Update on your bunnies - I picked the 4 that are westward bound up last night and they stayed here with me....2 boys, 2 girls. 1 black boy, 1 white boy, and 2 white girls. They all seem to be in good condition....all skittish, but that's understandable. The black boy appeared to be the most skittish of the bunch.
Overall, they look like they didn't get attacked by the animal the way my Rilo and the doe who went to someone in SE Ohio....only a couple of them have had one or two toes nipped and they're really not bad at all. A couple DID have some balding fur on their hind feet, like the beginnings of sore hocks...but nothing too terrible.
This morning I drove them to the breeder who is keeping them for the week. If something should fall through and we can't get them to MO for a third week in a row, she has no problem keeping them and finding homes for them herself. In fact, she said she has a friend who has been looking for a black NZ. BUT, I told her that I should know definitely by Thursday whether the trip to MO is on!
There are 2 more bunnies who need placement, but I believe I have that covered. The friend of mine who said she'd drive straight to MO with me said she may be able to foster one....and even if she can't, this breeder said she'll have room for both of these bunnies....who I will most likely be getting Monday night and bringing to her Tuesday afternoon.
SOOOOO.....Leaf!!! LOL. What I need you to do is send me directions on where you want to meet up. If you can drive east, even if just an hour east, that would be wonderful. Also, let me know what time so I can try to plan when to leave. I believe it's roughly a 7 hour trip (not adding traffic issues or any of that in...) from Columbus and I'd like to arrange it so that we can arrive in the afternoon. I'm thinking we'll try to leave here by 7 or 8am...which means we'd get in to your area by....2 or 3, roughly? It'll be NEXT SATURDAY 10/27.
And now, the best part of my post...I have pictures of your new babies!! Please do remember that the bunnies are not spayed or neutered (which I'd really like you to promise that they'll be altered....as well as let your friends know it needs done ASAP), so if you decide to take a male/female combo, you'll need to have separate carriers and cages for each. I had no problems with fighting while they were here, so I suspect that wouldn't be an issue should you choose to take both females or both males.
The girls:
The boys (the black one was pretty freaked out....the white boy wasn't as much as it looks like he is in that pic. He was VERY curious):
Sooo....Jessica, just let me know ASAP about what I asked and I can let my friend and the breeder holding these bunnies know what's up. And if anything might change, please let me know as soon as possible so other homes can be found if need be.

You adopted one, another person in Ohio adopted another - I'm taking two, two friends are taking one each and someone is fostering one... which one am I not counting? I'm trying to keep track of it all, but got derailed. Is the breeder who will be housing them temporarily bekeeping one?
......
I can't thank you enough - and next weekend would be wonderful. I'd be able to further transport the one to Springfield that weekend, and the other the following weekend, if not through the week.
