These are the rabbits I was fostering at home while looking for new families for them. Today I fed them everyone’s favorite, rabbit pellets, and introduced a few one at a time.
Rabbit avalanche!
Please don’t come out! And here comes a rabbit avalanche! Ta-da — pellets! Here you go. No need to be so greedy, there’s enough for everyone.
I took in 14 rabbits for now. At their old home, males and females weren’t kept apart, so here I separated them. This group is all boys. The girls’ team is a bit more intense. Nice to see such good appetites!
A few of the boys
First, a representative from the boys’ team. He looks smaller out here! I’d guess he’s six months to a year old. He has big cute eyes and slightly short ears. These are all dwarf rabbits, so they won’t get much bigger than this. He’s calm enough to hold normally. So cute!
Next, another boy with a distinctive pattern and very short ears. He’s probably three to six months old. His eyes are half blue and half brown — on both sides! Not odd-eyed (two different colored eyes), but a really unusual color. His fur is a little long but straight, so he doesn’t need much grooming and should be easy to keep. I think he’s probably part Lionhead, a rabbit breed with a fluffy mane. On his own he’s quiet, but he seems to have been a bit spoiled, and he gets into squabbles. I thought he’d do best as someone’s only rabbit.
The Angoras
This one appeared briefly last time. He’s an Angora rabbit, known for this fluffy fur. Angoras are shown at shows, and some people shear them like sheep and make sweaters from the wool. He’s very calm, like a doll. He’s a male, maybe not quite six months to a year old. All that fluff makes him look big, but he’s surprisingly small; Angoras don’t get very big, and they’re popular pets. Their coats are a lot of work, though, so they may not suit beginners. He had a huge hairball (a mat of tangled fur) on his bottom, so I shaved it bald. He doesn’t care.
And this is a white Angora who was matted all over. My trim was a bit rough and the fur came out really short, so he’s hardly recognizable. But what a cute face: blue eyes and pink ears. He’s a male, about three months old, like a little doll.
There were many more like them, and I planned to bring them out in turn. Back then, I asked anyone in Hawaii who was interested to get in touch. Thanks for watching!
