Round 2: New Bunnies

Since we have all the stuff for bunnies, we thought there was no use letting it all just sit there and go to waste, so we went out and got two new bunnies. We thought it would be hard to replace Buster and Kitty, but it turns they were pretty easily replaceable. Once we saw these two little ones, we were sold.

This is Hershey.

and here is Toffee.

We ended up getting Hershey here in Salt Lake at the local IFA Country store. We think he is about nine weeks old, and after some looking, we found out he is a boy. By looking, we mean, we looked in his ear and saw a "B" so we know he is a boy. We got Toffee from a store in Evanston called Murdoch's Country store. We aren't sure how old she is, but we are pretty sure she is a she. We think she is probably about six weeks old or so. She is so small though. She fits right in your hand. It was really cute, because we took Hershey up with us to Evanston, and then put Toffee in the box with him. Hershey is pretty mellow, and Toffee is not. She was sniffing all over the box, and climbing over Hershey. Immediately they hit it off, and Toffee started licking Hershey and laid down by him. The rest should be history. But not too soon. The aren't ready for that until they are 3 months old. We are crossing our fingers though, so we can get a cute litter some day.

M.I.A.

Last Saturday, we decided to let our bunnies out into their pen, just like we always do in the evening times. They really love to run around at dusk and also at dawn. So we let them out in the pen, and then went back inside to watch a movie. Around 10:30 we came back out to put them into their cage. To our surprise, they were missing. It was windy, and we noticed that part of the pen had been blown over. It wasn't completely blown down, but it was blown to an angle, so it basically made a ramp for them to get out.

We looked around the neighborhood that night, but didn't see anything, so we just opened up the cage and pen and hoped they would find their way back home. After a few days, they still hadn't returned. They really like strawberries, and we would give them to them as treats, so we then decided to cut up some strawberries, and put them in the cage and by the fence to see if we could lure them back in. This still didn't work, because we haven't seen or heard from them since.

We are being optimistic though, and we like to think they are just fine living somewhere in the neighborhood. Hopefully they are having fun, and doing some exploring. We were really sad they left, and didn't realize how much fun they were till they were gone.

So our bunnies are M.I.A. Who knows if they'll ever come back.

Kitty and Buster. We will miss you.

This was Kitty trying to get frisky with Buster. You know what I mean.

We think they were both female actually, so it was kind of funny. We still called Buster a "him" and Kitty a "her" because that's what we had called them since they were young.
