Same here. And now we have the humidity for the next month or two.

I know right. I'm in Georgia and a friend of mine moved here from Ohio last spring and asked me how we cope with the 80-100% humidity. I told her we are born with gills that self activate in April. Lol.

Too Funny! Those of us living in the AZ desert often hear or say "it's a dry heat". We are just speechless during July and August or Out Of Town.

OK i need to build my rabbits a new set up... What should i do for winter( I'm in New York) I have them in my chicken coop now ( no chickens in there) . I would like to build them a little "house " with a attached run. But worried it will be to cold for them... Any advice??

I have three bunnies the best breed I have found especially with kids is the mini lop. We just got a little buck "snowy" he is the most beautiful, cuddly, friendly little animal. We keep him inside at night and he has the outdoor pen during the day! It's so cold here ATM and I can't imagine putting him out at night. Red eyed white got him from a local breeder and worth every cent.

We made it home!!!
All rabbits doing great, I was SO worried, but left a ton of water and food (there was still leftover at the end of the week). Never doing that again, I will have a backup plan if my sitter ever falls through at the last minute again.


AND we brought another rabbit home with us! (I can't go anywhere without getting an animal haha).
Poor girl, as soon as I saw her, I knew I needed to take her.
My mother in law rents the top floor of a farm house and the owners live on the bottom floor. They run a dairy farm, and in the back corner of the huge cow barn there was a little cage piled high of hay with a 12 year old doe in it all by herself. She wreaked of barn smell since she'd never left there. They fed table scraps and hay, but never pellets and she was skin and bones. They said she was really unfriendly, but she's not. In 12 years they never clipped her nails so they wrapped off her feet curling around, literally like 2 inches long!
She is SO happy that we brought her back here. At 12 I really don't know how much longer she will live, but at least she will have sunlight and real food and snuggles for her final time left. My daughter named her Clover, no idea on breed, probably a mix, she's definitely a mini. She drove home with us all the way from upstate NY to Ocean City Maryland for a few days, back to Fayetteville, NC and did great on the ride.

So glad to hear that your animals did well - I'm sure you are very relieved.

Funny about the new bunny! Sad that she has had so little attention for so long. 12 is ancient - very few bucks live that long; for a doe to get that old is practically unheard of. Bless you for trying to give her some good times, however many or few her days may be. Incidentally, that short, broad head looks like a Netherland Dwarf or maybe a Dwarf cross (gee, what an adorable smile . . . .)

Ok, thanks

Here's a frontal shot of the rabbit's face.
