And Sassy is eating out of the blue bowl, instead of her pink one :shock:
It’s because whichever bowl I set down first her snout is in it eating before I even set it down and let go.

Stevie’s babies are still nursing too but not as much. I walked in last night on her feeding them all :) it looked so funny because of how big they are.

The white one is out today in full force romping around and playing . The others are even jumping on top of their hutches already! They don’t seem too scared of me at all. They know I’m the food bearer already.

They're all too cute! I love the little bunny tails!
@Ricky Vapes are you going to introduce the two sets of babies to each other?
Eventually. Probably through a barrier first. Put their pens together outside.I just really hope I can still give some to the SPCA. I’ve got
My hands full as you can see.

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
He is an absolute treat. My BIL just had back surgery, so Ike has been hanging with me more over the past few weeks. He waits outside every chicken shed's gate for me, usually asleep :wub:

When Billy (pic below) came up to him and licked his head once, Ike jumped ten feet in the air. I nearly dropped a box of eggs from laughing so hard at them ;)

this pic reminds me of bottle feeding calves. some stranger showed up at our farm and took a pic of me taking care of the calves,, then several months later returned with a painting of me feeding the calves. Mom hung it up in the living room,, 1 day she asked me if i wanted it,, I'm not very sentimental,, I told her no,, give it to goodwill. about a year later I was thinking about that painting,, visited Mom soon after,, I actually had great relief she didn't toss the painting. I told her,, yes i want it,, when you are gone. ....... i know why i didn't want it at the time she asked,, now i dont know why i do want it,, but i do.

Well I found a pet shop that was happy to take some Stevie babies. I gave her two and if this other woman from my work doesn’t take one I’ll let her have a third one.

I was tearing up a bit leaving these two little boys behind but I know it’s for the best. She really knows her stuff and showed me how to sex them. She will even take some of Sassys when they get big enough. Better than finding random people to give them too.

She is really happy and wants to take one home too. It also brings in more business to her shop during these hard times without much foot traffic to come into her store.

Good morning Chatter's

I know it's for the best all around but I will miss seeing all the babies growing up. Glad you are keeping a couple Ricky.
Yes we did see them grow up though and don’t forget we have Sassys too. Still have 3 of Stevie’s litter too. We can still watch them grow up. Might be getting rid of one of them still. But definitely keeping junior and at least one Stevie lookalike.

This way I can name the ones or one I keep too. It was hard saying good bye to them they loved me and I loved them. But I’m happy to make someone nice happy. The pet store is hit hard by this covid stuff and she definitely loved them as soon as she held them and snuggled them. I know they won’t be going to someone who just wants them for meat. They will be loved.

They have a bigger pen to go play in too in the store so they arnt just in a little cage. I left them their favourite foods and hay too.

Just saying hi and I MUST have the small white bunny may I?

Oh to @chanelvaps who lectured me on miniature donkeys a while back? I have no clue if you are around? Why on EARTH would I say, "I would need to go find out Douglas's laws on animal husbandry etc., before I got one" if I was intending to go out and BUY one? Like for kicks?

I have owned COUNTLESS animals through the years, including 3 horses. Nice, expensive ones. WHEN I discovered that a toddler and two horses were too much work, I DONATED them to a horse rescue because I wanted them to go to good homes. One did. He was adorable, an old school horse, bombproof and adorable and his school teacher mommy ADORED him.

The second was kept by the place as the lady in charge felt she was too "beautiful to give up." So she kept her for herself. I warned her "Be prepared for her to buck, seriously at ANY time." The first thing that horse did was buck her off, it was an AWESOME talent she had, like, impressive in fact. She had this nasty twisty buck, either direction. The lady called me to say she got bucked off and broke her tailbone, but too horse people who like, well, do that kind of stuff, it's more of an amusing tale than anything else. You had to get bucked off a few times to figure out how to sit it.

However no I DO NOT need lectures on my wants vs needs, thanks so very much especially when it comes to LIVESTOCK. I'd have to put up shelter for one, that takes time to build.

Oy.

Still WANT the bunny though but not need.
