Lea going to Rabbit Haven

this weekend. It will be sad to see her go. She is such an incredible rabbit! We have never had such a friendly bun around. She is like a dog. Comes running to you, follows you around and LOVES attention. The plan is to bond her with a lonely male lop, so she pretty much already has a new home. I hope the bonding goes well and I hope to get updates.

The other 2 rescues will need some work. They really don't like being petted, but I have been trying. If plans work out they will go to Seattle Animal Shelter this weekend (after we drop off Lea).

progress

Had a little progress with the 2 rescues this morning. The black and white one (spot) is very shy/scared. Pretty much has just been sitting in the back of the cage. This morning they both came up to me when I had veggies. AND I pet both of them when they were eating! Yeah! I hope they get friendlier. The shelter doesn't want them if they are unfriendly. (Yikes, then what will I do?!)
Here they are from this morning. (Please disregard the cage, it's all I have.)
My guess is that they are young and may be siblings. The black one has a bit of brown and is just beautiful! Even has the cutest little cowlick on the bridge of his nose (camera won't pick it up).

and we have 9

Yes, 9 rabbits.

A coworker caught 2 rabbits in her yard last night. She has seen them around the neighborhood for the last week. After she caught them she went around the neighborhood to see if someone would claim them. No one did. So she called me and brought them over.

They are beautiful buns. Look healthy, but I haven't handled them. One is really scared. It's been 24 hours and she is still pretty freaked out, she didn't even eat her veggies tonight because she stays in one corner. The other has relaxed a bit.

I already have a call to a shelter that I hope will take them.

Believe it or not it's the black and white one that is really scared, I was lucky to get a picture of her eating some pellets. Took the pic outside when my friend first brought them over, but they are inside now.

The Buns from Houseful of Buns!

Bun Sitting: Night 2.

Savannah did NOT want me to pick her up tonight. But I did.

Chico did NOT want to go out this morning. So he didn't. But I had no problem bring him in last night.

Racer did NOT want to go out this morning. But I made him anyway.

Winston REALLY DID NOT want to go in last night or out this morning. But I made him anyway.

I think they did want to go in or out, they just don't like being picked up, espically by a stranger. So no hard feelings, right guys?
Maybe I need to get some craisins....

Bun sitting

OK, first night at Houseful of Rabbits went well. I brought every bun in and put them in their correct pens. Hubby helped with feeding, etc. Didn't bring the camera, maybe tomorrow.

The lop eared bun is a

GIRL! So Lea it is!

I spoke with Angie at Rabbit Haven and I will be taking Lea there. Rabbit Haven is full, but they mostly have male rabbits, and are in need of female rabbits for bonding. Might make the road trip next weekend.

New Foster Bun!

Picked up this little sweetie 2 weeks ago from the Humane Society. Not sure if it's a boy or girl. Will take him in this week to find out. He relaxed after 24 hours, and after 3 days felt completely comfortable to run around the kitchen, bink and flop. Super nice bun and great personality.
THEN at the end of the week I pet sit for Houseful of Rabbits http://houseofrabbits.blogspot.com/. I'm so excited. I have extra duties this time too-wish me luck!

Here is lop eared foster bun. If it's a girl she will be named Lea. If it's a boy he will be named Leo (after the children's book Leo the Lop. Yes, I had that book.)
