Naturestee's Foster Family

[naturestee]

LOL at the Brangelina comment. Maureen I keep telling you that you should move over here!

NEWSFLASH: Litter #2 are opening their eyes already!!! They're only nine days old!

One of the blacks might be a rex but it's too soon to tell. At this stage he just might not be growing fur as quickly.

And if you gentlypush Zappa's ears all they way down they stay there for a while.

I love all of the new pics!!! How long did you have to let them play before you were able to get those shots? They look so calm, but I know better because I saw them in action....I would be so surprised if the shelter did not get calls within a week of posting them on Petfinder. They are too cute for words...

So cute! Zappas ears are so adorable!

Congrats on all the healthy babies, Angela. Youre doing a phenominal job!

 

[naturestee]

Myheart, actually I just plucked them up out of the cage and plunked them down on the couch, then started taking pictures before they could get their bearings.:biggrin2:

I really hope the adoptions pick up. I heard there were a couple more rabbits brought to the shelter and all the regular cages are full. More and they have to start stacking cruddy pet store cages in the aisle again.:?

Glamour shots indeed!!

Please, Mr. Landlord, can't I have just one more? (the lease says 2 btw and we have 3, wanting to get a 4th big girl to be Benji's soulmate) He's so cute! and I promise I'd clean the apartment well!:innocent

Omg! I sooooooo want Zappa..... it kills me that I'm too far away to have him! I just love his curly ears!!
:inlove::inlove::inlove::inlove:

I have to agree with mouse_chalk! Those ears are killing me . LOVE IT!

Looks like the new babies are going to be a handful. Not only are their eyes open early (for the larger two anyway), but the larger ones are also coming out of the nest box already! Then they can't get back in. At least they seem big and furry enough that I shouldn't have to worry about them getting too cold. Boogers.

And the two smaller ones are both looking like rexes to me. I wonder if they'll be curly like Corea?

 

[Raspberry82]

Hehe. Aww.. uh oh . Boogers, indeed.

I have lots of pictures, I just haven't downloaded and resized them yet.

Zappa and his siblings are gone. I brought them back to the shelter on Saturday so I wouldn't have to worry about them reinfecting the younger babies through the cage bars. For those that missed it, Jazzy, all her babies, and a bunch of adult rabbits at the shelter that she had come in with are all carrying/infected with syphilis. That's why Zappa got sick, we just weren't 100% sure of the cause till babies in the second litter started getting the same symptoms. The older babies will allbe treated now.

I miss them. I'm really upset that I can't choose who adopts them like I would if I had been fostering them for Soulmate Rabbit Rescue. I visited them today and they're still fairly nervous being in such a scary place. But they are eating, pooping, and playing. In the good news, Billie and Basie are lopping! One is 100% lopped, the other is mostly there. That's just been in the last few days.

I took my last pictures of them on Saturday as I put them in crates to take back. I'll try to get those pictures up soon.

I saw the pictures of the babies on Petfinder. Kind of makes me sad to see them posted because I know they were in such good care with you. Prayers that they will will find good, caring people who will cherish them. ray:

Please keep us posted...

myheart

 

[Haley]

Aww thats so sad that they are gone But at least they got to have such good care with you and hopefully now they will all find wonderful homes.

Did Zappa end up being a boy for sure?

 

[Mr. Stee]

Well. I can't complain about the crowded, bunny ladened, allergy filled house anymore for a while. I was the instigator for the temporary fostering of a pair of orphaned babies for a couple that live in our city. They are going to be a handfull alright. They were pretty under weight and in need of alot of attention. The couple didn't know what to do so they called the humane society for help who in turn called us. They will go back to the couple when they are healthy and eating solids. To read about the start of it and to see first pictures go here
