Please stop posting pictures of fuzzy bunnies and sheep! I promised David we'd only have goats...and chickens....and dogs....and now our kids/3 grandkids are moving in with us in 3 weeks and I promised my granddaughter she could bring her kitten (because you can't suddenly become a homeless kindergartner and have to leave your kitty behind) and the kitty had kittens this morning. And I'm sitting here looking at fuzzy sheep and bunnies thinking "awwwww! maybe if we...." Must. Stop. The. Madness!

Have 3 Harlequin rabbits coming Friday. Buck I wanted died, so she'll replace with another and include a 2nd buck that I originally wanted for free.
Next week I'l meeting her again to pick up 4 Rex.
MsDeb, you might want to avoid this thread, 7 new pictures are coming. But there won't be many of the kit pictures, 2 are dead/gone, 1 warmed back up, so only 3 left. She might end up killing them all and end up dog food herself. Can't stand terrible mom rabbits, she is very friendly herself, but so evil to those poor kits. =/

Three are still in the nest and fed. She tried to rip off the half wall, but it's still there and no kits escaped. She's moody today, too.

Need new batteries for my scale, so no updated weights on the FG this week.

Took pictures of the 4 Rex, it's nice out today. No one really wanted to pose, but that's ok.

The two black kits are actually gold tipped steels, so there's just one black now. Black one is the one that was found near death the other day, full now and eyes are starting to open.

And here are the 3 Harlequins.

They made the Velveteen rabbit breed by crossing Rex and English Lop.
They feel awesome, I love petting them!
I believe it's just Rex, like how sheep is the same as well.

I've decided to try and rehome the two FG, they are in good weight, growing and now I have purebreds again, I'd like to stick with all pure stock. It gets so hard with mutts, sometimes, they are extra sweet or a cool color pops up, then you don't want to eat it.... =/
I have two locals who are interested, hopefully they will take them home.
