Bunnies

You never know unless you ask!

That's what Nathan found out about three weeks ago when he casually asked his dad at lunch if he could get a rabbit.  Dad said yes and construction on a new rabbit cage began!

The boys worked together and repurposed the dog house David's Grandpa Neises made for our first dog Comet.

We adopted a couple of bunnies from the Aberdeen Area Humane Society on Friday.

Nathan chose the gray one since he wanted a boy.  His name is Snuggles.

Landen, by default, received the white spotted one.  He named him Chinchilla, after a wild bunny he had briefly as a toddler. (He watched a lot of Go! Diego! Go! back in the day.) :)

Snuggles is doing very well in his new home.

Unfortunately, it was discovered on Saturday morning that Chinchilla had found a crack on the homemade cage and made a run . . . er . . . hop for it.

She is now living happily somewhere near . . . or far . . . from our farm.

Our friends the Scotters allowed the boys to have their old rabbit cages and supplies from their days raising rabbits.  They have also given them a book, which has been read cover to cover--probably several times--and some good advice to get started.

Snuggles has a nice shady spot out in our trees for now. 

Landen plans to adopt a new rabbit soon, so Snuggles won't be lonely for long! :)
