This I believe is a my last few bunnies to introduce, Misty who is 13 weeks old and her two siblings who should be going to their forever homes soon. I call them thing one and thing two. And then my newest baby who I need a good name for. Got any ideas??

So Rocky has been kept in our home. I see that your Rabbits are outside. Do you have any issues with predators? I had an outside rabbit once in an Amish built hutch(very sturdy), and a pair of dogs got out of their yard and managed to get to my rabbit. Maybe I had a false sense of security and should have taken more/better precautions. I am genuinely curious what you guys do.

So my rabbit hutches are in my chicken pen. I’ll show pictures in a minute. So as of now no issues. And my chicken wire is nailed into some of my hutches to keep the wire up.

Need rabbit names? How about: Pansy? Coco? Lilly?
I'll suggest more soon.

Wow, that's a nice set up. I am glad you don't have issues with predators. Good luck with your babies.

I’d like a name that means survivor or something like that because out of eight babies he was the only one to survive.

Ok - I'll think.

Update on the baby bun! He or she is doing fantastic! It is very jumpy but I think that’s because it doesn’t have litter mates that wiggle around in the nest so he he needs a lot more handling time then my other babies.

Just had to share this bunny picture of Maple (mom) and Viva (kit) she is a girl!! And is so sweet!

That’s horrible! I can’t believe that people just ditch their bunnies!! It makes me so sad. Someone had ditched a bunny awhile ago and my neighbor caught it and put it in my one hutch but he was super aggressive I had to get rid of him.

Most domesticated rabbits do not have the skills or instincts to survive in the wild. Most die within days or weeks due to starvation or predation. It is very irresponsible. If someone can no longer care for thier pets it would be optimal to find a new home or rescue. I know many rescues are at capacity, and quarantining them is probably not optional.

It’s so wrong! I don’t understand how anyone can ditch any animal with out thinking! There are plenty of other options then ditching!
