Baby Bunnies!

This was probably one of the best parts of our whole summer! Baby Bunnies!!

Quincy and Brinley got 2 bunnies for their Birthdays in February. We were told that they were 2 girls. No worries about babies, so we had them in the same cage. Well...they were wrong. We actually had a Mommy bunny and a Daddy bunny! The day after we returned from our vacation to Disneyland in May our bunnies were acting really funny. The Mommy bunny was pulling out the hair of the other bunny. We quickly separated them the following morning and all left for work and school. When I got home a few hours later I went to check on them. Imagine my surprise when I opened the door and saw 7 BABY BUNNIES!! Baby bunnies are NOT cute at first! They looked like naked baby pigs! I had no idea how to take care of them. We did a little research and realized we needed to move them into a warm nesting spot. Emilee rubbed her hands all over the Mommy bunny to get her scent and then picked up each bunny and placed it in a box with hair, towels and a warm rice pack. According to the internet, we would be very lucky to get all 7 to survive. The Mommy started to feed and take good care of them and they all lived!

After a few weeks their eyes were open, they had fur and they were so so cute! They were so much fun to hold and play with. Even I loved them! That's saying something! It was such a fun summer playing with bunnies every day. The kids named all 7 of them. We had Kevin, Marie, Beast, Oliver, Rex, Bamby and Thumper. I believe each name had something to do with a Disney Character. Of course!! 

When they got to 8 weeks old we knew it was time to sell them. Otherwise, we would have a whole bunny farm! The girls were able to sell all of them and each opened a bank account with the money they earned. They were sad to see them go!
