No contact what so ever, he said he didn't work outside his 'farm' and he passes by my place often to get to town.
Can only hope he shows up or stops by to explain what's going on.

Yup, still nothing. So many people stop by and say they will come back later in the week with cash and never show....people are terrible creatures. =/
Anyway.
Caught my two freeranging/runaway rabbits, could of left them out longer to the end of fall, but decided not to.
Caged my remaining guinea pigs, 3 escaped the day before I was planing to put them up. =/
Then I found two running free from two+ months ago! And also discovered one sow had gotten bred before she was captured. She had 3 healthy pups the night I put them in the cage! Talk about perfect timing! So now there's 1 little sow free and the two I saw from two months ago. DH is going to help me catch them tomorrow.

Had to cull the SF buck.
Rex doe is due....at some point.
Got two starved and neglected flemish giants. No clue on age, lady couldn't keep her story straight, couldn't even bother to feed and water...So 1yr, 10mo or heck, they could be just 4mo old, we'll never know!

But whatever!
The FG pair are doing well, eating like hogs, drinking like camels and seem happy. Will have to get new pics of them, but it's been raining all week and cold! Ick!

Those Flems are so adorable! I can't believe people get animals and don't even take care of them. It's like 'What did you expect? Them to get their own food?!' The way I explain to my sibings is, we are their guardian and we are the only way they can survive.

Based on their weight and size (and adding in a bit of a growth stunt due to neglect) I would put them in the 6-8 month range.

Buck is nothing but skin and bone, doe had some more muscle on her, but you could still feel bones easily. They look like they should be 10#.
Hopefully they can grow out of it at least somewhat.
Yea, lady had one of those expensive veterinary 6 block stainless steel housing, but couldn't be bothered with the rabbits....

When you have animals, they are totally dependent on you for food, water and shelter. They get cared for no matter if it is raining, cold, hot, whether you feel like it or not. If you can't care for them, do as this lady did and find them a better home. Or better yet, just don't get them to start with. :somad

Pics from this morning. Don't mind buck weight, he's at 8.33# after a long day of eating! Which means the doe is probably a bit more, too.
Will wait a month before weighing them again, seems like right now, all they are doing is gorging themselves and not muscle growth just yet.
