucy....
I spotted an orange lop doe for sale at the breeder....sooooo tempted! Her name is Sindy........at Tor view lops......
I am thinking about it!She is approx 12 months oldso I wouldhave her spayed straight away. The vethas cost a fortune this month alreadyso I think hubby would have a heart attackif I brought another home! I am a bit sad though I hate even numbers! 5 is much better than 4 don't you think??
