New Name, New Varieties

Bunny FuFu now has the name Fiona, a much more regal name for a house pet, I'd say. She's settled in well, except you shouldn't trust a kid with a bunny even if you think they know what they're doing. Bunny pee in kid's bed and a chewed up iPad cord! Lessons learned the hard way. Bunnies must be watched at all times and if you want to play with them, you have to bunny proof the space they're played with in. I suppose KK thought rabbits were just magical creatures after being around Basil, a litter trained bunny that was always played with in a bunny proof room. Everyone learned something. In the least, Fiona is easy to herd back into her cage and has been generally quite the good pet insofar. Very affectionate. I wish there were rabbit hopping competitions here, she'd do well at them. Push her feet and she flies, put something in front of her and she'll jump over it. She also might walk well on a leash, but we haven't attempted much in that area.

I'm hopefully going to purchase a REW doe to be placed in the new hutch after the wire, water proofing over nest box, and cinder blocks allow the hutch to become complete and not WIP. This will mean I will be breeding for black, blue, castor, opal, BEW, and REW. I figure mixing the lines would allow REW Viennas and BEWs, both showable. There's also the potential of a tricolor doe, which would be great to be bred for more tris with my buck, Basil. We'll see what comes, but I'm excited for the hopeful expansion. It would also mean three litters in two months, rather than just two.

All in all? It's been a good time for rabbits. Anwen's wounds from mistreatment are healed and she's doing well being inside, just as Basil has transferred to outside life easily. I cannot wait until Fiona is done with quarantine so Primrose and her can have play dates.
