I've been thinking about the past year's accomplishments. I think we fostered more critters than we ever have before in one year. I know we definitely worked harder at fostering than we did ever before, hand raising seven kittens from when they were a week old is something I'll likely never have time to do [...]
Nelly and her babies have all been adopted out to new homes! Thank you to everyone who helped spread the word.
This morning we took Nelly and her babies to the shelter! They were checked over by health wing staff who were pleased to be able to examine such calm bunnies. These rabbits are definitely well socialized and will make great pets!
We now know the sexes as well, and they were surprising: [...]
The bunnies are eight weeks old today and are ready for adoption!
Nelly: adult female rabbit, the mother. She is friendly and enjoys ear scritches, but like most bunnies she needs to get to know you first. She is a great bunny and would make a wonderful pet.
(We’re not quite sure which of [...]
This morning when I checked on the bunnies, most of them ran up to the cage door to greet me. Nick, Nibbler and Nubbin have all learned that humans bring treats! Nodwick lounged in the back of the cage, sniffing around and wondering what the fuss was about. Then he noticed that [...]
I finally took my “good camera” down to take pictures. (I’d lost the battery charger for it when we moved, whoops.) I was able to take pictures more quickly, and even caught bunnies in mid-leap! Of course that means I took more pictures too, so I finally broke down and put them [...]
Nick and Nibbler have both caught on to the idea that humans are the source of treats. Nick is definitely the boldest bunny, and yesterday we discovered that he was bold in ways other than just begging for treats.
Nick was chasing Nodwick around, attempting to “play with” Nodwick more in the way of [...]
I never thought that I’d be excited about new flooring, but it’s so easy now to sweep up after the bunnies. We finally got the flooring in our foster room changed from carpet to vinyl, with a “backsplash” a few inches up the walls. The vinyl is a bit textured so that the babies can [...]
Are they ever growing quickly!
We had a friend come and visit with his teenage girls. The babies were a bit tentative at first, but soon enough they were racing around and bouncing and eating treats. (Note, only alfalfa or hay based treats, they don’t get fruit or veggies until [...]
The babies are three weeks old now and growing like weeds! I promise more pictures very soon.
One big step was discovered today… little baby sized poops! Until now Nelly was cleaning her babies herself, now they are “doing their business” on their own. Of course, until they learn to keep it [...]
