I'd love to find homes for Lucien, Kin, Kai, and Lorelei. With Fern and Alice's litters weaned, and four more litters coming up behind them, I need to clean out the grow out pens of bigger bunnies.
I think I'm going to need more rabbit cages soon.

This afternoon we met a nice family that came to look at Fern's babies. It sounds like they came with their eye on Namu-Manu (because face it, he's gorgeous), but once they sat and played with the bunnies for a while, Nairobi picked their son as her new favorite person and cuddled with him for several minutes. A match was made, and Nairobi went home with her new family. Congratulations Nairobi! When I came back in the house to update ads and take Nairobi off the website, I got a message from someone else wanting to come pick Kenny up today. Well sure! I finished up my bunny chores, and #4 and I sat in the front yard with Kenny and waited for his ride to arrive. He's such a sweetheart. Twice he tried to climb up to snuggle into my neck. I trimmed his nails while we sat there. We are set to have another family stop by tomorrow afternoon to visit with bunnies and pick one or two. I think they're interested in Lucien and Mittens, but there's a pretty significant size and age difference there. I am hoping to have several of the bunnies out and available for them to look at and handle. As much as I would love to see Lucien go to a home with kids to love, and for Mittens to be a pet, I also want to set people up for success with their rabbits. Lucien is very mellow, but he's also the smallest buck in the grow-out pen. It may just be that he's got nobody smaller to assert dominance over. And Mittens, missing most of his claws and being only six weeks old, wouldn't last long if Lucien decided to be dominant and acted aggressively toward him. I'm fairly certain I could pair them together and they'd do well for a few weeks, but I worry that with the age and size gap, the window of opportunity to separate when things go wrong will be much smaller than normal. And as anyone who's raised rabbits should know - bucks just can't stay together forever unless they're neutered. Anyway, it'll be nice tomorrow to get lots of bunnies out and about for a meet and greet.
