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!!!!!

Adam=father of many

First off, one should note, Adam wasn't named Adam because we liked the name (don't get me wrong, we do love that name) but because we purchased him as a breeding pair with Eve--and we figured since they would be the first parents to actually conceive and deliver babies that Adam and Eve fit, little did we realize Eve not just pregnant when we bought her but would deliver the babies the next day--which only confirmed that we had picked the right names for them

unfortunately this is the first time we have actually tried to take 'real' pictures of Adam--turns out, he is camera shy
don't get him wrong, he is actually a cuddly teddy bear, he just isn't happy that I am taking his picture so he seems to be giving me the stink eye as to tell me 'get that Camera out of my face'
luckily he warmed up a bit. Adam is definitely a wonderful father. with our first litter we hadn't planned on it's sudden arrival and so space was definitely limited and we didn't have much choice as to who would be where we were just happy to have a cage for each rabbit, but since we were able to plan out the 2nd batch a little bit better I made it a point to keep Even in a Cage next to Adam to see how they would do after the babies were born, many a times I would go out to find the two nuzzling each others noses through the cage wires. Often Adam would lay down with his back against eve's cage and she would lay up next to him--I could definitely tell he was concerned about her welfare and wanted to as much emotional support as possible which just tore my heart apart that I couldn't put them together in the cage (out of fear he might get too excited and impregnate her before she was ready for another set of babies).

like I said before, Adam might act all big and bad and tough, but when it comes down to it, he is just a sappy bunny who wants to make sure his mate is taken care of. I have to admit, it astonished me when I caught him nuzzling the nose of one of his 2 week old babies through the cage wire--yep, definitely glad we got such a great daddy

snowball, our little Red Eyed White

this little one is not only curious--she was hungry, trust me, she isn't being shy, she is trying to eat a clover

I moved her a bit and she is now looking at me like 'why did you do that, I was enjoying that clover' oddly she never noticed the 6 others I stuck her right in front of her.
Red eyed whites are most often referred to as Albinos, and isn't she just lovely
I don't know why I find her so mesmerizing--she is truly a doll though, look at her all nestled up just sitting and looking and taking in her surroundings, I could sit and stare at this picture all day, unfortunately my schedule does not allow for that, so off I shall go now, but if you want to sit and look a bit longer feel free to.......if you like her that much you might want to reserve her now before someone else gets her first, just saying, as rare as Red Eyed Whites are, chances are she is going to go fast

I think we will call her JR

Cause part of me truly think when she grows up she is going to look a lot like her father
luckily I had my husband to help me take these photos--she is so curious had he not been there to help carol her she might have actually gotten away, luckily she didn't mind us not letting her run free to see her suroundings
she did sit rather still for this picture--I just wish I had a better camera so we didn't have to wait till it was dark cause as beautiful as she is in this picture she is so much cuter in real life!!!!

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.......
