the tortoise twin's spotlight

now, I know, I heave definitely waited till the last possible minute to spotlight these 2 and I feel bad but luckily I did because yesterday I thought I noticed it and today it was in fact confirmed, check out the pics to see what I am so excited about

look at those adorable ears--all flopping side to side
I do believe the boys ears flop a bit more than the girls, but aren't they just precious.
in this shot you can notice just how fuzzy they are...again, the boy seems a pinch more fuzzy than the girl, but then again as I was checking again to see which one was boy and which one was girl I realized up till today we thought the girl was in fact the boy and the boy to be a girl, so I will definitely be re-checking before they go to their new homes to make sure we get it right
they were really enjoying sitting there, so much they didn't even notice that they could have fun off had they wanted to
and there is the little girl popping up to say 'thanks for the delicious treats'--look at thos beautiful eyes!!!!!

Prince

Now I have to admit, on new years day when we ventured on over to Canton as a family I was so excited to see the flea market I had been hearing about for so long, but I didn't plan on actually buying anything--luckily I was carrying my check book that day (only cause I had been using it for other things that week and hadn't taken it out of my purse, I promise, I truly didn't plan on buying anything)

but how could I pass this little guy up. Now the lady I brought him from was very helpful, she tole me he was a mini-Rex and that he was born in October, I am sure she gave me an exact date but I don't remember it right this minute, I was just so excited to find a Red Eyed White that was about the same age and sweet Snow White, so I excitedly wrote her a check and carried him off--litterally, I shoved him in my sweetshirt to keep him warm and off we went, Luckily my loving husband was wise enough to pick up a box to put him in for the ride home, but I did carry him through all the booths and even into the bathrooms (but don't worry I didn't put him fown or use the bathroom myself with him, I was in their with little K so she could go)
we actually named him Prince because we purchase him for the sole purpose of breeding him with Snow White, and so after drastically searching for the name of snow Whites Prince I was very disappointed to know that he never had a name, they just called him prince, and so from that point on Prince was called Prince. now that we have discovered that skiddish (who we intended to breed black Beauty to) is infact a girl though we have decided that unless we find a black mini-rex we will be breeding Black Beauty to Prince as well--and I am almost excited to see what color patterns they produce

Mr. Charcoal

I think the hardest part about these babies is knowing that we just don't have the room or means to keep them all, but we know with easter just around the corner we will be able to find loving homes for each and every one of them.
Now this guy doesn't want to be shoved in an easter basket to surprise a kid on easter day and then shoved into a cage in the backyard never to be though of again--he wants to be loved on and cuddled, he wants a home where he can sit in your lap while you feed him some celery (oddly our bunnies prefer celery over carrots), and he wants to know that he is not forgotten.
I have to say, this guy is special. With 2 spotted patterned parents and most his siblings patterned I find it impressive that he is all one color, and such a studly color such as charcoal--yes, this is your prince in shining armor, and he will sweep you off with not only his stunning good looks but also his precious little eyes.
I believe, of all our animals, bunnies are definitely the easiest. If I was going to compare them to a 'regular' household pet I would think cat, but without the dander, although they are way more impressive than cats (in my honest opinion). This little guy is working on his litter box skills so that he can continue his training in his new home with his new parents. Unlike cats litter boxes when using the right kind of litter you can empty a bunnies litter box into the compost bin or even directly into your garden--bunny poop is one of the few that won't burn your plants. they are easy to please, and very entertaining (just give him a toilet paper roll and I am sure he can entertain you for hours--or until the roll is destroyed ) oddly enough bunnies are not that expensive, you can get large bags of their feed for less than $10 at pretty much any feed store. Yes, i would say bunnies are pretty easy pets, but don't take my word for it--google it and see what others have to say.......

baby boy bunny sold 1/16/2011

the day after we bought Adam and Eve we were blessed with new baby bunnies. While preparing thanksgiving dinner I took out some vegi scraps to find Eve had given birth to babies, I couldn't count them accurately at that time and didn't want to bother, I later discovered she had birthed 7 babies, one died before he even got fluff and then between three and 4 weeks we lost 3 more babies (and one of our adults dug out and ran off) it was a very devastating time for us (specially since one of them was found dead on Christmas Day), we loved these babies very much and my son prays for them every time he says a prayer (and surprisingly he prayers a lot). 3 babies survived, we are keeping the 2 females, and hope we can find a suitable home for this little darling. He will officially be 6 weeks on Thursday the 6th, he appears to be very healthy and I can't see anything concerning, right now as I type this he is sitting rather content on my chest, he was very compliant when I took his pic and I know he is going to make someone the perfect pet.

he is tiny and I have no clue how big he is going to get but he his parents aren't huge, we just don't have a weight, I would guess they are about 5-6 lbs, he is about 2 lbs right now at most I would think, but I am bad at guesstimating, sorry, he is super cute and I know he will make a wonder family pet. Bunnies are rather easy to litter box train and can totally be left to roam out of a cage after they have been litter box trained.

this baby boy sold on Jan 16, 2011 to a very loving lady--thanks!!!!
