I figured I could find some saltines or something for them to eat. Well, I found some bran flakes cereal with raisins.
Two full boxes of bran flakes later, I had fed all the bunnies. Today I went out to take care of them only to see EVERY SINGLE rabbit on their side, motionless.
My heart literally (yes, LITERALLY!) stopped for a second. I had killed every single rabbit. Every. Single. Rabbit. Dead.
(Just so you know, to replace them with rabbits of breeding age to have the same amount of rabbits again would cost me basically around $800)
I was so mad at myself. What a stupid mistake! I should have found them something I KNEW was safe for them to eat! But I didn't.
I walked into the rabbitry, both young and old bunnies were on their sides. With minimal hope I went, "Guys!"
They all jumped up! I was soooooooooo relieved! They were all just enjoying the day (as it is really nice weather)
So, with that crisis averted, I took some photo's of the baby lops for you!
When you first open the hutch, this is all you see until you push away some of the fur! |
Here they are! 5 beautiful babies...(the sixth one she ate) |
Then as you can see, she ripped a lot of fur off her front legs and chest. She really is quite bald!
We also caught a star-nosed mole this morning. I tried to get photo's of that, but he was extremely squiggly.
As you can see, his build is incredible for digging! But he still is sort of creepy looking :)
Anyway, I'm just so glad my bunnies are all alive! Our fridge from craigslist isn't working, so we're getting another one off of there today. On our way home from this adventure we're going to pick up some REAL rabbit food!
