Bunny Friends

Since we got Einstein, we were looking at expanding the farm and getting Einstein some little girl friends.

Rabbits are social creatures and need friends, so we thought it was a good idea to get some friends for him, and if so, we should start having them earn their keep.

We found a family in Polvadera that raises rabbits, so we were able to get 2 rabbits for $5 each. They are about 6-7 weeks old. It will be a while before they are able to breed, breeding age is about 6 months.

They are still pretty jumpy, so it is hard to get a picture of them without Einstein.

I wanted to get some of their younger ones so that hopefully I can get them a little more domesticated. Einstein is very friendly, so I am hoping it will rub off on these 2. The grey tipped is Penelope and we don't have a name for the brown one yet. I decided on Fredrick, but i was vetoed.

Right now, the bunnies are being kept in one of our broody boxes. We thought 3 would be too many in the living room, so they got kicked outside. They will soon get a hutch/run of their own. We are currently debating about design plans.
