Our two new doe rabbits! Mickey saw them advertised on craigslist, and we picked them up from a farm not too far from here. They seem to be very happy in their new life! and love all the greens. They also seem to enjoy watching the sideshow every morning and evening as the ducks and geese process past the rabbit hutch from their permanent evening pen to their day pen.
We chose the names in keeping with our hobbit theme for rabbits. Sam and Rosie have graduated to a pen that we move around the yard so they can do their own weeding! We have now filled out all three suites in the rabbit hutch.
Mickey chose Mirabelle because he loved her beautiful colors (as soon as I saw her, I knew we were taking her home). Gilly was a similar color to the other bunnies, but the most active and curious, and well, we're suckers for that. :) (That was also the deciding factor for Rosie and Chestnut.)
Gilly even managed to climb nearly to the top of the hutch! They are growing fast. And (not that I don't love our birds, and sheep, and goats, but...) I (Sarah) find the rabbits refreshing because they never complain out loud!
