My Other 2 Babies

[Hop.And.Skip]

Apart from my 18 month old son, I have 2 gorgeous rabbits (my son calls them dogs).

Gwen was got from a family that were moving and couldnt take her with them. She is a 2.5 year old French lop, pure black and pure mental! We got gwen on friday 28th August 2009, she hasnt been with us long but shes brought us alot of joy already.

She loves nothing more than stretching out fully in the run and nibbling at the grass. She is very tempermental, absolutely loves our son but she isnt very fond of adults. She now lets me stroke her head and lift her, I will have muscles in no time!

Jack is our rescued english lop buck, ive been so busy today that I didnt manage to get a picture of him, but I will tomorrow. Hes badly underweight and while gwen can easily get away from me when I try to lift her, Jack has no real strength to do so.

We only got Jack on the 11th September 2009, he is a gorgeous brown and white rabbit. Already he has captured all our hearts. Our son calls him Me-Me, he points at the rabbits and says 'Mine'.

Tomorrow I will get pictures up of both of them, my goal is to put pictures up of Jack in a few months, to show a totally different rabbit.

Neither of these rabbits have ever tasted grass before, ive made a promise to them both and its one that I can easily keep no matter what - they will both have a forever loving home.

Jack & Gwen xxxx

PS If your wondering about the names, we are all huge Torchwood fans and they were named after the 2 main characters from it. Sad, I know, but we like to be different lol.

Gwen in a huff, she was enjoying a snooze when I disturbed her :X

Posing! She really loves it when I bring the camera out.

Jack xx, he doesnt look so bad in this picture but can assure you he is underweight! We couldnt put gwen and him in the same run together so we had to do a make shift one (old dog crate upside down!). We managed to connect his hutch to it and he loves it. Though likes to pull some of his straw bedding out lol.

Jack again :inlove:

My husband and I are working hard on getting 2 large hutches and runs built. We have tried different places to get a large 6ft hutch for each of them, but to no avail. Also the runs available seem to cater more for the smaller rabbits.

Our side garden is fully sealed off, everyday we go out and let them run about (freedom), they arent out together though. Today Jack went to see Gwen in her run, she wasnt to happy and started growling at him lol.

I love to sit out and watch them run about, Jack and Gwen will stretch out and let our son pet them. If I go near them they run lol.

Thank you, love them to bits. Its amazing how quickly they learn things!

I feed them at 8am and 8pm everyday, they are always sitting waiting at those times. Jack is putting weight on slowly.

Yesterday I let Jack run around the whole garden, it was the first time I seen him run and give a little skip in the air.

Gwen isnt nesting anymore but still gives off if you try to pet her!
