Rabbits!

As if our little hobby farm did not have enough animals, we now have rabbits.  We started with three - two boys and a pregnant girl.  One of the boys refused to stay in the pen which consisted of a house and fenced in yard.  The cats and dogs respect anything they are not used to if it is behind a fence.  They are used to the chickens and ducks and never bother any of them.  The wayward boy had to be sold for his own safety. 

The girl bunny now has two adorable, fat, furry baby bunnies.  They are precious beyond words.  As much as I like them, we have separated the boy and girl bunny so there are not more babies.  These two pampered rabbits love lettuce and carrots from the garden as well as radish tops.
