Because we were too lazy to carry the weeds and scraps over to the rabbit hutch!

They loved it so much we made a semi-permanent run for them. I am hoping for a greener garden row next year from the extra fertilizer. (Note the "livestock guardian dog" in the front. )

And here I thought it was going to be wild bunnies! What kind are they?

The white is French Angora, the black one is Jersey Woolie. If you remember I used to raise French Angoras for meat, fiber, sales. I sold out and kept this one for a pet, he is sweet. The Jersey Woolie is tiny - my son's pet.

When I get my spot in the country I'm dreaming of angora (or pygora) goats and a llhama. I don't know why I am drawn to creatures with long hair? lol

Maybe you find it relaxing to groom them? I know if I'm stressed, all I have to do is groom Misty and I calm right down.

I am a professional groomer. I think I am expressing how much I hate shaving pretty little dogs down to naked aliens.

My white rabbit died today from pastuerella. He has had it for a long time and was unsuccessfully treated for it before. He was septic with a baseball-sized abcess in his abdomen. At least he had a good week of garden veggies and digging a (huge) burrow before we had to put him down.
