Thanks! I was just wondering! I was just going to take them and maybe rehome them, but they are such sweet boys that I want to keep them now! As if i need more animals.
I adopted these two bucks from the local fair because the petting zoo left them. They were free, but when no one took them, i guess they thought they weren't worth taking home.
I just wondered what breed of rabbit they were. They aren't Rexes, because I've had them before and know what their...
Most of my chickens have normal names (Kim, Gertrude, and the such) but occasionally I choose one that is a little more... interesting.
