Yesterday was a wonderful, beautiful, sunny, and warm day. In the afternoon, Ian and I played some frisbie with some friends, then we came home. It was such a nice day that I needed to be outside more, so I fed the two bunnies that Ian and I have and decided that it was time to go get the bunny cage from my parents house and clean up the sundeck(where the bunnies were roming free). In the short 20-30 minutes that we were gone, Thomas(our girl bunny) had had 3 more baby bunnies. However, they were not all snuggled warm in the house, they were lying all over the place. We were very sad about more dead baby bunnies.
So we went out with a broom and shovel and garbage bags to clean up all the poop and dispose of the deceased baby bunnies. We cleaned up the first two and they were definitely dead, but the 3rd bunny kept moving his legs a little when we touched him!!! Ian and I decided that we needed to try save our little baby, so we took a tupperware container and put some shavings in it and took him inside to where it was warm. About an hour later I went to check on the bunny and he was wiggling around looking for something to eat! Our new bunny survived!!!!! We named him Gilligan ( a good survivor name).
We then decided that Thomas needed to be with her baby, so we took her inside and made her a cozy little home in a rubbermade bin and with a cardboard box where she could hide and keep Gilligan safe. This morning I saw her feeding him!!!! I am so happy that at least one baby is still with us. I show pictures of him when he is a little less ugly. He is alot cuter today than he was last night.
Also, I am bunnysitting Anyssa Gill's bunny, Cairnie. That means that yesterday morning I had 2 bunnies and last night I had 4.
It's a zoo in here!!!
